Being a Mom is the hardest job in the world and when they get a chance to sit back and relax they DON’T pass it up!

——-Gift Idea #2: Personalized Bath Robe
Head over to the Ralph Lauren website to design a personalized, short terry robe for Mom. The design process is so easy too… just pick the size, color, monogram position, font, and font color. Then finally enter her initials. The uber-cute robe is accented with oversized patch pockets at the chest and hip and a self-belt at the waist.

Gift Idea #3: Fun Cooking Accessories
The Martha Stewart Collection at Macy’s has so many bakeware accessories and decorating tools. If your Mom loves to bake, this is definitely the gift for her. The Martha Stewart Cupcake Tree is great for entertaining, it can act as the perfect centerpiece. Also, the Spring Cake Stencils, 26-Piece Alphabet Cookie Cutter set or Sping Polka Dot Cookie Boxes are all good ideas for the best baker you know!

Gift Idea #4: Bold Statement Jewelry
J. Crew is the place for Jewelry this Mother’s Day. The speciality shop has numerous statement necklaces to make her outfit complete. They are featuring pearl necklaces with hand-finished details and custom colors. Also, check out the popular Bubble, Sunray and Primrose Garden Necklaces. All these pieces can update any look and make a old, dull outfit come back to life.

Gift Idea #5: Colorful Spring Purse
Let’s face it… Women love handbags! We just can’t get enough of them. A perfect gift for Mom is a small tote, over-the-shoulder bag or clutch from Coach in a bright spring color. This will really surprise the lady that means the most to you. This “New Madison Mini Bag” is an amazing little gift. It has the signature quilted leather with contrasting leather trim, an inside open pocket, fabric lining, a turnlock closure and a long chain strap.

Gift Idea #6: Cuddle Up with a Book
If your Mom loves to read check out the New York Best Sellers List for the perfect gift. Try “Thanks for the Memories” from the bestselling author of “P.S. I love You,” Cecelia Ahern. The book tells a mesmerizing tale of love and fate that explores what happens when what if becomes what is for two strangers whose lives are at a crossroads. Couple the new book (get a hardcover!) with a cute mug and her favorite bag of coffee beans or hot chocolate mix. Borders has awesome ideas for her special day.

Gift Idea #7: Memory Saver aka Digital Camera
Mom’s love pictures, they want to save every memory of everyday. A digital camera will allow them to save all the ones they want! Your Mom doesn’t have to be technology savvy, all the camera are extremely easy to use. The sales associates at Best Buy will find the perfect one with all the features your Mom will love. Plus, you can even get one in her favorite color!

Gift Idea #8: Dinner & A Movie
I have given you seven great ideas for gifts this Mother’s Day, however the one gift your Mom probably wants the most is… Simply spending time with you! Perfect solution is dinner and a movie, but I am not talking about taking her to a fancy restaurant and then to the cinema. I am saying cook her great dinner yourself and buy her a hot new DVD to watch together afterward. Movies that just hit the stores are Last Chance Harvey, Slumdog Millionaire, and Bride Wars.
I hope this helps and remember Mother’s Day is May 10th… They only get ONE day a year so make it SPECIAL!
