for the MOD MOM: mother's day gift guide

Still need a gift for the mom in your life? I just so happen to have a few ideas.

I'm a notorious over-researcher when it comes to gift giving, so in honor of Mother's Day this weekend, I offer you this tediously prepared list for all of the moms out there who appreciate/love/obsess over modern architecture and design as much as I do. Fingers crossed that the other half of claass HAUS is paying close attention.
