Mother’s Day is upon us, and while Mom might have said she
loved the gift certificate for a carpet cleaning you got her last year,
it’s time to up the ante and get her something she might actually want.
Get her something that lets her know how much you care, how much you
appreciate everything she’s done since the 26 hours of hard labor it
took to bring you into this world. If she’s a car
mom, any of these gifts will do nicely, and help assuage the guilt of
the carpet-cleaning gift certificate from last Mother’s Day.
10. Oreck car vac
Price: $39.99 at http://www.oreck.com/Car-Vac
Chances are, if Mom has little kids, there are Goldfish ground into her floorboards and Cheerios in every crevice imaginable. This Oreck Car Vac is ideal for crumb removal of all sorts, and while normally an appliance is a horrible gift for Mother’s Day, this is an exception.
9. Jonathan Adler travel mug
Price: $16.99 at http://www.modcloth.com/shop/kitchen-decor/energy-roost-travel-mug
Let Mom know she rules the roost with this brightly colored and uber-portable travel mug. It’s BPA, lead and phthalate-free and has a rubber bottom (so it stays put) and a slider tab on the lid (to prevent spills).
8. Solar travel charger
Price: $35 at http://www.modcloth.com/shop/mediaaccessories/sunny-is-power-solar-travel-charger
Mom drives a Prius because she wants to go green,
so she feels a tiny twinge of guilt every time she plugs her iPhone
into a power outlet to charge it. Solution? This handy little solar
powered battery charger, perfect for eco-conscious moms on the go.
7. State heart bumper sticker
Price: $4 at http://www.heartsticker.com/
Whether Mom hails from Alabama or Wyoming or somewhere in between, there’s a state heart sticker she can affix to her bumper to show her love. These stickers are vibrant and long-lasting, sure to stick to her bumper ‘til she trades in her car.
6. Momiji air freshener
Price: $2.99 at http://www.perpetualkid.com/bff-momiji-air-freshener.aspx
We’re certainly not suggesting that this cheap (but adorable) air freshener would be an ideal gift on its own, but as part of a larger car-themed Mother’s Day gift, it would be quite nice. If Mom’s not a fan of tutti-frutti scent, no worries — there are two other scents available.
5. SiriusXM subscription
Price: $14.49 per month at http://www.siriusxm.com/keeplistening
Mom’s very tired of listening to that Disney soundtrack that’s been in her CD player for the past year or so. Why not treat her to a month of SiriusXM radio, so she can listen to what she likes? A quick call to tech support may even provide a way to block Barry Manilow, if need be.
4. Silver valet key ring
Price: $14.99 at http://www.thingsremembered.com/product/Silver-Valet-Key-Chain/158908.uts
Not that Mom uses valet all that often, but this key ring would still make a marvelous Mother’s Day gift. Engrave it with her initials, or with those three little letters that mean so much, “Mom.”
3. Griffin hands-free window mount for iPhone
Price: $29.95 at http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1580ZM/A/Griffin-Window-Mount-Handsfree
No one needs more distractions on the road,
so help Mom go safely hands-free with this window or dash-mount iPhone
carrier. It’s made of sturdy plastic and plays through her car’s AUX-In
port.
2. Betsey Johnson aviator sunglasses
Price: $60 at http://www.zappos.com/product/7939393/color/559
These pink-hued aviator shades are the ideal gift for a fashionista Mom. They provide UV protection, and feature darling hearts on each arm tip.
1. Tiffany Keys beaded heart key pendant
Price: $275 at http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?fromGrid=1&sku=GRP04519&mcat=148204&cid=573050&search_params=s+5-p+5-c+573050-r+-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+
You may have lost Mom’s car keys, but (corny pun alert) you found the key to her heart. There’s no mother in history that wouldn’t love a Mother’s Day gift in a trademark turquoise Tiffany box.
