All girls turn into their mothers eventually. It’s just one of the truths you must learn to accept. Personally, we can’t think of anything better than turning out like our mom. Yes, we already have her smile and her mannerisms, but there’s more to it. When we grow up (someday) we want to be just like her. She’s kind, beautiful, and stylish, she’s smart and talented, and her skin looks amazing for her age. (Seriously, we’ve never been happier to have someone’s genes—this woman looks like our sister and we’re not even close to kidding.) Anyway, the point is that there are worse things in life than turning out just like your mother—after all, she helped shape you into who you are today, and that’s pretty amazing. So we say, make this year the best Mother’s Day ever… and let Seattle Picks help you. Some of our best ideas of gifts for Mom are below, so hop to it ladies! And don’t forget to tell them Seattle Picks sent ya! xoxo |
