OMG! It's Mother's Day this Sunday? It's ok if you forgot. I understand. So many of us have such busy schedules and so many errands to run that we lose track of time, but it's not too late! You still have time to find mom a pretty and thoughtful gift that she'll absolutely love opening on the morning of May 9th. Remember that horrendous episode of 'That 70's Show' where Eric and Red try to pass off a gas station balloon and mini-map as a wonderful, pre-planned Mother's Day gift? Avoid that scenario for yourself and click on the slideshow to see a selection of gifts with something for every mom. Fragrant perfumes, gourmet cookbooks, comfy sleepwear ... whatever it is that your mom will love, you'll find it last minute here and she'll never have to know that, although you love her, you may have temporarily forgot about Mother's Day.
Feminine Gifts For The Sweetest Mom

At one point in their lives, all mothers were small girls, teenagers, and young ladies themselves. As we get older, it's interesting to see in what aspects you're similar to your mother, and in what ways you two are total opposites. Perhaps your mother is just like you and finds joy and beauty in the sweeter, more feminine aesthetics like girly pink hues and fluttering ruffles and lace. Or maybe you're like me and my mother, where we are friends everywhere but in the dressing room while I run for the edgy and shiny, and she turns to classic and floral. Maybe your mom is the type to match her pearls with a floral sheath, or likes ladylike colors and embellishments in her accessories repertoire. Perhaps she has the sweetest smile to match her disposition and tastes in fashion. Whatever the situation, let your mother be a girl again and get her something feminine and dainty for this Mother's Day. Click on the slideshow to see some elegantly girlish gift ideas!
