12 Mother's Day Gifts Your Mom Can Wear
We've all experienced the dilemma of deciding on the perfect Mother's Day gift. The present should be meaningful, and indicative of a lifetime of thank yous. But breaking the bank with a Birkin is absolutely out of the question. In honor of Mother's Day and the women who have given us so much to be grateful for, we did a bit of research and pulled together 12 gifts that are expressive, chic, and utilitarian, all for under $150.
Silk and Cashmere Scarf
No matter what your mother’s style, a silk scarf is a utilitarian and beautiful gift. Painterly patterns are in for spring, so why not try a beautifully colored scarf with a swirling print?
