Your mom spent 18+ years washing your laundry, flipping your pancakes, listening to your endless complaints, and singing your praisesâin other words, showing up. This Mother s Day, make sure you do, too, in the form of a gift more unique than french toast and a candle set.
To find the best ideas, we went straight to the source, asking the folks behind some of our favorite local boutiques what they would buy for the mothers in their lives. And if your mother is estranged, gone, or otherwise leaving you with mixed emotions on this day, know you re not alone. As it turns out, these items make pretty great self-care gifts as well.
