Looking for something special to give to your mother on Mother's Day, but don't want to break the bank? Amy Nebens and Jara Negrin, founders of Poshmom.com and authors of “Living the Posh Mom Life,” share alternative twists on the traditional Mother's Day gift.

Chocolate    
Gayle's Miracles Chocolates, $15/Box; Rising Dough Cookies, $24
Present her with a plateful of chocolate truffles by Gayle's Miracles. Lighter, with only one gram of fat each, but equally decadent. If she's crazy for cookies, introduce her to yummy but low-cal batch of Rising Dough's. There's a gingerbread cookie decorated for Mother's Day but she'll appreciate their chocolate chip, cranberry raisin or any of the eight types of outrageously good cookies they make and deliver on Mother's Day and throughout the year. 

Perfume
Le Labo perfume, $45—$180
Try a fresh approach with Le Labo. The ten natural fragrances—no funky combinations—are made to order. The oils and alcohols are only mixed once an order is placed, and this up-to-the minute formulation keeps the concotion very fresh. The retro bottle's label is printed with her name or a term of endearment you choose and dated, so don't order too late or she'll know it was a last-minute thing! With every spritz or dab she'll think of your special sentiments.

Jewelry
Lizzie Scheck Heart & Soul Necklace, $390; Lizzie Scheck Best Mom Necklace, $685; Jennifer Meyer Lucky Number Key Necklace, $625
Necklaces from hip, new designers that still let her get dolled up and bring on a bit of bling to her jeans and tee uniform. Jen Meyers, a new mom herself, has a line of charm necklaces with diamond encrusted keys with a number denoting how many kids she has. Celebs have been spotted wearing them, and surprisingly they won't break the bank. If her jewelry tastes tend more toward whimsical, here's one you can credit the kids for picking out: a Best Mom charm by mom Lizzie Sheck set on a blue, pink or red enamel heart background. If she's the delicate type, Lizzie Scheck also has this sweet but subtle heart and soul charm that Sarah Jessica Parker sports. You can even engrave kid's and your initials on the back.

Agenda/PDA
Mom Agenda Desktop, $42; Mom Agenda Portfolio, $119.50; Blackberry Pearl, $199
Instead of getting her another calendar to tack up to the wall, we love the mom agenda. It comes in a few sizes and the silk shantung cover comes in a bunch of gorgeous colors. It's practical too; there is a lot of room for her to-do's, plus spots every day to pencil in her kids' schedules. Or, if she's not the type to splurge for a designer bag, get her a designer organizer. The details will make her feel posh, and with the invent of filler papers it will last her more than the one season her bag would. 

If she tends to be more tech-y, indulge her with the newest PDA, like the trendy Motorola black jack. It's sleek, easy to use, and she'll never forget a pickup, playdate, or date night with you.
