Music
Groove Gurus, $50/Hour; iPod Shuffle, $79; iPod 30G, $249
For a mom who loves music, don't turn to a few new CD's to satisfy her. Pamper her this Mother's Day with her own music stylists. The experts at the Groove Gurus will have you fill out a survey and then will compile a playlist, purchase the music, and download it to her ipod or other PDA. If she's all about her music when she's exercising, get her this Nike shoe with an iPod built right into the heel.

Overnight Trip
Lambertson Truex Beach Bag, $445
A first instinct for a man is to take his wife for a Mother's Day brunch or dinner with the kids and you still should. But as a gift for Mother's Day, send her packing for a much needed trip to spend some time with her friends. It may be an overnighter to a spa if she needs some R & R, or to a city that's a shopping mecca if she would thrilled to browse without pushing a stroller. Clue her in to your surprise by packing a bag with all the necessities for her specific trip—like this great beach bag for a mom who lives to put her toes in the sand. Put in all the necessities like this self-tanner so she won't be ghostly in the sun. If you know that if she was on a deserted island she'd still want her mascara, make sure to pack a waterproof one. Then add the newest style sunglasses, a cute suit, and she's off in style.

Charity Checks
Oversized Charity Check
If you see her volunteering on every committee from school carnival to hurricane relief, you know she'd be happier seeing the money you would have spent on a gift going to help others. Don't feel the pressure of figuring just which charity is most pulling at her heartstrings at the moment. If you donate to an organization called Charity Checks you get a taxable donation and she gets a certificate to choose just where the money goes from more than 800,000 IRS-approved charities. Upon her decision, Charity Checks will then send your donation to that organization.
