If Mom is happy, everybody is happy. So, you need to get a good sense of what your Mom wants for Mother’s Day before you shop.
Does she want to be pampered with a luxury item? Is she the Cinderella Gift type who wants something useful to make her life easier? Does she out-nerd Dad by liking gadgets and looking for the latest tech? Does she cook? Is she active? Only you know for sure, and — if you don’t know — don’t go home.
Our Mother’s Day Gift Guide offers a little something for every Mom, inspiring you to build a happy homestead and good relations with the Woman of the House.
Now, don’t screw it up.
