This Last-Minute Mother’s Day Gift Is Everything Mom Wants

Mother's Day 2019 is right around the corner (May 12, to be exact!), and while giving your mom that handbag she's had her eye on or treating her to a delicious brunch are fabulous ways to celebrate, we can help you take it up a notch this year with a heartfelt gift you can't find in stores.

Patch is giving readers the chance to put their love and appreciation for their moms into meaningful words, with a digital "thank you" that will last a lifetime.

From now until May 6, you can write a letter to your mom and have it featured it in your town's Patch newsfeed just in time for Mother's Day.

Email us your Mother's Day letter here.

Whether you want to brag to your hometown about how amazing your mom is, pay tribute to a mother who is no longer with us or recognize someone special who has been like a mother to you, all letters are welcome. Just be sure to include your name, hometown and a photo, and send it to locallove@patch.com by May 6.

Because when's the last time you properly honored the ladies who have dealt with your childhood antics, helped you navigate adulthood and lifted your spirits every step of the way? Happy Mother's Day!
