We have been loving IfOnly since right before Christmas when we discovered their unique take on combining life lists and magical experiences with gifting and sharing.
IfOnly connects individuals with luminaries at the top of their fields to share once in a lifetime experiences while supporting meaningful causes, nonprofits, and charities. For both Christmas and Valentine’s Day, they offered up decadent candy collections created by award-winning chefs. True to form, their Mother’s Day gifts set the bar for sophistication and luxury even higher.

I love the whole “IF ONLY” ~ Give Mom a Memory concept. It really is brilliant! It’s not that so many moms out there “have it all” ~ it’s just hard to find something really special for a mom (like yours!) who is so special.
My 92 year old mom HAS lived a very rich (is a feeling ~ NOT a back account!) and fulfilling life, doing much/ many things she has wanted to do and seeing places she wanted to see (all over the planet!) At this point, while she is still enjoying her life, there are just more physical (and financial!) limitation to what she can do.
Looking over “IF ONLY’s” offerings, one item that caught my eye (a little pricey but probably doable) is the:

She enjoys a glass of wine with her friends at dinner (or “cocktail hour”) These special wine each come with it’s own very special story, about another, very special woman! That would make for some fun conversation too – for my mom and her mostly lady friends. Very nice idea and turning a gift that is pleasurable in itself becomes an EXPERIENCE in effect! Nice. Thanks.
What a beautiful idea! not only for Mothers day but for all the women in your life, bf’s , aunts, grand mothers. i love it.
