What Fancy Moms Want From Mothers Day According To My Fancy Mom

Why guess when you can go straight to the source?

Well if targeted marketing is any indication… it’s almost Mother’s Day. I know Mother’s Day is tough for a lot of us, for a lot of reasons. If you’re missing your mother, wanting to be a mother, estranged from your mother, never knew your mother - if you’re in pain, I’m sending you a lot of love, and hope you’re able to find peace. You might want to skip this one.

As much as I love to be showered in gifts and praise, Mother’s Day feels like one of those OH FUCK holidays, as in Oh, fuck! I forgot it’s Mother’s Day! And then again, it’s tough to gift for, especially if the recipient is someone you deeply respect and admire who also has exquisite taste. So! I asked my mom, who is very fancy! You might remember her from this, this, and this. She has the best taste in non-obvious things, like, where to get the best spoon rest or garden snips. Little luxuries that only someone with a well-honed eye and zest for life would appreciate. Sometimes it’s best to just go to the source, am I right?

Ok, take it away, Mom:

Most moms don’t want flowers. They don’t really even want a gift. They want YOU. We want our children to remember us, and show us that we’re still a part of their amazing, busy, chaotic lives. Nothing makes us happier than to spend time with our kids. Get a hug from them. Hear that we didn’t screw up TOO badly as a parent. And…maybe also a sweet gift.
