We enlisted the help of some of our favorite moms — our Sugar editors — to reveal what they're hoping for this Mother's Day. Posh handbags, designer interior goods, camera accessories, and even a tree are just a few of the things we'd like to receive, though quality time with our families (and sleep!) is also high on our wish lists.
