Mother's Day is coming soon, on Sunday May 11 2008. Getaways are always a welcome gift: many family-friendly places have special packages for Mother's Day, with maybe a brunch or spa treatment thrown in. Orlando-philes can have Mother's Day Brunch at Epcot during Flower Festival (right).

Or try a travel gift for mom: a sun hat guaranteed for life, a feather-light silk undershirt... Or the eminently practical Compression Travel Bags: put clothes in a clear plastic bag, seal it, roll it, and voila-- your stuff is flattened about half-size.

By the way, there's much more to Mother's Day history than greeting-card fluff...
