Spoil Mom with a deluxe spa gift basket. We've got baskets with all kinds of personal care products, from shampoos and conditioners to body washes and facial scrubs. The one shown here comes with soaps, bath salts, body lotion, bubble bath, shower gel, slippers, potpourri, and more. More gift baskets.

Available in several different colors, the JBL OnStage Micro is an iPod speaker that's small in size but big in sound. It works with most iPods as well as other audio sources, thanks to the stereo mini jack. And it's small enough to take from room to room, or even on the road. More iPod speakers.

Add some color to Mom's kitchen with a set of Rio light glasses. Choose martini, champagne, or wine glasses. Each set comes with 6 glasses, each in a different color. The colors start at the stem and fade to clear so they don't change the color of your drink. And with all the different colors, guests will easily remember which glass is theirs.

Patent leather is big this spring and so are clutch purses. Combine both trends with a Franco Sarto Diva clutch. We're not saying your Mom's a diva. We just like these bags. They're big enough to hold all the essentials, yet small enough that they won't cause Mom any back pain. Choose pink, white, yellow, or black. More Franco Sarto handbags.

Rockport shoes are so sturdy and comfortable, people have run the New York City marathon - and even climbed Mount Kilimanjaro - in them. Not that we're suggesting you do either in the Half Tide thong sandal. It's more for the pool, the beach, and warm weather relaxing. But unlike drug store flip-flops, the Half Tide provides lots of support, cushioning, and traction, and it's machine washable. Choose from several different colors. More Rockport sandals.

A diamond initial pendant is a small, personal, shiny gift that she can wear every day. Choose yellow or white gold. See all initial pendants.

Mom can print her own photos with the Canon Pixma iP3500. It doesn't have a slot for memory cards, but it does have a PictBridge USB port, which means she can connect her camera directly to the printer to print (no computer required), and it lets her print wirelessly from her infrared-enabled cell phone. Two paper trays store photo paper and regular paper, and print quality is impressive for both photos and regular documents. Best of all, you can get the Pixma for less than $65. More photo printers.

Our mothers have this thing about moth balls. All wool and winter items get packed away every spring, covered in what seems like a metric ton of moth balls. And no amount of "airing out" ever gets rid of that smell. So we like the idea of washable wool blankets. Even if Mom drowns them in moth balls, we can wash out the smell when we go home for the holidays. See also: Fleece blankets.

If Mom's still using disposable cameras, ease her gently into the digital world with the Kodak EasyShare C613 camera. It's nothing fancy, but think of it as Mom learning to drive on a Ford, not a Ferrari. The easy-to-use 6-megapixel C613 gets the job done nicely - it has plenty of resolution, a bright display, 3x optical zoom, and 16 different scene modes - so Mom can have fun while learning the basics. You can get her something more advanced next year.

Have you seen the episode of Samantha Brown where she goes to Geneva, home of watches that cost tens of thousands of dollars? We think it's insane to spend that kind of money on a watch. Your mother probably does too. Better to give Mom a pretty and affordable Anne Klein watch and put your extra cash into a savings account, so one day you can take Mom to Geneva and laugh at all the silly rich people.
