Cheers to the women in our lives who have loved and mentored us since the beginning. The wise women who raised and nurtured us, listened to us in times of need and guided us to the right path. Whoever that mother figure is in your life, we encourage you to do something special for her this Mother’s Day, May 14. She might claim your love is all she needs, but we know better than that.<\/p>\n
We asked moms from our Detroit headquarters what they want for Mother’s Day and what this holiday means to them. Read their Mother’s Day hints below. <\/p>\n

I love the style of this relaxed hobo<\/a> bag and the color combination of camel and black. Working in the leather factory has taught me so much and I love seeing the finished products in our store.” <\/p>\n What does Mother’s Day mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n “My two children J’Nyah and D’Ayrah push me to keep working hard each and every day. Mother’s Day is when we all spend time together. While not everyone has a mother, I believe this is a time to give thanks and appreciation to all the role models and people who took care of us. It’s a day for us all to relax and appreciate one another.”<\/p>\n [[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”3635″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”1609″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”2667″}}]]<\/a><\/p>\n Shop the Runwell Turntable<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Why did you pick this gift? <\/strong><\/p>\n “My dream gift for Mother’s Day would definitely be the record player<\/a>. On weekend mornings, my husband and I turn on music and dance with Luna (my baby girl). She loves it, and laughs hysterically. She especially likes the Dropkick Murphys and showtunes.”<\/p>\n What does Mother’s Day mean to you? <\/strong><\/p>\n “Being a mother is overwhelming. I never believed anyone when they told me I could love someone so much. I have been lucky enough to experience some amazing things in my life, and my goal now is to make sure she gets even more out of life. Luna is pretty amazing as far as babies go \u2014 even if she has only slept through the night once since she was born. If I haven’t gone crazy, I might not!”<\/p>\n [[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”3636″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”1585″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”2667″}}]]<\/a><\/p>\n Shop the Cass Watch<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n Why did you pick this gift? <\/strong><\/p>\n “I picked the black and gold Cass Watch<\/a> because I love the color scheme. The gold makes it a little dressy, but the double wrap bracelet keeps it from being too formal, plus it keeps me on time without having to be glued to my cell phone!”<\/p>\n What does Mother’s Day mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n “Being a mom is great. Having little people that are a variation of you is great to witness and also being able to experience the world through their eyes is refreshing. It\u2019s also a great feeling to be able to give and receive the same unconditional love you\u2019ve always had for your parents with your own children. Mother\u2019s Day to me is a day for myself and my family to take a moment from our busy schedules to just relax and enjoy the time we have with each other. No appointments, things to do, or places to go, just hanging out and enjoying each other\u2019s company. I have two kids: Luis is six and Ramona is three, and the new baby (the sex is still a surprise) will be arriving in 5 weeks (June 4th)!”<\/p>\n [[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”3637″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”1558″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”2667″}}]]<\/a><\/p>\n Shop the Medium Tote<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Why did you pick this gift? <\/strong><\/p>\n “I\u2019m always lugging around a ton of gear \u2014 the medium tote<\/a> fits all the essentials and allows me quick access to whatever I need at the moment. I love that it has a removable shoulder strap, too!”<\/p>\n
