Top 10 Gifts for Mother’s Day 2009!

There’s probably no person more deserving of our love and appreciation than the mothers in our lives! Treat the special women in your life to a gift that is just perfect for them!

For A Mom Who….

Loves to Garden: Beautiful Floral Gardening Tools!

From Wild & Wolf, this pretty and useful set of aluminum gardening tools includes a hand trowel and matching cultivating fork in gorgeous floral prints that were inspired by prints from London’s Victoria and Albert Museum!

Hates to Get Up: A Civilized Butler Awakening Device!

This beautiful, black, lacquer clock wakes you first with the sound of a gentle birdsong, then a discreet cough and comforting words, “Good Morning Madam,” followed by a charming and amusing message, a different one for six months before repeating, delivered in a perfect British accent. One message: “I’m so sorry to disturb you but it appears to be morning. Very inconvenient, I agree.” (Civilized Butler, retails for $89.95)

Enjoys Baking and Flowers: A Cake Pan of Blooms!

I love flower arrangements that have a unique presentation and this one is amazing! Jane Carroll’s design features a bouquet of fresh orange roses, green hypericum, yellow crespedia, raspberry tea roses and arrives bursting from a reusable stainless steel spring form cake pan! This is a fabulous combination of blooms and originality! (Blooming Cake Pan, retails for $79)

Is Super Busy at Home: Custom Business Cards!

Who says that stay at home moms aren’t allowed to have a calling card? Design a custom card for your mom at Iomoi, a site which offers dozens of stylish choices with chic patterns or logos, brightly colored fonts and many monogramming options. There are so many appealing selections that it might be hard to choose a favorite, but I loved the Green Artichoke Finial, the Blue Ginger Jar and the Yellow Bamboo!

Follows Fashion Trends: A Bright and Sparkly Watch!

This fun watch features a rubber watch band with matching watch face in nine hot colors like orange, yellow and pink, along with a polished round silver tone case enhanced with clear crystals. Perk up your mom’s summer wardrobe with this trendy accessory! (Curations Crystal Bezel “Sporty” Strap Watch, retails for $49.90)

Plays Tennis: A Tennis Tote from Toss Designs!

This attractive tennis bag is a terrific gift for any tennis buff! It features a clever design with a separate compartment for storing tennis shoes separately from tennis whites and is available in white with either pink or green trim! This is a great gift especially for those who play their game on Har-Tru tennis courts! (Toss Designs Club Tote, retails for $125.99)

Lives the Preppy Life: Lilly Pulitzer Fragrances!

This year Lilly Pulitzer introduced her first line of perfumes and each scent is ideal for spring and summer. Wink, in a pink bottle, is a feminine floral mix; Squeeze, in a yellow bottle, has a juicy, citrus scent and Beachy, in a blue bottle, is reminiscent of a tropical vacation! (retails for $48 to $76.33)

Is Seriously Sentimental: Nesting Necklaces!

These Oxidized Sterling Silver Necklaces, handmade in North Carolina by artist Rhonda Wyman, are adorned with the silhouette of a mother bird perched on a branch, facing her darling baby birds. You can select the number of baby birds, ranging from one to four, to reflect the number of the little ones in your special mother’s “nest!” This is a fresh and wonderful variation on the usual versions of mother jewelry! (Nestling Birds Necklaces, retail for $80)

Works 9 to 5 (and beyond!): The CEO Bag!

The CEO Bag is a chic and functional alternative to a traditional briefcase for the “on the go” working mother! When the bag unzips, it lays completely flat, creating an instant workspace. On the left it is a fully equipped tool station with pens, pen loops, highlighters, scissors, stapler, tape measure, a three ring punch, a calculator and Post-its! There’s also a large accordion style pocket, binders and spots to store business cards, CDs/DVDs and lap top. Best of all is how terrific this bag looks – it’s sold in black croc, orange, pink, and black with white trim! (The CEO Bag, retails for $229)

Feels a Bit Bohemian: Beaded Hoop Earrings!

The beaded hoop earrings designed by Viv & Ingrid are a fabulous accessory for any woman and offer a special finishing touch to any outfit! All of their signature semi- precious beaded wrap hoops are lovely, but for Mother’s Day, consider the birthstone collection which will allow you to select the stone and month for your mom! (Beaded Hoop Earrings, retail for $72 – $132)

And no matter what you choose to buy, cook, craft or create to honor the mothers in your life, know that every gesture means the world to loving, hard working women! Happy Mother’s Day!

Gifts For a Truly Special Mother’s Day!

Oftentimes, Mother’s Day comes upon us and we have not prepared as we would have liked to. For truly special gift giving, it is essential to plan ahead. I’d like to encourage you to start thinking early this year, and to place your catalog or website orders for Mother’s Day gifts shortly after Easter.

If you’d like to give a special gift to the special mom in your life, please take a look at these ideas! Or, if you’d like, print this page, circle your favorite, and hide it under your honey’s pillow!
