Gifts for Her

No self-respecting college graduate will turn down a cash gift, but thoughtful gift-givers might want to pick a college graduation gift that's a little more personalized—but still just as useful.

It's no secret that sometimes the hardest person to shop for is also one of the most special: your mom. That's why whenever we're in doubt or can't find that perfect gift for her birthday or Mother's Day, we look to books. (They're good for much more than inspiring Mother's Day quotes.) Whether your mom has only a few precious minutes a week to read, she devotes time every day to devour the latest bestseller, or you're constantly exchanging mother-daughter books, there are plenty of thoughtful options for books for mom this Mother's Day. RELATED: Mother's Day Gift Ideas When trying to choose a book, remember that being a mom is a lot of hard work: Treat her to some uninterrupted me-time to put up her feet and dive into a new read. If you're lucky, she'll let you read her new novel or hilarious autobiography once she's finished.
