Why are cultural icons so much easier to shop for than the people who we know in real life? We have absolutely no idea, but the rule definitely applies when it comes to finding interesting gifts for Mother’s Day. Sure, you could go the traditional route and send mom a greeting card, take her out to brunch, or buy her a plant, but how predictable is that? You’ve got less than a week to go before the big holiday, but if you’ve got a mom who reminds you of Patti Smith, Liz Lemon, Hillary Clinton, or a slew of other famous ladies who we love, then we’ve got you covered with the perfect present! Let us know which gifts are your favorites in the comments.
