After an especially challenging year, it’s time to show the standout mother figures in your life just how special they truly are with an exceptional Mother’s Day gift. This year more than most, it may seem next impossible to find the perfect gift that tells her how much she means to you. As moms, we have taken on not only the stress and worry from the pandemic itself, but also the effects on our family’s work schedules, school schedules, socialization, and extra safety precautions when away from home.
While a gift won’t exactly cure the hardships and sacrifices moms have made, they may just help her relax and enjoy something for herself for a change… because we know she deserves it!
To make shopping a breeze, I’ve rounded up a collection of meaningful Mother’s Day gifts from local shops #AroundFishers that every mom will love.
For the Coffee Loving Mom: Best Mom Ever Mug

With a simple, yet stately earthy design, this mug will have the special mother in your life feeling connected and caffeinated ready to take on the day.
