Gifts for Mother

I have discovered a true joy in life. In my family, gifts are purchased with insight and the hope that the recipient really loves what they got. For almost thirty years, that's how my gift shopping has been, and with my father, that's how it still works. Last year I got onto something that is even more fun, though. I started taking my mom out on little shopping trips to pick out her own gifts. She gets exactly what she wants, she gets the thrill of a free shopping trip, and we get to spend some time together. I recommend it to anyone, even if only once a year.
