My mom is truly amazing. Since opening Red Sail, she's been my biggest supporter, my sounding board, my accountant, my dog walker, and my emergency shop keeper. I'm SO LUCKY to have her in my life!  If you have a rockstar mom, grandma, or spouse who is a mom to your two (or four legged) kids, show them some major love by celebrating them this Mother's Day, May 12th! We've compiled our Top 20 favorite gifts for Mother's Day below, but we have hundreds more to choose from in the shop and online.
