Are you at wit's end when trying to decide what to get your Mom or your wife for the upcoming holiday in her honor? It's easy to slip into an unthinking pattern of buying the same sorts of presents for her every year, one after another. Flower, candy, that sort of thing. And there's certainly nothing wrong with that approach occasionally, but if you've done it over and over and over, it's time to look for a new approach to shopping for the Mom or Moms in your life for this Mother's Day. Check out the following paragraphs for some cool tips. By the way, I'm a 35 year old man who lives in his Mom's basement, so I know what I'm talking about!

1. mp3 player. You may not know it, but if your wife or mother doesn't have her own mp3 player, she's at very high risk of becoming a social pariah. You've got to solve this problem ASAP!. Do you want everyone in town pointing and whispering when she walks by? Hearing her called things like "weirdo"? Yeah, well, maybe you wouldn't mind, but I guarantee you Mom will mind. Don't let it happen to her. Don't let her walk out the door one more time without owning her own mp3 player. That way, when people talk about her, it won't be about how behind the times she is, but how thoughtful her son or daughter is!

2. High Definition TV. Do you really love your Mom? Of course, you'll say you do. But do you really, really love her? If so, then you'll do whatever it takes to make sure she doesn't get arrested for rampaging in the streets next year. What am I talking about? Here's what - early next year the new law kicks in making all TV stations switch to digital only programs. If your Mom isn't ready for the change, there's likely to be a bit of unpleasantness. Don't let that happen. For this Mother's Day, get her a new HD television or a converter box for her old one.

3. Satellite radio. Unless your Mom speaks Spanish, or enjoys teeny bopper music, or gets off on 15 straight hours of some blowhards foaming at the mouth about politics and how America is going to heck in a hand basket, there's probably not much for her to listen to when it comes to local radio. There might be one or two stations, but that's about it, and that's not much choice. But with a satellite radio receiver, she can choose from hundreds of genres and formats, most of which are commercial free. And you can get her a receiver for the car, for the home, or a sport receiver for jogging, etc.

4. Better computer. Unless your Mom is some sort of Luddite, she no doubt already owns a computer. But there'a a real good chance that it's pretty close to being obsolete. Technology is always changing. Especially when it comes to computers, what was cutting edge just a few years ago is now an old clunker. (In fact, I've tried to tell Mom that it's hard to be America's best loved ebook author while working on a WebTV, but so far she refuses to spring for an upgrade.) Make sure your Mom has the latest technology!

5. Home Music System. Just like computers and TVs, home stereos have evolved greatly in the past few years. They've gotten smaller, better, and cheaper, all at the same time. The sound quality that comes out of products from companies like Bose and Cambridge Soundworks simply has to be heard to be believed. if your Mom is a music lover she probably will able to experience music like she never has before if you get her a state of the art home stereo system. Of course, they're all compatible with iPods now, so she can enjoy music she's downloaded from the web.

6. Hi tech camera. If I had to bet, I'd bet that your Mom has at least one kid? Right? (I usually am...you don't become America's best loved ebook authors by not having a nose for the facts.) And it's a safe bet that she loves to take pictures of he kids, right? (Well, except for my Mom, but that's another story.) Then what would make a better Mother's Day present than a brand new digital camera? If she's never had one, she'll be amazed at how wonderful they are. if she's already got one, she could probably use a newer one. Prices have really come down the past few years, and you could get her a really nice camera for just a few bucks.

7. Espresso machine. Does your Mom hang out at Starbucks or some other place that sells gourmet coffee drinks? If so, that's costing her a lot of money over a year's time. if you don't believe me, just drop in the store yourself some time. Talk about sticker shock! You'd better hope they carry smelling salts! (Of course, they'd probably charge you for those, too!) But your Mom doesn't have to spend tons of money at Starbucks to get a delicious cup of coffee. There are a wide variety of well made espresso machines, and one of them would make a lovely Mother's Day gift.
