Mother's Day is right around the corner! Instead of just treating Mom to the usual card and Sunday brunch, why not plan a gift or activity that appeals to her Sun sign? There's no better way to pay tribute to the woman who brought you into this world.
Aries Mom (March 21 to April 19)
Women born under this sign are spunky, active, and assertive. Forget the flowers and candy... she'd rather have top-quality running shoes or a mountain bike. Rams love personalized gifts, too; a gym bag embossed with her name or initials is sure to make her smile. If you'd like to do something special for her, take her to the golf range or plan a vigorous hike.
Taurus Mom (April 20 to May 20)
If your mother was born under this sign, she has a deep love of luxury. Dinner at a gourmet restaurant or a spa treatment will put her in seventh heaven. Bulls are extremely sensual, too, and love tactile gifts. A faux fur blanket or a quilted satin bed jacket are good possibilities. Lush plants will also appeal to this nature-loving mom.
Gemini Mom (May 21 to June 20)
Gemini moms are information mongers – they want to know the who, what and why of everything. A fancy new cell phone will keep her connected to her nearest and dearest, while an adult education class will provide plenty of intellectual stimulation. A leather-bound journal may also appeal to this wordy mom, as would a hot new best-seller. Looking for an activity? Try a trip downtown together to window shop or a visit to a museum.
Cancer Mom (June 21 to July 22)
If your mom is a Cancer, she's probably a very sentimental soul who would appreciate a shadow box filled with family mementoes. Breakfast in bed is another great way to pay tribute to this born nurturer. A mohair shawl is also a good possibility, as Crabs are sensitive to the cold. A silver ring inlaid with each of her children's birthstones is the ultimate splurge.
Leo Mom (July 23 to Aug. 22)
Women born under this sign are dignified, elegant, and regal. A vanity set with a comb, brush, mirror, and cosmetic containers is a good bet. Leos often sport luxurious manes, so you may want to get her an appointment at an exclusive hair salon. A basket of her favorite DVDs is another possibility. Taking her to a play or concert will appeal to her inner diva.
Virgo Mom (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
Virgo moms are ultra-practical. A time-saving gadget or some sturdy kitchen equipment will be much appreciated. Virgins believe that cleanliness is next to godliness, so a wicker basket filled with natural bath products is another good possibility. This mom is always waiting on others, so turn the tables and fix her a home-cooked meal. A handsome Mah-Jongg set might also appeal to her love of games.
