ReplyWorst: I'm one of those weird people that hates massages. But every year, my mother gives me a gift card for a massage at a local spa. I always give it to my husband.

ReplyFor the foodie on your list, buy an apron (Pier 1 has cute vintage-style aprons) and put a gift card to Let's Dish or Saga Hill Cooking School in the apron pocket. For my 9-year old who likes to bake, I put in a note that says she gets to prepare a family dinner of her choosing. (I get to do clean-up.)

ReplyHere's a meaningful gift that won't cost you a thing: give a Joy Jar. Fill a glass canning jar with paper strips that have comments about the recipient on them. My kids made a Joy Jar for Grandma and they wrote things like "I like it when you do my hair" and "You make the best root beer floats" on strips of green and red paper.

ReplyYou can't go wrong at the General Store of Minnetonka. I also like small boutiques. A new shop recently opened in Long Lake called Yofi Boutique. Cute stuff for women and girls. I got my daughter some locker decor there.

ReplyAll I ask for on Mother's Day is for each child to memorize a poem of their choice for me. One year, my 8 year old recited Shakespeare!

ReplyMs Anthony didn't report her daughter missing for weeks, got a tattoo, her car reeked of a decomposed body..it is shocking. But, I heard these things in the media, rather than listening to evidence in a courtroom. That's the job of the jury. They've spoken and it's time to move on.

I like thrift shops, and have found inexpensive "pre-owned" toys, books and puzzles for the kids at Once Upon a Child in Minnetonka and Resale 101 in Plymouth (the proceeds at Resale 101 help Interfaith Outreach programs!)
