What would be a Mother’s Day gift that mom would remember forever? Well, we are pretty certain she wants to relax and enjoy the day. No meals to cook, no kids to take care of, and no dishes to wash. She would probably like to have a glass of wine or cocktail in hand, sit on the deck and enjoy a plate of yummy food (she did not have to prepare) followed by a dessert fit for a queen. Sound about right?
