You could also get your mom a potted plant or with more lead time you could have grown something from seed.
This year we plan on baking with local and organic ingredients for our moms.
I would love to receive any of the items on the list for mother’s day, but I can’t wait to purchase the half a teaspoon showerwatch for my grandsons.
I love these ideas, especially the briefcase by SECCO. I haven’t seen those before. It doesn’t look like they ship to the US though.
N&J - awesome — it doesn’t get much better than home baked goods.
Sue — with 3 grandsons, it’s a worthwhile investment!
Chanell — RE: purchasing… if you go to their HOME page, click COMPANY, and then click RETAILERS. There are 3 retailers listed in NYC — MoMA, 3Rliving and The Stroll in Bklyn. And you’ll find other retailers listed via Country.
Enjoy Mother’s Day!
