Gift guides always go straight to “stuff, ” but the best Mother’s Day gift I’ve done was just taking over a chore she hates for a month. For my mom, it was scheduling all the annoying appointments. ---

Look — “I’ll take over the annoying thing you hate” is the only Mother’s Day gift that doesn’t end up in a drawer by June. I did this for my mum one year and handled all the insurance/utility phone calls for a month, and she still talks about it like I performed witchcraft. ---

100% this. My mom still brings up the year I just became the “tech support + phone call guy” and dealt with the cable company for her like it was a heroic quest, which is hilarious because it cost me $0 and like two mildly annoying afternoons. ---

Lol “heroic quest” is so real — moms will hype up the most boring customer support saga like you stormed Mordor. I did the same thing with my mom’s iCloud storage once and she still tells people I “fixed the internet. ” ---

My aunt still introduces me as “the one who saved the printer, ” and it was literally just turning it off and on again. It’s kind of sweet how the story grows every time it gets retold. ---

Lol family tech support lore is immortal — next year you’ll be “the one who rebuilt the office network” for unplugging a cable.
