Mother’s Day is May 11, 2008. Are you ready with a gift in hand? If not maybe these ideas will help you out. I will admit I was not quite sure what to give my own mom for Mother’s Day this year. I ended up creating a goody box at Sephora and shipping it to her. I focused on items that I enjoy and that I knew she’d never buy herself like whipped body butter and a metallic blue case with 5 makeup brushes included. I also purchased a summery beauty palette that I thought would work well for her vacation next week so I hope it looks as good in person as it did online!
But if beauty items aren’t her thing or maybe you can’t make it to the store for a last minute gift then think about possible online shopping sprees tomorrow afternoon. Many online sites are running specials this weekend for Mother’s Day with free shipping or a % off the total order.
One last reminder for this Mother’s Day: don’t forget your mom-to-be! With the weather changing and new fashions arriving in the stores daily maternity clothes would be an excellent option along with a much needed foot massage/pedicure I’m sure.
Well I hope you all have a fabulous Mother’s Day tomorrow and if you haven’t finished your shopping you better start moving!

Great ideas. I love the makeup brush case. I need to find a way to carry my bare minerals brushes for a reasonable price.

Why is it that our mom’s don’t treat themselves? I always buy my mom the goodies that she wouldn’t splurge on for herself too. I agree, Sephora is a great place for a goody bag.
UNRELATED NOTE: I love the header on your blog

I know Candace. I find that my mom usually just sticks to what works and doesn’t branch out unless I buy her something fun like the makeup palette above and then it becomes a travel staple for her. lol
