The window is set up with tiered platforms covered in giftwrapping paper. Arranged on the platform are flower vases, tea sets, decorative figurines, and other Mother's Day gift ideas. A banner at the bottom of the display reads: "How do you figure Mother? Is she one of the girls? Garden Club variety? Her special Bonwit gift will figure high on Mother's Day."
