Mother's Day Gifts She'll Love

You’ve got only a few days left to come up with a Mother’s Day gift. You could get your mom the go-to flowers or a "world's best mom" card for Sunday, but let's be honest — you can do better. And, frankly, you should do better… because better is what mom deserves.

• There is something special about getting lost in a good book. Between a super-soft CozyChic throw and a Kindle Paperwhite, mom will be able to curl up and read comfortably for hours without eyestrain due to improved high-resolution display and built-in adjustable light. And bonus! A single battery charge lasts weeks, not hours.

• If you have a mom that loves to exercise, she might also love a fitness tracker. The Fitbit Alta HR will track activities and sleep, monitor daily steps and heart rate, and will vibrate for calls, texts and calendar appointments.
