Although flowers, gift cards and a meal are usually on the top three list for Mother's Day gifts...a more personal approach---equally as affordable-is to go the accessories route---selecting something that matches the personality and taste of the celebrated woman in one's life.
At a recent media event, hosted by the Accessories Council Prez- Karen Giberson and stylist, Alison Lang...we got to get up close and personal with a variety of on trend companies and their offerings- and individuals who hand craft items---in a relaxed setting (aided by
OGIO wines' refreshing Processco-thanks!).
