Finding the perfect gift for the woman (or women) who shaped you into the person you are today can be … difficult. We took one for the team and scoured all the local shops to find the perfect gift ideas for the women in your life (because we can’t forget the grandmas, aunts, and mother-in-law!). Now it’s up to you to choose just one gift to give your mom this year. Happy shopping, Mavens.
