Zoe’s Mother’s Day Picks
LOVE YOU, MOM
It’s almost that time of the year again—and this time you’re going to be prepared. The dilemma: What in the world do you give the woman who has given you everything? First: spend time with her! If you’re not close by, give her a call. Second: gift her something from our perfectly curated list that she will love (almost) as much as you.
And if you’re a mom reading this, happy early Mother’s Day! You hereby have our permission to gift yourself a little something that catches your eye. Better yet, send this link to your darlings—a hint never hurts.
