Mom—the glue that holds the whole operation together. She does everything possible to keep her family happy, healthy, and safe. She rocks the car pool like a champ, shows her support on the sideline of every game, and answers every middle of the night call from down the hall—just to name a few. At times she may be the unsung hero of the family. So on Mother’s day, it’s high time that she gets the recognition she deserves with a gift (or two, or three!) that she’ll actually love.

3. A Hilarious Read for Expectant Moms
There are so many books out there to help mothers-to-be navigate the serious aspects of prenatal care and how to prepare for baby’s arrival.

4. Make a Difference for Women Around the World
With so much money spent on Mother’s Day, the folks behind the Mother’s Day Movement wanted to start a movement—a movement of funds to mothers in need around the world. So if you are looking to share something meaningful with your family on May 13 and teach your littles about helping others, donate to the Mother’s Day Movement. Your contributions go to making a difference in healthcare, education, clean drinking water, and more. (Make a donation, mothersdaymovement.org)
