Mother’s Day is just around the corner. If you’re still struggling with what to get your mom, check out the Consumer Reports Mother’s Day gift guide. The guide includes articles on mail-order flowers (CR recommendation: order from a florist near mom), as well as free access to past reports on:
- Jewelry
- Candy
- Mail-order baskets (probably too late for this)
- Digital cameras
- Pots and pans
Note that this gift guide gives free access to articles only, and not to ratings. CR keeps everything else locked behind a paywall, even for magazine subscribers.

That has been one of my gripes with Consumer Reports. Having to pay for web access even though I subscribe too.

I found that my library has a subscription and they gave me the username/password. Maybe other libraries do this as well. It wouldn’t hurt asking.

Thank you for the link to CR.
2.5 months ago my husband sent me some red roses from ProFlowers.com for V-day. They were beautiful and arrived as though he had bought them at a florist. We live in a State where we are in a rather desolate location, so buying the flowers from ProFlowers was actually cheaper than buying them from the local florist (one). One thing: I thought baby’s breath was passe, so if they omitted those, that would have been OK with me.
Thanks again for the link and for this site.

Pots and pans? I’d be one unhappy mama if my family bought me those for Mother’s Day. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but, c’mon, this is 2007. No blenders, either!

For Mother’s day last year, my brother and I went to our mother’s house, fixed up her yard, cleaned the rain gutters, mowed the lawn, trimmed the trees and then cooked her dinner.
Cost us virtually nothing, saved her a ton of money and it was a lot of fun. We spent a whole day together as a family and she enjoyed that quite a bit.
