Mother’s Day is universal. It's a special day for love, celebration and, most importantly, appreciation. A mother's love is unconditional, so it's only fitting we set aside a day to acknowledge and appreciate her.
Many of us will shower our mothers with special gifts, like jewelry, flowers, or a special day of pampering at a spa. We might also prepare a special meal for her at home, like breakfast in bed. Or we may decide to leave the house and avoid the potential cleanup by treating mom to brunch, lunch, or dinner on her special day.
