Mother’s Day is a mandatory holiday. There’s no getting out of it — not this year, not any year, so long as there are moms in your life, whether your own or someone else’s. We won’t enumerate everything these women do on a daily basis (because it would make your head spin), but suffice to say they sacrifice the most intimate parts of their bodies to bring people like you into the world, then care for them their whole lives. Now it’s payback time.
If you’re one of the many dudes who just realized that Mother’s Day is this upcoming Sunday (that’d be May 8, 2022, for those who bothered to consult the calendar), and who have no clue what to buy for the mom(s) in your orbit, we’re here for you.
Because you left this oh-so-important task to the last minute (something a mom would never do), you better order something now. But not just anything. We took the time to hand-pick the best gifts for new, young, and fun-loving moms. So stop procrastinating and pull out that credit card because it’s time to go online shopping.
