Ignore those Mother’s Day jewelry commercials. You know the ones I am talking about. The ones that imply you must buy Mom a $500 bracelet for Mother’s Day or you are horrible offspring deserving to suffocate under a pile of guilt. When did those become the norm anyway? It seems like every holiday has imploded into an extravaganza intent on making all of us broke, but it does not need to be that way.
What do moms really need? Some quiet time and relaxation. So how about some affordable gifts to help her do just that?
