As I’ve gotten older and my likes and interests have evolved, choosing gifts for my mom has become easier. I tend to choose products and visit shops that I would enjoy myself and the gifts are always a hit. Now my only explanation for this phenomenon is that I’m turning into my mother, which isn’t such a bad thing. When I was little I would, of course, rely on handmade gifts (probably something along the lines of macaroni art) and now that I’m in my late twenties I’ve come full circle with including a handmade touch with each gift. Whether I’ve crafted the whole gift or just added in a handwritten note, my mom always appreciates the extra thought.
