This year instead of the same old stuff, why not get your mom something unique? Here are some ideas. The Snow Ski Rocker is made from Port Orford, OR, cedar with stainless steel fasteners and recycled snow skis. With extra long arms and an anatomically curved back, the rocker doesn’t have to be treated if left outdoors. Resistant to insects and rot, it will turn a silvery grey patina if left untreated and can be preserved using a UV inhibitor sealer. The rocker comes partially assembled and must be glued together. As with all cedar furniture, it is subject to checking, a natural process in which wood releases moisture across or through the annual growth rings. Because checking occurs on the surface only, the integrity of the wood won’t be affected. The rocker is available through a number of Web sites. The typewriter key necklace is handmade from authentic typewriter keys of the 1920s, ‘30s and ‘40s. The keys are set in sterling silver on a silver 18” ball chain. Each has been cleaned and polished but does show some signs of aging and patina. You can choose from any letter. The necklace is available on a number of Web sites. The recycled newspaper market bag is handmade in Los Angeles from the Arts and Leisure section of recycled newspapers. Laminated with a double strap and a Velcro closure, the bag is soft, durable and water resistant-to clean it, just wipe it with a damp cloth. There is no choice of print, so each bag is one of a kind. The bag measure 12.5x12x6” and is available from Uncommon Goods. The World Wildlife Fund gift adoption card is perfect for moms who love animals. For $50, Mom can choose from 80 species for her symbolic adoption. In addition, she will receive a 5x7” adoption certificate, a 5x7” color photo of the animal, a plush version of the animal, a card containing information about the animal, a drawstring gift bag and online bonuses, including an adoption certificate, AIM icon and wallpaper and screen saver of the adopted animal. The gift is available on the World Wildlife Fund’s Web site. Need some other gift ideas? Here are a few: • Create Mom’s very own cookbook using her recipes and photos. There are numerous Web sites where you can do so. • Create Mom a customized playlist. You can spend as little or as much as you want to create a playlist of Mom’s favorite tunes. • Create Mom s’mores using the Microwave S’mores Maker. Load the water reservoir and place the three ingredients in the maker for 30 seconds or less. The maker is dishwasher safe. This is just a small sample of some of the unique gifts available for the unique mom. All you have to do is consider Mom’s interests and see what’s out there.
