Mothers Day gift ideas for that special mom If youre a son or daugh- ter who has exhausted his or her list of Mothers Day gifts, youre probably not alone. It only takes a few years to work through the perfumes, blouses and house plants that are the typical Mothers Day fare. So how about trying some- thing different this year? Here are a few ideas for those moms who might appreciate something un- expected. 1. Tickets to a show - If you live near a metropoli- tan area, you can purchase tickets to a Broadway show that may be touring. Plan a day of fun for mom, complete with dinner out and seats at a musical or drama. 2. Hotel stay - While you may be the apple of her eye, what mom wouldnt enjoy a night or two away from home at a local hotel for some pampering or relaxation? Secure her a room for two (dad or her other special someone can go along). Even just a night away will recharge her spirits. And not hav- ing to make the bed or cook a meal will win rave reviews. 3. Name a star - The International Star Registry (www.starregistry.com) al- lows you to purchase and name a star. When Mom looks up into the night sky, shell know there is a star out there with her name, and shell join the celebrities, dignitaries, and thousands of individuals worldwide who also have stars bearing their names. 4. Fashion or home makeover - Youve seen those shows where expert designers transform a per- son or a home in a matter of a weekend. Why not give Mom that extra-spe- cial treatment and offer something similar? Itll take some advanced work, but you can investigate home or fashion designers that can provide tips on what can be improved. In terms of a room makeover, you and your siblings can do the work. For a fashion make- over, set up an appointment with a personal shopper or hair and makeup stylist. 5. Shopping spree - Have everyone chip in to get a gift card to a store that Mom has d r eamed o f shopping in. This could be a high-end bou- tique in your area or one of the more ex- clusive retail chain stores. 6. Give her a break - What task does Mom do regularly that she re- ally doesnt relish? Maybe its cleaning the house or cooking dinner. You can take over that task or hire a service to come in and do it. Have a cleaning profes- sional come in and give the house a top-to-bottom sprucing. Then at the end, have a Mothers Day party planned with Mom as the guest of honor. By thinking outside of the box for unique Moth- ers Day gifts you will ensure that Mom is truly surprised this May.
