This year feels different from others for many reasons. But one thing remains unchanged: Mother's Day is coming up very soon (this year, the holiday is on Sunday, May 10th), and now, more than ever, doesn't your mom deserve to be celebrated? Especially with a card?
Mothers are going through the ringer right now. They're homeschooling and working from home, all while trying to keep the family healthy and whole in the face of all sorts of upheaval.
There’s no doubt moms deserve a thoughtful gift, but what about also getting a fun and unique card? It can be a sweet card, a cheesy card, a funny card — anything to uniquely mark the occasion!
What should you get your mom? Here are 20 Mother's Day cards for the one woman who will always be your number one fan.
