Fairlane Town center offers marvelous mother's day gift ideas

Mom. Mother. Mommy. No matter what you call her, she is a huge part of your life. And although it took over forty years for the holiday to catch on nationally, Mother's Day has become an important day to most Americans - almost 98 percent of consumers celebrate the holiday, at least according to Hallmark. With Mother9s Day quickly approaching - on Sunday, May 12 - Fairlane Town Center offers a lovely list of gift suggestions for deserving women everywhere:

Cooks Collection - If Mom has a hand in every dish that comes out of the kitchen, give her hands the pampering they deserve. A sleek chrome basket filled with Cooks soothing milk and vitamin-enriched hand lotion, antibacterial hand wash, a set of three handmade vegetable-based soaps (in rosemary and juniper, orange peel and cinnamon stick scents) and two cotton terry wash cloths. (Crabtree & Evelyn - $38)

Glowing Candle Lamp-- Tell her she's the light of your life with this beautiful "lamp." The 22-ounce jar candle comes in various scents including Clean Cotton, Green Grass, and Hydrangea. Glass or ceramic lamp shades in various colors and styles top the candle and complete the ensemble. Candles and shades sold seperately. (Yankee Candle Co. - $20-$-35)

Mother's Day Ballotin - Just like your Mom, this box of chocolates is beautiful inside and out. Featuring Godiva9s new assortment of milk, dark and ivory pieces, the signature gold box is adorned with a cluster of spring hydrangea bouquet and pale lavender ribbon with hints of green and blue. (Godiva Chocolatier - $12-$37)

"Mother" Ring - Encircle her finger with a twinkling "thank you." This 14-carat white or yellow gold ring spells out the word "mother" in cursive. Underneath the letters, there is room for the birthstones of Mom or her children. (M.J. Diamonds - $100-$200)

The Ultimate Rose Experience - Mom is a goddess, so why not make her feel like one? While resting on a bed of roses, she will enjoy a dry-brush exfoliation to stimulate and rejuvenate her skin, an anti-aging, vitamin-rich sea salt skin polisher and warm paraffin treatment, a one-hour, full-body massage, an anti-aging paraffin-mask facial and a rose pedicure. Mom also receives a dozen roses and assorted chocolates. (Calla Victoria Spa - $200)

Fairlane Town Center Gift Certificates - Give Mom the power to choose her own amazing gift. Beauty and health items, electronics, gourmet snacks, home accessories, luggage, purses, watches and more are available. Valid at any retailer or restaurant at the center, including the Star Fairlane. Available at the Main Information Desk.

Fairlane Town Center has sweetened the pot with an attractive incentive offer: from now until June 30th, shoppers receive a free Victoria's Secret Garden gift set with the purchase of $75 in gift certificates. It's just one more reason to honor Mom.

And don't forget the most important gift of all - the gift of words. So why wait? Tell her you love her today.
