    Great list! Also see Red Ants Pants for American-made work, woman-owned and run and inspired, sizes for all shapes. They are so sturdy and comfortable! I just got my first pair a few months ago and they are just the best. Any pants company that also sells books wins my vote! Their website is redantspants.com. Thank you for these great ideas that don't hurt my teeth!

    Thanks for the suggestions; it's tough to shop for parents, because I never know what they want, especially since they say I don't have to get them anything (though I know they do want me to get them something).

    What a refreshingly great collection of gift ideas ! I'd love pretty much any of these things. So feminine AND useful. Thanks. Jane, Australia.

    Thank you so much for including some "non-conventional" mother's day gifts! šŸ™‚ It's really refreshing to see more than perfume and fashion books (like the big stores seem to suggest). I can actually imagine my mother enjoying some of these suggestions. šŸ™‚

    I love this list so much! None of the typical lists are ever very useful to me or to others in my family, and the beer book and screwdrivers are gifts I wouldn't mind getting!
