She was there for you when Miss Fancy Pants beat you out for the lead role in the school play. She lifted your spirits when you fell into a fit of tears after that rotten boy broke your heart (and didn’t even mutter one “I told you so.”) She encouraged you to succeed—in every sport, in every subject, in every adventure – even when you were destined to fail.
Or maybe not.
Either way she deserves something special this Mother’s Day- we’ve got an option for every type of grandma around.
Make it very personal with this custom wooden tray by Hangs the Moon. Submit 30 words, dates or phrases that make you think of mom, select a color scheme, and presto, a gift she’ll treasure (and use). ($86 plus shipping, must order by April 28th for delivery by Mother’s Day, available on Etsy)
Sure, she’s getting older, but she doesn’t look a day over 50…and that skin! Keep her shaded with a monogrammed sun hat. (Shown here in grey, other colors available, $31.95 plus shipping, from Invite Cottage.com)
