We're sure your mom kept every paper mâché flower you made her in grade school (and still treasures them!). This Mother's Day if you're stuck on what to get your mama, how about the gift of spending time together doing something she'll love?
We've rounded up some fun activities you can do with your mom (or send mom to) this Mother's Day weekend.
Get crafty with your mom at Anice Jewelry's Mama Love workshop. Bring your mama and make a special piece of custom jewelry fashioned from vintage accessories.
