Mother's Day Ideas

Hopefully, this week, someone you love is putting his/her mind to work on how to best indulge YOU -- his/her favorite mommy or mommy-to-be -- for Mother's Day. Or, as it works in our world here, more than likely, the someones in your life are going to find Mother's Day "snuck up" on them when the weekend rolls around.

To help nudge the process forward, we've put together a list of helpful hints for treating a favorite pregger or new mommy -- some not so obvious gift ideas! Now, all you need to do is forward it to your family and friends. We'll be happy take it from there.

• BEBE AU LAIT & HOOTER HIDERS Nursing Covers & Gift Sets: in beautiful & fun prints, these make the perfect small gift for anyone nursing or planning to do so. Also, for the eco-friendly approach, check out BAMBOO FOR TWO nursing covers, too!

• STORKSAK Diaper Bags: Who says your diaper bag has to look like a diaper bag? It should be just as stylish as you are. Storksak makes it easy.

• JEANS! What pregnant woman doesn't crave a pair of fabulous and comfortable jeans? The options these days are so numerous. Try skinny or "jeggings" (jean leggings) under all of summer's flowy tops & tunics. Or, a great pair of bootcut or straight leg under a favorite tee or tank. Look for white ones, too -- a summer staple in our books! Great fitting lines: PAIGE PREMIUM, MATERNAL AMERICA, JAMES JEANS, LILAC, and OLIAN/ELLY B.

Great lines: MATERNAL AMERICA, TBAGS, NOTICE, OLIAN, LILAC, and JULES + JIM.
