Healthy, Non-Toxic Cookware Makes A Great Gift For Mom!
16-Piece Healthy Chef Ceramic Cookware set
What I like about this cookware:
These lightweight pans are non-toxic and won't leach chemicals into your food! They do not contain lead, cadmium, aluminum, copper or other heavy metals. The surface of the pan won't flake off into your food!
And guess what?! They're dishwasher safe!!

Chocolate Fondue Set
What I like about these:
This stainless steel fondue pot can be used on both the stovetop or with it's own electric base. Melt your chocolate (or cheese) on the stove, then move the stainless steel fondue pot to it's base and place it on the table for everyone to reach!

"Pampered Chef" Gifts For Mom!
I especially love their stoneware!
What I like about these:
I currently have a Pampered Chef cookie sheet, and enjoy it very much. But because it's completely flat, sometimes things slip off it when I'm removing the pan from the oven. These Pampered Chef bar pans have a lip to prevent that from happening! They can be used for many things, including biscuits, veggie sausages, cookies, brownies and other bars, roasting veggies in the oven, etc.
Where to buy them:
Pampered Chef is available on the Pampered Chef website, as well as on Amazon and ebay. Although Amazon is often cheaper for many things, the bar pans are a better deal on the Pampered Chef website and on ebay.
Large Stoneware Bar Pan - direct from the Pampered Chef website
Medium Stoneware Bar Pan - direct from the Pampered Chef website
Here are some Ebay auctions for Pampered Chef bar pans.

Glass Food Storage Containers
with BPA free lids
I received some of these glass food storage containers last year, but would love some more!
What I like about these:
Plastic storage containers can leach chemicals into our food, so glass is a better option for food storage. This set of glass food storage containers come with BPA-free plastic lids and can also be used (with the lid removed) to reheat food in the oven, which saves on having to clean up an extra dish!
Features to look for in selecting glass food storage containers:
1. BPA free lids
2. Lids that lock securely and don't leak
3. Containers that can used in the oven.

Anchor Hocking 10-Piece TrueSeal Storage Set
Amazon Price: $24.97 (as of 05/30/2012)
How about a cast iron pan?
The pre-seasoned kind are awesome!
Any size is great, but I greatly prefer the pre-seasoned kind!
What I like about these:
The experts are now saying that non-stick cookware isn't that good for you, so I'm trying to switch over to using cast iron, glass, and stoneware items whenever possible.
Where to buy them:
Amazon, ebay, large camping stores, etc.

Relaxing Garden Gifts For Moms!
Garden Benches

Where to buy them:
Amazon and ebay. You can probably find some at Lowes, Home Depot, nurseries, and other similar shops as well!

Birdbaths and water fountains for the garden
What I like about these:
They add beauty to the garden, as well as provide water for wildlife. If you purchase one with running water (why not try one of the solar powered ones?), you also add the appeal of the sounds of water to the garden. Moving water doesn't encourage mosquitoes to breed, so I highly prefer birdbaths or fountains with moving water!

Window Bird Feeders
make entertaining gifts for moms
What I like about these:
They allow you to see the birds up close, while you feed them! The ones with a one way mirror have the extra appeal of enabling you to watch the birds without them seeing you!
Where To Buy Them:
Amazon, Bird stores, and probably stores like Target and Walmart as well.
