If you have ever heard your mom utter the words “momma needs a drink” then this gift is perfect for her! Whether her favorite is a red or white, a snarky or funny wine glass will not only remind her of you but make her laugh every time she takes a sip. The best part about wine glasses like these is you can customize your choice to reflect your mom. For the empty nester, get one like below that says it’s her time to wine. For the mother with kids still at home, let her flex her love of motherhood. Or, if she is still raising little ones, don’t be afraid of glasses that make fun of her life. They will love the honesty all displayed on a wine glass! This is a fun gift not only for the mom who raised you but for any other moms, especially those with young kiddos. Show them you care and give them a glass that they will love to drink out of!
All moms are superheroes! They raise children, work, take care of a house, are best friends, therapists and are everything for everyone.
