Whenever a gift-giving holiday rolls around, my mom goes one of two routes: the classic ‘don’t get me anything,’ or a list of practical staples she’ll end up buying herself anyway (think: notepads, a fresh tube of mascara—you know the type). The truth is, my sweet mom doesn’t need a Mother’s Day gift to feel my love. Which is exactly why I’m determined to give her the perfect one. (Is my “Type A eldest daughter” showing?)
