The mother of all gift lists
She gave you a million things. Now it's your turn. Here are some suggestions.
From Marmee to Vivi
Books are always a good gift choice. New books ideal for Mother's Day were featured on Sunday in the Times' book pages. Check them out on www.sptimes.com. Moms with a taste for the tried and true might appreciate these suggestions:
Moms with attitude
Forget Donna Reed. Today's TV mothers -- though still caring and nurturing -- are bolder, smarter and tougher.
Mother's Day specials
Some places offer special Mother's Day deals. See Get Away calendar for hours, admission prices and other details:
Catch a movie with mom
"M" is for the movies that she showed me. "O" is for the others I sneaked by her. "T" is for the theaters we visited, "H" is for the home where we returned, "E" is for everything I owe her and "R" is suitable only for viewers over 17 unless accompanied by parents, hopefully ones who care as much as mine.
