What Moms Say They Really Want for Mother’s Day

As Mother's Day approaches, shoppers are eager to find the perfect gift to show their appreciation. From spa days and stylish handbags to heartfelt books and relaxing beach reads, moms have a wide range of wishes. Nayyan Chandler from The Shops at Palm Desert shares insights on popular gifts through her team at Macy's and Barnes & Noble. Macy's has an array of fragrances paired with complimentary flowers, and at Barnes & Noble you can get mom a personalized story journal, which they say has been the most popular. Gift cards are always a good option for those hard-to-shop-for moms. Whether it’s a quiet moment with a good book or a special dinner out, the message is clear: it’s the thought and love behind the gift that truly counts.
