Mother's Day gift guide

These ain't your mama's Mother's Day gift ideas...

This Mother's Day (May 10, 2009), forget the Hallmark cards and convenience store roses and get your mom something she deserves, something she wants or something that’ll just make her laugh out loud. Sure, back in the day you could just make her some tissue paper flowers and slap together a makeshift “#1 Mom” card, but nowadays you actually have to put some thought into your gift (the nerve!).

Fret no more, because we've found a little something for every mom—from winos and foodies to adventurers and power-lunchers, we’ve got you covered. You're welcome. —Jaime Honkawa, Special to Metromix
