This gives Mom an excuse to put her feet up for the remainder of Mother's Day (and to dare anyone to bother her).

Container Idea:

A magazine rack. So she can clear the coffee table and really put her feet up.

Contents Ideas:

The New York Times Daily Crossword Puzzles book. Because one puzzle per Sunday is never enough.

Slippers. For cushioned padding around the house.

Pajamas.

Bundle of pencils. For solving puzzles and making lists of the things she didn't do on Sunday.

Tea cup and loose tea.

Journals. To record loving thoughts about you, or observations on the birds she spotted out the window, or the number of times your father interrupted her.
