1. For The Old-School Mom

You know that mom that says she wants nothing and she’s just happy if you’re happy? Well, unless she’s not a drinker at all, here’s a secret. Most moms love wine. It’s a great way to relax and for moms who love to cook, red or white wines go with just about any meal. But which should you choose? Buy both and don’t go cheap, but you can get a quality wine for less than $20.

2. For The ‘Fancy’ Mom

Are her nails and toes always tight? Well, nails on fleek cost. If your mom loves to get her mani/pedi on, but times are tight, get her an at-home gel manicure kit. Some don’t even need U/V light and have a vast variety of color choices. Head to your local beauty supply store or http://www.sallyhansen.com. Prices range from $50-100.

3. For The ‘Forty-Fit’ Mom

If you’re mom is 40 or more and still looks like she’s your older sister, chances are she gets it in in the gym on a regular basis. The jury is out on the new Apple watches so far, but one of their best features is the fitness applications. They can track pace and heart rate and some of their built-in options don’t require you to have your phone with you. That’s great for runners and gym rats. http://www.apple.com From $349

4. The ‘Globetrotter’ Mom

Does your mother have a passport that has had to have pages replaced? Is her home full of all the things she’s collected on her travels around the country…and the world? If so, an airline gift card, which your mom can use toward the purchase of airline tickets, is a great idea. Several airlines offer them in different denominations; just check to make sure they don’t have an expiration date.

5. The ‘Type A’ Mom

Does your mom always have so many projects going on she needs her own caffeine drip to stay energized? Can you not remember the last time you saw her without a Starbucks cup in her hand or her car’s cupholder? If so, save her time and money with a Keurig coffeemaker that can also make tea and hot chocolate. Various programmable models are available big box retailers, starting around $90.

6. The ‘Fabulous Face’ Mom

7. The ‘That’s My Song’ Mom

Does your mother love music? Does she have a bigger iTunes library than you do? If so, get her a Bose Soundlink speaker, portable enough to take the music wherever she goes and loud enough to dance when no one’s watching at home. Despite it’s desktop size, It’s a Bluetooth speaker with great sound and it even comes in four colors. http://www.bose.com or any sound/big box retailer. $129

To make her happy, pick up one of the brand new Samsung curved 4D HD TV’s. You don’t really need 4D HD yet, but when it catches up to the technology, Grandmom will be ahead of the game. Plus they look great. $500 and up, big box retailers.
