You've got just over three weeks to find a gift for that special lady in your life—Mother's Day is May 12th. But instead of thinking of her as the mom to whom you owe a phone call, think of her as an actual person. Is she the type of woman who appreciates the indulgence of a quality hand cream or fluffy robe? Or the nostalgic vibes of a cutting board etched with her mother's handwriting? Does she, like so many women, adore (yet never treats herself to) beautiful flowers? The key is to think of the way she lives and then find something that would suit her. An item that'd she'd get actual use out of, or even better, use up entirely. Like a high-end beauty product or flowers. Herewith, a few well-vetted suggestions.
