Sentimental Gifts That Will Even the Score After Mom Buries You in Thoughtful Christmas Presents
On Christmas morning, your mom is going to be standing there like Baby Yoda, looking up over her coffee, watching you open the mountains of thoughtful gifts she bought you. So you better have an amazing present (or two) to give her in return.
It's hard, though, because anything Mom really needs, she can just buy for herself. That's why you need to think of something special – a gift she'll appreciate because it came from her daughter. And you're not going to get that from a sweater you found at the mall. These presents are the perfect combo of creative, useful, and super touching. Cue the sentimental mom tears.
