With Mother's Day just one short day away, today is the last opportunity to find a gift that will make your mom feel special. To make what could be a daunting task easier, Boulder area shopping centers have put together Mother's Day gift guides filled with great ideas.

Shop Downtown Boulder for a truly unique gift that your mom is sure to love. Or visit Flatiron Crossing or Twenty Ninth Street for a more traditional yet thoughtful gift choice.

• For the mom who loves fashion, try shoe retailer Two Sole Sisters for a great selection of scarves or handbags to accent her look. Or treat her to a necklace and bracelet from Brighton Collectibles and get a pair of earrings for free!


• For the mom who deserves to relax, treat her to a new perfume from Victoria's Secret or a gift set from The Body Shop or Bath and Body Works.


• For the light-hearted mom, how about a kite from Into the Wind? Buy two and spend a fun, windy afternoon together.


• For the mom who's a genius in the kitchen, stop into Oliv You & Me or Savory Spice to find that unusual spice or accent to make the perfect dish. Pair that with a new cookbook from Peppercorn and you're set! Or try your hand at cooking and treat mom to breakfast in bed with the perfect new pan from Williams-Sonoma.


• For the high-tech mom, shop the Apple Store for the latest gadget. Fill an iPod with her favorite music and throw in an iTunes gift card!

But no matter what gift you choose, make sure to call or visit your mom - she'll appreciate that more than the actual present. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!
