Mother's Day: No Gifts, Just Throw Money
This year my stepmother sent an email to my father, sibs, and me saying please don't get me a present. Instead donate to a reproductive rights or violence against women (recovery or prevention, presumably) organization. I decided that was such a good idea that I extended it to my mother, aunt, and mother-in-law. Most years I spend over $50 each sending them flowers, and I don't even like flowers.
