Mother's Day Gifts: A (gift) basket of love

By Charlyne Varkonyi Schaub May 7, 2008 11:00 AM

Is your mom hard to buy for? Mine sure was. And the gift card cop out isn't something you can do for mom with good conscience.

One cool alternative is a gift basket geared to her interests.

Have a gourmet mom? How about a gift basket filled with crackers, cheese, biscuits, nuts, dipping oil, bruschetta bites, sweet pears, chocolate covered grapes, wine wafers and a bottle of wine? The price? $125.

Or does your busy mom just need a push to relax? Get her a gift basket filled with bath soaps, body lotion, a body brush, shower mitt, scented candle, tea and cookies? The price? $55.

Check out these and more at bocagiftbaskets.com. Boca Gifts Baskets is located at 940 Clint Moore Road, Boca Raton, 561-994-8495.
