Fun Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is just a few days away, people. And for those of you still looking for that perfect Mother's Day gift, I highly suggest you head over to Proflowers pronto.

For those more creative types, may I suggest...


The "Because I'm the mother... that's why" magnetic notepad from Anne Taintor . Or perhaps the "Has anyone seen my hormones?" pill box.

Is mom the crafty type? Loves to knit or crochet or needlepoint? How about a Stitch 'n' Bitch book?

Got a Jewish mother or mother-in-law who loves to cook? (That, by the way, is a rhetorical question.) Get her the "Nosh Now, Kvetch Later" kitchen apron.

And for the mom who has fond memories of drinking Champagne out of a shoe, consider the Domestic Diva Monogram Wine Shoe, which is a whole lot more sanitary.

As for me, all I want for Mother's Day is for my daughter to clean her drawers and closets (which are stuffed with doodled-on papers, gum wrappers, broken toys, and odds and ends) and refrain from complaining while I am awake. And, okay, maybe some dark chocolate-covered strawberries or a few really good dark chocolate truffles. (It's like he named them just for me. ;-)
