Mother's Day Gifts
When you hear "Mother's Day," what pops into your head? For many people, images of greeting cards and flowers picked up at the local grocery store spring to mind...not exactly what Anna Jarvis, the creator of the holiday, had in mind when she declared that Mother's Day would be a day to honor mothers and motherhood. She was so angered by what Mother's Day had become (to her, greeting cards are a sign that people are too lazy to write their own letters) that she later opposed the very holiday that she had created!
With that in mind, this year, why don't you go above and beyond the typical bought-at-the-last-minute card and drugstore gift, and actually put some time and effort into your mom? I put together a list of great Mother's Day gifts for every type of mother, all of which are guaranteed to put a smile on her face!

Gifts For Moms Who Have Everything
If your mom is impossible to shop for...
Does even just the thought of trying to shop for your mom make you want to pull your hair out? It's okay - we've all been there. So retract those claws from your scalp, take a deep breath, and check out our "Gifts For Moms Who Have Everything" selection (the following gifts are just a sampling of the thousands of unique gifts we carry, so don't get discouraged!). Ultimate Mother's Day Roses
As seen in The Wall Street Journal!
Hopefully, you've already seen our lens about duct tape roses. We've had our team of Professional Duct Tape Rose Creators working night and day to get duct tape roses out to you fast. This month, they'll start making our Ultimate Mother's Day Rose Bouquets in preparation for Mother's Day.What's the deal with duct tape roses, you ask? Duct tape roses can be given to anyone - that's the beauty of them. Sometimes real flowers are just too cheesy, or too predictable, or too personal. And unfortunately, real flowers have this tendency of...well...dying. Isn't that an awful message to send to someone, now that you think about it? "I love you, and to show you how much I love you, here are some flowers that will die in 2 - 5 days." How sweet, right? Wrong. Now, we're not saying that duct tape roses are the classiest gift you can send or receive, but they're more thoughtful than a pre-arranged bouquet of grocery-store-bought flowers, aren't they?
Our duct tape roses come in a variety of colors (silver, red, white, pink, black, blue, purple, and yellow), in quantities of 3, 6, 9, or 12 flowers. They are packaged with tissue and ribbon, and arrive wrapped in cellophane.

Mother's Day Giant Fortune Cookie
This giant hand-dipped & decorated gourmet fortune cookie is another version of our popular Mother's Day Gift!Celebrate Mom this year in a truly inspired way. Tell her how "fortune"-ate you are to have her in your life...she'll consider you one sweet AND smart cookie for doing so!
Hand-dipped in fine Belgian chocolates, our confectionery artisans generously decorate this treat with sweet pastel candies - pink hearts and sprinkles - and embellish the cookie with hand-crafted royal icing butterflies, flowers, and a candy plaque that says "Mom".
Mothers of all ages will be pleasantly surprised with this creative alternative to flowers and candy. It's a unique combination of both, and in addition, inside the cookie she'll find your special message on the 12" fortune!

- Nice ideas. I might go with the bracelet, although I'm sure she would settle for moving out of her house so she and "Rick" can have some much needed alone time. 5*'s Oh Yeah! great job
