MOTHER’S DAY IS THIS SUNDAY in the United States and a number of other countries around the world (if you live in the UK, sorry, you missed it by a mile). If you’re trying to think of something good to give your mom, check out this nifty worldwide guide to the holiday put together by Families Worldwide. You could go the British route, and make your mother an almond cake, or you could go the Philippine route, and do all of the household chores while your mom takes a well-deserved day off. Or you could go the Serbian route, and tie up your mother until she gives you presents.
