Five Mothers Day Gift Ideas


Books

1. If mom is a collector, whatever her passion - depression glass, blue and white pottery, silver, paperweights, or furniture of any period - there is a book to arm her on her next antiquing adventure. Look for pocket guides to slip in handbags during shopping excursions or more complete reference books for curling up by the fire. Prices start at $9.95.

2. Write On

Give mom a chance to sign her name with flair with a gift of an exquisite writing set. Direct from Italy is the Francesco Rubinato collection of old world writing instruments. This distinctive collection of fine writing instruments and accessories includes quill-tipped pens, glass pens, wax seals and exquisite desk sets; all attractively boxed for gift giving. Sure to make mom smile every time she writes a note.

3. Homemade Gifts

Antique stores are treasure troves of small dishes, teacups and plates in glass, ceramic or silver. All at affordable prices. Fill one up with her favourite candies, chocolates or flowers, wrap it in tissue paper, tie it with a bow. Mom is certain to appreciate this one-of-a-kind present. Prices starting at $4.

4. Wrap It Up

Vintage napkins, tea towels, crocheted doilies can take the place of wrapping paper for small gifts. Secured with a pretty ribbon, it's sure to delight mom. Prices starting at $3.

5. Hook It

Mom will love a handbag caddy designed to keep her handbags off the floor. It's a new and improved version of a style from days gone by. And it keeps pickpockets at bay, so mom can enjoy a stress-free meal. Price is $34.50.
