One fail-proof way to give Mom what she really wants for Mother's Day? Let her shop for herself. "We have a sign on our wall that says, 'Your husband called. He said you can buy anything you want,' says Barbara Ellick, who co-owns her eponymous Narberth boutique with her daughter, Debbie Ellick Wallace. "We think this is always a great plan for gift giving. Let her have a shopping spree within your budget. Make a day of it and go for lunch, dinner, brunch with her."
Here, Ellick and her daughter (who should both star in a reality series together; they're that hilarious) take us on a tour of their popular jewelry and accessories boutique, suggest a few of their favorite pieces, and share more tips for Mother's Day gift giving.
