Mother’s Day Gift Guide ’10

Let’s face it, buying gifts for your mom and mom friends can get a little tiring. Especially when those people seem to have everything you can buy at most retail stores.

So when we were putting this gift guide together, we decided to go with a more local approach, highlighting some of the very best LOCALLY OWNED businesses Birmingham has to offer.

Here’s our Top Ten:

1. Pampered by Adrienne- Spoil your mom/grandmom/friend/sister with some of the most awesome HOMEMADE products around. With a variety of products available, your sure to end up with a beautiful gift basket.  *Enter Promo Code “Mother” when you check out to receive free shipping and a special gift!*
2. What Mom doesn’t love candles? Check out Serene Ridge Candles (A Gold Canyon Consultant) for some of the best smelling candles around!  And if she doesn’t like candles, Go Green with their Homeology line, an environmentally friendly home cleaning line.
3. Premim Flags and More- What mom doesn’t love making her home look great? Give her a beautiful Welcome Flag, Garden Flag, or one of their new Personalized Door Mats.  
4. 90% of moms love Personalized Gifts, so why not give her a gorgeous Market Tote from Cuties for Cuties. It’s great for shopping, picnics, tailgating, and to organize your errands.
5. How about a chicGift Certificate for Mom to help her “up” her style quotient? Available in any amount (services are charged by the hour), she can use her certificate for a “What Not to Wear” style Closet Revamp (we’ll weed out the bad stuff then “shop” her own closet for new outfit combinations!) and/or a personal shopping trip.
6. How about a gift to help spice up her love life? We all know that most moms could use some help in that area and BrownBag Parties by Kim has a great selection of items for just that. A little shy about buying things like that? Give her a gift certificate! Their anti-stress massage oils are great!
7. Amanda Graves 31 Gifts- Give mom a cute Beach Bag for Mother’s Day. She can keep everyone’s sunscreen and beach accessories in one place and look good while doing it. Who says being organized can’t be fashionable?
8. What mom doesn’t love having beautiful pictures of her most precious gifts to show to all her friends? Give her a gift certificate from Jen Cowsar Photography or Captured Moments by Kim. Does she already have plenty of pictures? If so, then give her a gift certificate from Photo Candy and she can have one of her precious pictures pimped!
9. Are you buying for someone who refuses to accept gifts for herself? Has she made you swear to not give her a gift? Well then, how about giving her a gift that isn’t necessarily for her, but in the long run, can help her stay sane? Shopping Cart Covers for Babies help keep those nasty germs away which in turn, gives mom the ability to worry a bit less about her little one.
10. Give mom the ultimate gift. Some time to herself!!! Massage Unlimited offers a variety of services that is sure to help mom relax and unwind.
