Representing the Pacific Northwest, here are some great gift ideas for Moms and Mommies-to-be in Portland.

Portland

Hangin’ Out

Spend a day at the Japanese Garden.

Hang out with Mom and learn something!  As the Garden website tells, “Spend Mother’s Day in the Garden and enjoy this spring day with friends and family. Garden guides will be on hand throughout the Garden to answer questions about history, culture, and Japanese gardening.  Take a town car with Mom over to the gardens and enjoy some quality time together.  Special Mother’s Day gifts are available for Mom’s in the gift shop.
