When to send a thank you GIF to your mom
Mother's Day is the obvious one — but moms deserve to be thanked all year long. Send one after she helped you through something hard, gave you advice you didn't ask for but needed, watched the kids, cooked a meal, or just called to check in. The best thank you GIFs aren't always the ones sent on the right holiday — they're the ones sent on a random Wednesday that she wasn't expecting. Those are the ones she'll screenshot and keep.
