Mother's Day gifts: Love this site, so will Mom

By Kavita Varma-White April 17, 2008 12:24 PM

Bookmark wishingfish.com and you’ll be one step ahead when it comes to shopping for clever, off-the-beaten-path gifts for every occasion.

With Mother’s Day coming up, we found lots of options for all types of moms. And while we know Mom is worth a fortune, trust us, she’ll be delighted with these $10-and-under finds.

Does she love ... the beach? Give her a Day at the Beach she can enjoy even when she’s working at her desk. The kit has everything you need to rest and relax at the beach -- including white sand, sandals, sea shells, a beach chair, beach umbrella, beach ball and floating ring.

Does she love ... to grow things? Give her the Heart Garden, where she can plant and grow a heart filled with thyme.

Does she love ... to travel? Give her some sassy Luggage Tags With Attitude, a set of six playful tags with sayings like “Careful: my shoes are inside.” Or “I'm pretty sure this isn't your bag ” or “Nothing worth stealing in here.”

Does she love ... to wash the dishes? (Of course she doesn’t, but she does it anyway.) Give her the Bubble Scrubber, an ingenious scrubbing brush that has a built in bubble blower for hours of cleaning fun. Better yet, give her the day off and do the dishes for her.
