What a Mom Wants... Gifting in the Time of Corona
HEY, did you already send your Mom a card or gift? Mother's Day is next week.. Sunday, May 10. #TuesdayTip: this is a great week to get those gifts in the mail. USPS could use the boost right now, too!📪
I'm working on sending my mom some mini framed prints since she loves to display photos of her 7 grandkids everywhere in her house. Like every wall is covered with photos! And working on sending something to my stepmom, too.
How are you planning to show your appreciation for the "Mom" (or Moms) in your life? Not sure?
Well, here are some ideas to send something sweet to the “Moms” in your life and help continue to support Seattle and Washington small businesses.
