For the mothers in your life.

Flowers, jewelry, perfume, chocolate. Sure, if you want to be like everyone else, get your mother, grandmothers, and the mother of your children one of those. Or break the mold, and be remembered for putting some thought into your gift. My mother doesn't like Mother's Day, because she thinks it is a "guilt holiday", but even she wouldn't mind getting one of these gifts next Sunday:

• A money tree ($38 + shipping) or a kit for a trio of sunflowers ($32 + shipping) from RedEnvelope wills how her that your love just keeps on growing.
• Wrap her in comfort with some silk pajamas ($23.99) and a matching silk robe ($19.99) by Nick & Nora at Target.
• Bruce Springsteen's "The Seeger Sessions" will rock (folk?) her socks off, and the CD is only $11.96 at Amazon.
  
• Celebrate her generous side with a charitable gift to Heifer International; they even have special Mother's Day packages.

Happy Mother's Day!
