Scoop OTP recommends local gifts for Mother's Day

CANTON, Ga. - May 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Finding the perfect mother's day gift can be a challenge. Scoop OTP has created a handy list based on your mother's style.  These products are created or made outside the perimeter of Atlanta.  This handy guide is a great tool when considering gifts for your mom, or leave highlighted copies around the house for your husband and children. Our moms raised the creators of Scoop OTP right, and we know it's the thought that counts, but still, here's a great gift guide that supports local business.

Scoop OTP personally selected a varitey of products that fit different budgets and mom's personalities.
