Give mom a ringing sensation.
Now is the time to give mom a little of what she’s always given you An easier life
For years she's been running the house Literally, that is. Running to toddling toddlers and to ringing phones
For Mother's Day you can solve one of her moving problems with a gift extension
She can have it located conveniently so that when it rings,
it’ll be a pleasure to her ears and a relief to her feet
