Flowers. Brunch. Homemade cards, hand-delivered. You’re familiar with all the old Mother’s Day standbys, so why not get Mom something new and exciting this year? To make your life just a wee bit easier, we’ve assembled 20 of our favorite things you couldn’t get her to say “thanks for raising me” in 2017. Whether she’s into jewelry, knitting, donuts, or any of the good stuff in between (even woodland creatures), we’ve got something she’ll like—we guarantee it.
Maybe she’s a narwhal. Maybe a bee. Or maybe she reminds you of something more… mythical. With six kindred animals to choose from, you’re sure to find something that says, “Yep, that’s Mom.”
