Time is running out to get your mom something for Mother's Day.  My mom lives in San Angelo, so I'm limited as to what I can do.  I usually am very unoriginal and send flowers, which she likes.  But here are some better gift ideas for the woman that brought you up!

    A New Watch

    That's a gift idea that won't break your wallet.  You can go from around $40 on up to however much you'd like to spend.

    A Leather Clutch

    Okay, I've heard ladies talk about clutches before and I had to look it up to see what it is.  It's smaller than a purse but larger than a wallet.  Say your mom likes to go to the theater or out to eat, this lets her carry her essentials without having to carry a heavy purse.

    Wine

    If your mom likes wine, this is an excellent gift!  You might even enroll her in a wine-of-the-month club.  They send her a bottle or two every month!   Some of the clubs even send recipes for food suggestions to go with the wines they send.

    A Kindle

    If your mom likes to read, you might try to bring her into the 21st Century with a tablet reader.  Once you show her how easy it is to download her favorite author's books instantly, she'll be hooked!

    A Bluetooth Speaker

    If your mom likes music and has a smartphone, you can show her how to listen to her favorite songs in any room of the house (or outside).

    Gardening Tools

    If your mom putters around in the yard, how about some new tools.  I bet the ones she has are rusty and dull.  This is a gift that any mom-gardener can really use!

    Home Décor Items.

    A new jewelry box, some nice candles, cute gift baskets with spa items or picture frames (even better, picture frames with photos of your family).

    Your Time

    Take her to brunch, go to church, enjoy a movie, visit a spa to get facials and massages, play cards, spend the afternoon helping her in the yard, if she doesn't drive, offer to take her to a friend's house to visit.  You mom will like doing just about anything to spend some time with you!
