Mother's Day Ideas to Bring You Closer

Mamma mia!

Great minds think alike: I just found out that Elizabeth and I both got our moms Overose candles for Mother's Day last year. I recently hopped on MR's Thoughtline for our daily Office Hour and received some splendid suggestions for how to treat your mom this weekend:

— "If you're staying at your parents' during quarantine, deep clean a room in the house that's been left alone for too long."

— "I sent my mom a gift card for a massage from her local spot! Of course it will be used at a later date, but it's a nice thing to look forward to plus supporting a local biz!"

— "Rewatch old home videos over Zoom with the family. Childhood memories of normal times feel even sweeter now."

— "There are a few new businesses that have popped up from out-of-work bartenders where they make specialty cocktails and home deliver! My mom has been not-so-subtle in her request for it to be her Mother's Day gift!"

— "My mom throws her own pottery and she has a ton of empty pots around the house. I'm sending her plants that have been on her wishlist for forever to make use of all of her beautiful pieces. There are so many gorgeous options on Etsy!"

— "Send her a Cameo from former Red Sox and Yankees player Johnny Damon." (Okay, this is my idea)

If you're in the market for a more tangible last-minute Mother's Day gift, Eliz has got you covered below. Say hi to your mother for me! —Edith
