Mother’s Day has a way of sneaking up on people. One minute it feels far away, and the next thing you know, it’s the week before and everyone is trying to figure out what to do.

And while those gestures are thoughtful, most moms don’t remember the gift nearly as much as they remember how the day actually felt. What makes Mother’s Day special isn’t the price tag.
