Child Artwork Jewelry
MOTHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE Remember the picture of your mom you drew when you were six? The one she still has pinned to the side of her fridge? Commission a piece of jewelry based on your childhood masterpiece. The artist uses sterling silver to fashion sentimental brooches, pendants, tie tacks, and more.

Spicelab
MOTHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE Admittedly, some of mom’s dinners could qualify as science experiments. Spicelab mounts her seasonings on the wall – freeing up cabinet space, and making spices easily accessible. Frames available in nine different colors. Test tubes come filled with rosemary, fennel seeds, crushed chili peppers, minced garlic, coriander, basil, oregano, and ammonium nitrate. (Kidding! I kid.)

Business Card File
MOTHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE A card from the dentist, the contractor, the twelve contacts from a networking event, and one from the annoyingly efficient mom who had play-date calling cards printed for her toddler – all of them are smashed in the bottom of mom’s behemoth purse. Who has time to plug that information into an address book? This spare, matte aluminum box lets her organize business cards by simply dropping them in, no further effort required. Now she has time for a cocktail.

TomTom ONE Portable GPS Vehicle Navigation System
MOTHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE When you give your mom freeway directions, does she ask you to say it again without the “North/South part?” Does she get lost three blocks from home? Yeah. Me too. A friend of ours is a user interface specialist who researched and compared all the popular navigation systems for a client. He eventually bought this one for his folks, so I got one too. TomTom has changed my life, and its touch-screen interface is about as straightforward as an ATM machine. It not only navigates for you, but when you take a wrong turn, it gets you back on track. Go in on one with your siblings, and you’ll never have to give your mom directions again.

Certificates range in price from $5 to $200, and they’re good for any vendor who accepts payments via Paypal.
