Mother’s Day is coming this Sunday, May 10, so there’s still time to give mom the gift she wants this year. Forget the flowers, ditch the chocolates. Give mom the gift of football, in the form of San Francisco 49ers’ apparel.
Flowers, you see, look wonderful at the moment, a beautiful snapshot in time. But within a few days, they start to wilt, and by the time a week or two has passed, those flowers are dead or close to it. Functionally, this is a terrible gift. You can’t look back years from now to a vase at your mom’s house and say, “Hey, those are the flowers I got you a few years ago,” because those flowers are long gone. You know it, I know it, our moms know it. Instead, let’s think outside of the box.
Mom can wear the funnel sweatshirt below. She can also use the $28 Niner’s phone case. There’s a Manhattan purse, a duffle bag, and a nice hat if your mom is like mine and loves to be outdoors but needs some shade.
