ParentWish: Last-Minute Mom's Day Gift Guide

Welcome to ParentWish, a new monthly feature for stuff we want ... and wish we had! And what more fitting holiday to debut it than Mother's Day.

Yeah, just in case you haven't noticed the subtle (MOTHER'S DAY MOTHER'S DAY) hints all over the media, Mother's Day is approaching rather rapidly. (Psst, it's this Sunday!)

Let's be honest, many of you haven't bought your Mother's Day gifts yet, have you (including the one for yourself)? Oh, don't be shy. No need to be ashamed, dear readers. You're used to thriving under pressure.

Well, never fear! We're here with 10 great Mother's Day gifts for all sorts of different moms. However, you better hurry. Time has officially become the enemy. Ready, set, GO!


ParentWish: For the Sporty Mom

Item: Nike + iPod Sports Kit
Price: $29.00
Why we love it: One less item to strap on our body while working out.
Where to buy it: Apple Store

Is the mother in your life looking to start a new workout regimen? Is she ready to bid adieu to those pesky pregnancy pounds? Well, insert this wireless sensor inside a Nike+ shoe, and get ready to be amazed. As she runs or walks, the sensor sends information to her iPod nano, tracking time, distance, pace, and calories burned. It even has a virtual coach, alerting her to milestones throughout the workout.

ParentWish: For the Sporty Mom

Item: Lululemon Reverse Groove Pant
Price: $86.00
Why we love it: Hands down, these pants make your derriere look amazing.
Where to buy it: Find a Lululemon store here.

We can't begin to tell you how many women sing the praises of these exercise pants. Whether you are practicing the Downward Dog or running errands around town, these pants will become your go-to option. Worth every penny.


ParentWish: For the Tech-Savvy Mom

Item: Sony 17-in-1 External USB Memory Card Reader
Price: $31.99
Why we love it: Say goodbye to the USB cord clutter. This is organization at its best.
Where to buy it: Circuit City

With Sony's card reader, tangled USB cords will be a thing of the past. Supporting 17 card formats, moms can pop the memory card straight from their camera and/or personal device into the reader and enjoy a much quicker transfer. Because time is of the essence, yes?

ParentWish: For the Tech-Savvy Mom

Item: LeSportsac Laptop Sleeve
Price: $39.00
Why we love it: Colorful, clean lines. A chic home for one of tech-savvy mom's most utilized possessions.
Where to buy it: Nordstrom

The cheerful colors of this laptop sleeve will make any mom a happy camper. (Not to mention the hand-washable nylon, which is destined to be covered in some sort of baby creation.) If stripes aren't your cup of tea, LeSportsac has several different options available.

ParentWish: For the Fashionista Mom

Item: Refined Silk Cashmere Wrap
Price: $75.00
Why we love it: Perfect year-round weight that drapes beautifully on a stylish mom's shoulders.
Where to buy it: J. Crew

We speak from personal experience when we say this is The Perfect Wrap. Worn as a full shawl or gathered as a neck scarf, this beautiful silk-cashmere accessory will take the mother in you life through all four seasons. Several colors available at J. Crew.

ParentWish: For the Fashionista Mom

Item: Optical Weave Travel Wallet
Price: $175.00
Why we love it: Securely holds everything she needs in a fabulous gold package.
Where to buy it: Cole Haan

We're huge fans of zippered wallets, perfect for holding random receipts and old grocery lists that might otherwise be scattered around who knows where. This beautiful travel wallet by Cole Haan is eye-catching and iconic in a metallic lambskin weave with custom brushed brass hardware. If gold isn't your thing, several other colors are available at Cole Haan's website.

ParentWish: For the Beauty Queen Mom


Item: Breakfast in Bed Shower Trio
Price: $30.00
Why we love it: This set will probably smell a lot better than your husband's actual breakfast in bed attempts.
Where to buy it: Philosophy and most major department stores.

This set by Philosophy would be a fantastic addition to a real breakfast in bed on Mother's Day. As most moms will attest, we don't have much time to sleep in and enjoy a leisurely breakfast every morning, but these decadent scents would definitely start our day on a pleasurable note. Café au lait, Belgian waffles and fresh cream? Let's just hope we don't guzzle the contents of these bottles instead.



ParentWish: For the Beauty Queen Mom


Item: Bare Escentuals Color Collection
Price: $49.00
Why we love it: Everything she needs to accentuate her natural beauty in one package. Sign me up.
Where to buy it: Sephora

This eight-piece collection is designed to perfectly complement a woman's complexion and bring out the natural beauty of her eyes, cheeks, and lips. (Now, that is something these mama's like to hear!) These rich shades with expert brushes are perfect for the mother in your life.
