The question comes up every year: What do I give Mom for Mother’s Day? I’ve given my Mom enough chocolate and bouquets of flowers to sufficiently squash any chance of either of those being a true surprise. While those are fine gifts and a staple for ‘safe’ Mother’s Day choices, I enjoy giving my Mom something we can experience together and create memories.
