So your bestie is a mom now, and you want to shower her with love on Mother’s Day. Whether it’s her first Mother’s Day or her tenth, you know she’ll appreciate a gift that isn’t a mug hand-painted by her toddler.
Turns out it’s not that hard to one-up a two-year-old. Not that it’s a competition. (It’s a competition.)
These Mother’s Day gift ideas for your mom friends will show them you care without having to offer babysitting services. From cocktail mixers to themed games to punny apparel, we’ve got the perfect gift for every cool mom on your list.
