Let me be honest… last year, Chris gifted me a night ALONE at the Four Seasons as a Mother’s Day gift – and it was perfection.
Quality time is king and memories made together are priceless, but I also deeply love giving the perfect gift – one that says, ‘I know you, I see you, I love you, I appreciate you” – thoughtful, personal, and one that makes the recipient think of you every time they use the gift.
