10 pretty Mother's Day gifts

6 Pretty new plates, bowls and mugs
The lady who loves to entertain can never have too many new serving pieces to elicit "oohs" and "ahs" from her dinner guests. This porcelain dinnerware, in a pattern called Verity, features a subtle, almost lace-like design for visitors to admire as they eat your mom's latest and greatest culinary creations off their plates. Each bite reveals more beautiful blooms to admire.

8 Bright and bold storage ottoman
For the mom who's unafraid of colour and embraces bold statements with her style choices, this patent green ottoman is just the thing to please her.
