Mother’s Day (in the US, anyway) is coming up on Sunday, 10 May. Here are a few early gift ideas for anyone who wants to get started on their shopping. Watch for part 2 later this month.

At last, spring! It’s taken long enough, and if your local weather has been anything like mine, you might be wondering if winter is not quite done playing games with you yet.
