If you don't know what to get your mom this year for Mother's Day [1], don't worry ー we've been there too. As appreciative as we feel about our moms and how great they are, knowing what gift they'd especially appreciate can be hard to know. However, you can help yourself narrow down on an item by knowing your mom's love language.
Love languages are [2] ways in which we give and receive love most, and they give us insight into how we can communicate our love effectively for a specific person. Five love languages exist: words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, receiving gifts, and acts of service. By asking what your mom's is (and if she doesn't know, she can take this quiz [3]) and buying accordingly, you can show her you love her in the way she'll feel it best. Read ahead for 20 Mother's Day gifts, or four from each love language, that you can consider buying for your mom!
