THE MOTHER OF ALL GIFT GUIDES
THIS MOTHER'S DAY GIVE MAMA THESE GROOVY GOODIES
Mother’s day is the one day of the year when everyone is obligated to shower mom with gifts while giving her nothing
but peace and quiet for a full day—well, at least the gift giving part can happen. Whether you're dropping hints to your
kids and husband or looking to get your mother, sister or best friend something special, this guide will help you find the
perfect present for all the deserving moms or moms-to-be in your life.

| Just because she hasn't given birth yet, doesn't mean she shouldn't be rewarded for gestating a human being. Give your favorite mom-to-be the Mama Mio’s Congratulations! Kit. With its Moisturizing Shower Cream, Super-rich Body Cream and Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil, any future mama will be looking and feeling good when it's time to push the watermelon out. ($50, www.mamamio.com) |

Grocery shopping lists aren't always that much fun, but with the help of a Picpad, you can help a fellow mom make her shopping experience a little more enjoyable. It's simple too—all you have to do is choose a picture of her little ones and the paper size. The result: a beautiful black and white personalized to-do list. As an added bonus, a portion of your purchase will be donated to Heifer International, a non-profit whose goal is to help end world hunger and poverty. ($27.95, www.picpads.com) | ||

| Know a mom who has both a boy and a girl and is always on the go? Give her the DEESH Personalized Boy Meets Girl Tote Bag. With these Hitchcock-inspired totes, she can run around in style sans inspiring sibling rivalry. ($60, www.shopintuition.com) | If you know a mom who’s both a jet-setter and a beauty product aficionado, she’ll love the Spa Sampler from June Jacobs, which doubles as complete travel kit. It features eleven delicious spa products, all of which are made from pure plant and flower extracts. ($125, www.junejacobs.com) | |||

| You may not freely admit it, but every woman has a little bit of Martha Stewart-envy. Why not help a mom let out the organizational beast inside? By giving Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook: The Essential Guide to Caring for Everything in Your Home, you can insure that the next time you visit her home, her fitted sheets will be properly folded and she will have 101 household uses for vinegar. ($28.35 at www.amazon.com) |
Online photos are great, but not everyone is particularly Internet-savvy. Surprise your favorite non-techie mom with a photo album from Together Book. They'll bind 25 to 100 of your photos into a hardcover linen album and you can order an optional slipcase or stamped title. Prices vary depending upon quantity of photos, size and inscriptions ($29.95, www.togetherbook.com). |

| What mom doesn’t love receiving flowers on Mother’s Day? While fresh-cut blooms are beautiful, they don’t always last very long.

Their delicate scents will make her swoon long after May turns into June. ($58 each, www.nordstrom.com) |
