Mother’s Day is almost here, which means it’s time to start thinking about the perfect way to show your appreciation. For a little inspiration, we asked four of our own associates to share their most memorable gifting stories. Read up, then begin planning the most epic Mother’s Day yet.

Anna V., Manager, Boutique Production
“My son, Mason, made me a hand-painted flower pot. He was only one at the time, and he was very proud of himself.”

Joanna B., Men’s Content Editor
“When I was a kid, I whittled an entire duck out of a block of wood for my mom. I don’t think she’ll ever forget that.”

Ashley B., Copywriter
“I brought my mom to brunch at this ridiculously cutesy place. We took selfies in front of the restaurant (my mother’s never felt so cool).”

Lynn V., Manager, Boutique Production 
“Last year, when my daughter Ava had just learned to spell, she crafted me a card with the words ‘I Love You Mommy.’ It was so touching to see the words spelled out so beautifully.”

Our Best Mother’s Day Ever: The Gifts She Really Wants Boutique opens Friday, April 4, at 3PM ET.
