What do you give the woman who has given you everything? How about a nice BEAT. Makeup and accessories are always a nice gift. I recently sat down with Marcia Caster, a NYC Beauty editor and here are her top 5 gifts for mom.
A Fragrance Find

Diptyque L’Eau de Tarocco ($95, diptyqueparis.com). “It’s perfect for day and night and I always get compliments when I spritz it on. And most importantly, sexy Lamman Rucker from Why Did I Get Married Too? loves it.”
Florals Instead of a Bouquet
“From shoes to jewels, florals are going to be everywhere this spring—and they are not dowdy. Give mom a floral print dress, or even a blossoming bracelet.”
Comfort To Go
o

“For all of the heel-loving moms, I just discovered Cityslips ($24.95, cityslips.com). They are a pair of ballerina flats that come in a portable pouch. The pouch unzips into a tote to stash your heels when the feet start to ache! Love it!”
Pampering Please
“You can’t beat Carol’s Daughter for a luxurious treat. For Mother’s Day she has Goddess gift sets. Try the Pampered Goddess with Goddess roller fragrance, Mimosa Hair Honey, Lemon Ginger Mint Manicure and more ($49, carolsdaughter.com). You can also sign mom up in the sweepstakes to win a $250 shopping spree.”
Nail It
“Even the most low maintenance mom will love a basket full of the latest nail colors—add a mani/pedi kit for good measure. A manicure is a quick pick-me-up, with no major commitment. The hottest shades right now are rich turquoises, teals, purples and greens.”
