What does your mom like to do? Can give more suggestions from there.

Otherwise skincare, perfume, bags, shoes, etc.

Order brunch/dinner from a restaurant and have it delivered to her

Offer to go organize or clean a part of her house. That’s what I would want.

I have a housekeeper that comes every other week but I would love help organizing. Pantry or kids clothes. Etc.

I’m getting my mother a gift card to a plant nursery since she likes gardening and just bought a new house, so she needs a few things for the yard and garden. My husband got me an Ember Mug, per my request, which I’m super excited about. I also second the digital photo frame, particularly if your mom has grandchildren. My mom has one and is obsessed with it. It’s 90% photos of my son.

You’re kinda late in the game to get anything delivered. I opted for some nice chocolates this year.

Recommend a giftcard or something delivered via local delivery. There’s a company called Drizzly that will deliver wine from local liquor stores but the recipient needs to sign for it (obvi), so you have to give mom the heads up.

Prime can deliver tmrw

Hey Everyone!
I’m coming up on one year of working in consulting post under grad in a financial services vertical. I know I want to transition to corporate strategy down the road, but don’t have much interest in financial service strategy. Should I try and switch into a more applicable practice such as M&A or operations? Will I be able to break into corporate strategy without any past experience in that industry? I want to avoid getting pigeonholed into FS, but with COVID, don’t want to leave.

I started dating this guy some months before covid struck.. he was literally crazy about me. He even stayed in Hyderabad for months just so that we could meet once before he went on to stay with his family. After that it had been a real roller coaster. He pampered me a lot before and now he hardly talks. We both have switched to different companies (earlier were in the same) and now he works 6 days a week. Sleeps or Vists his relatives or works on Sundays. Sometimes I feel he no longer loves me.
