What's the best gift...

The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.  ~Pierre Corneille, Le Menteur

In the pandemonium of shuffling classes around and juggling homework, it hit me early last week that my mom's birthday was Saturday. After a quick lunch, I hurried to the bookstore where I could collect some ideas. Every book passed and decoration on display made me less and less sure of what she would like. I realized that gift giving is something that takes a lot of thought and time, and giving the right gift means a lot to the sender as well as the receiver.
