Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

So Mom already has a panini press, an automatic espresso maker, an electric rotisserie and a sparkling water maker. What’s left on the Mother’s Day gift list? Appeal to her animal-loving nature if she has a pet (or pets) she adores.

1. Eye pillows in the shape of her favorite animal: Look for those filled with flax seed, chamomile and lavender for their relaxation qualities, for alleviating headaches and soothing puffy eyes.

2. Heatable and freezable slippers: Some have inserts that can be placed in the microwave for warmth or chilled in the freezer to reduce swelling and sooth swollen or overworked feet. Look for those in animal prints or comfy animal shapes.

3. Breed-specific luggage tags: No longer a luxury item, luggage tags are a must for finding your own suitcase in an airport carousel of chaos. Look for breed-specific tags that hold identification. Easy to spot and easy to love.

4. Key chains close to her heart: These are easy to find in dog, cat, bird shapes. Or look for bone shapes, heart shapes or those with sayings such as “I (heart) my dog” or “best in show.” Every Mom can use an extra set of keys.

5. Pet-themed tote bags: Mothers everywhere need help carrying their load. Look for recycled reusable totes with pet logos or patterns.

6. Never too many T-shirts: Especially when it’s an oversized one Mom can sleep in. Check out your favorite gift or pet shop for the T-shirt that speaks your mother’s pet language. Look for those where a portion of the price is donated to animal causes, like www.nolacitybark.org to benefit City Park’s leash-free dog park to be completed this fall.

7. Gift with the most charm: Pet charms that can be attached to a key ring, a chain to wear as a necklace or even a zipper on a jacket are small gifts with a big message
