Mother's Day Gifts: Beauty Presents and Deals She'll Love

Mother's Day 2010 is May 9th. That's right, this Sunday.

It completely snuck up on us this year, but don't worry if you've left your shopping to the very last minute -- we've got you covered.

You could go with the flowers-and-brunch routine for the millionth time, or you could give her some fancy beauty goodies, since you know she refuses to splurge on herself. And if you've got little ones of your own, bookmark this page for your SO, so you don't end up with something totally lame like a frying pan.

Below, the picks we'd be proud to bestow upon our own mothers!

Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Starter Kit, $65
Even if tea isn't her thing, she'll appreciate how it helps skin look and feel better. This collection of minis from one of Hollywood's fave complexion fixers, the charming Ole Henriksen, helps fight against damage from free radicals. $65 gets you a Foaming Cleanser, Face Mist, Crème, Face Scrub, Mask and Eye Crème.

The Thymes Why-I-Love-Mom Contest
How sweet is this? Go to Thymes.com to submit an essay explaining why your mom is the best (she's got great advice, she taught you to bake the yummiest cookies in the world, she's the champion of volunteering, etc). The winner gets a $300 shopping spree from, and four runners-up each receive $50 gift certificates, which isn't too shabby either.

Moroccanoil Mother's Day Beach Bag, $88
Everyone is obsessed with Moroccanoil. With good reason-who wouldn't want shiny, healthy, non-frizzy hair? Another reason to check it out is this limited edition gift. The bag includes their Moisture Repair Shampoo, Moisture Repair Conditioner, Treatment and an Ionic Ceramic Paddle Brush, for $88. But the best part is that the company has promised to donate $15,000 to The Breast Cancer Research Fund, so it's not just a gift for Mom, but for all women.

Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleansing System, $195
We know, buying an appliance sounds like a cop-out, but this one helps give her great skin, so she'll love it. The Clarisonic vibrating brush gets complexions perfectly clean and radiant, and this BCA Pink version, $195, does even more: Clarisonic gives a portion on the proceeds to foundations that fight breast cancer.

Bond No. 9 New York Chinatown Swarovski Refillable Pocket Spray, $225
For moms who love a little bling, this is the perfect choice. Bond No. 9 Chinatown floral-spice scent combines patchouli and caramom with tuberose, gardenia and peach blossom, and you get free samples of Bond's other best-selling fragrances and even free shipping. It's a bit of a splurge at $225, but much better than spending that same amount on a new pair of shoes for yourself.

Kelly Van Gogh Heads Up Highlighting Kit, $49
For a new take on mother-daughter bonding, take the time to give her salon-worthy hair at home. Everything you'll need is included in the kit ($49); the Translucent Mica Shine Gel Lightening System makes it foolproof since you can see the results as they develop and stop the process when the color is just right. The bleach-free formula contains keratin and UV protection so hair stays healthy, and it smells like jasmine and rose instead of yucky chemicals.

Nest Fragrances Blue Garden Candle, $32
This NEST Fragrances hydrangea and hyacinth candle, $32, goes beyond just making a space smell delicious. NEST is donating profits to Autism Speaks, in honor of the organization's fifth anniversary. Helping children is something every mom will want to be a part of.

Me De La Mer Miraculous Beginnings, $350

Has Mom always wanted to try the luxe brand? Here's a way to help her become a La Mer addict. For $350, this new kit comes with a full size jar of the original Crème, along with smaller doses of their Moisturizing Gel Cream, Lifting Face Serum, Lifting Intensifier, Cleansing Lotion, Tonic and Eye Concentrate. Come on, Jennifer Lopez isn't the only one with kids who's entitled to fancy skincare.

Stila Mother's Day Set, $38
For a limited time, Stila has this kit, $38, filled with tried-and-true favorites (like their cult-hit Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer, Eye Trio shadow and Lip Glaze) plus the new One Step Prime Color that works as a primer, highlighter and lip/cheek/eye color in one. It's conveniently travel-sized and perfect for throwing into a diaper bag (new moms will appreciate this quick and easy prettifying set, we promise).

And, enter her to win this amazing celebrity mom swag bag!
