Mother’s Day Gifts Your Mami Really Wants

OK Mamis.

I need you to stop being so selfish.

Your family asks you every year what you would like for Mother’s Day.

And you answer with something to the tune of, “Oh honey, you don’t need to get me anything. All I want is a hug”.

I am also guilty of the same.

Then it dawned on me. Who am I to deprive them of the satisfaction of getting me something they know I would really like?

They clearly want to make me happy and show me how much they love me, right?

Why would I be such a meanie and let them anguish over what to get me?

I decided to do my guys a solid and post a list of the stuff mami really likes to make the process super easy.

Here is my list of things I am really digging.

And ladies, feel free to share this list with your guys if you too are a kinda geeky, somewhat trendy mom who knows she is terrific and swears she knows everything.

Just think of the brownie points you will have acquired wit these gifts. You’re covering two bases here.

#1 You are acknowledging that mom is still very cool.
