10. SOUNDBITE (English) Holly Quartaro, Fashion & Lifestyle Director of Galleria Dallas:
“I think it's important to think about who your mom is and what she might like. So, for instance, if she does yoga, a yoga mat from Lululemon is a great idea. If she is headed to the beach this summer or likes to be outside, maybe a beach bag from Tommy Bahama. And of course, all moms like to be spoiled. So something like she can have a spa day at home with beauty items from Nordstrom.”
11. Various of Dyson Airwrap
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Holly Quartaro, Fashion & Lifestyle Director of Galleria Dallas:
“If you want to get mom something you know she'll love. Get her something personal. Fossil is a great place to go for that because they can personalize any of their items in the store on site so you can have it done in the same day you purchased the item.”
13. Various of gifts being set up inside Lush store
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Holly Quartaro, Fashion & Lifestyle Director of Galleria Dallas:
“Whether you choose a handbag or a watch like I'm wearing. All of these can be personalized either by engraving or embossing them right there in the store.”
15. Various of gifts being wrapped inside Lush store
16. SOUNDBITE (English) Holly Quartaro, Fashion & Lifestyle Director of Galleria Dallas:
“Another great beauty tool that is a good gift for mom is a Dyson Air Wrap. She can actually get a blow out quality hairstyle at home every day.”
17. Various of handbags on display
18. SOUNDBITE (English) Holly Quartaro, Fashion & Lifestyle Director of Galleria Dallas:
“Another great gift for a mom are bath goodies from Lush. And what I love about Lush is they have pre wrapped gifts that you can just grab and go. All of mom's favorites. They're wrapped in Mother's Day wrapping paper or they can wrap them right there on site for you.”
19. Various of Lush store employee preparing to wrap gift

“And if you really don't know what to get, mom, jewelry, fragrances, and handbags are always a safe bet.”

STORYLINE:
Not all moms are the same. They like and do different things. Some, gasp, don't love the idea of flowers and chocolates for Mother's Day, which is May 12.
Consider these alternative gifts, many based on testimonials from actual moms.
LET HER CLAIM THE DAY
Mother’s Day is usually about togetherness. What if mom wants to go it alone? Easier said than done for some families. If doable, send her somewhere on the actual day, rather than a future one, where for 24 hours her every need and desire will be anticipate and met. Massage, delicious food, alone time in a calming, private outdoor spot by a creek. No one asking her for a single thing. A slice of heaven.
