Do your Mother (and me) proud...

Don't let Sunday morning get here and there you are empty handed in front of Mom. From simple to savvy, please do or give her something that she'll love...

A card she will never forget - Letterbox, or make one from your heart - Paper Source or Wet Paint.

A brunch that will make her feel like a queen - Jax Cafe, The Lexington, Nicollet Island Inn or one that surrounds her with simple comfort - Birchwood Cafe, Modern Cafe, Crema Cafe (3403 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls, 612-824-3868) or Wilde Roast Cafe.

Go for the one-of-a-kind gift this year - First Thurs in The Arts District, Weisman Museum Store, Twin Cities Green, Cool Planet Goods, or Gallery 360.

Impress her by cooking or givng her a stunning consumable gift, which does Mother Earth good too- E's Cheese, Surdyk's Cheese Shop, Buon Gierno Market and the best market of all, Mill City Farmers Market.

Make it all about her health and beauty - Intelligent Nutrients ( 983 E Hennepin Ave, Mpls 612-617-2002), Storm Sisters, or Pinky's for Nails (3100 W 50th St, Mpls, 612-925-4000).

Tea for 2? Mother's Day Tea at The St Paul Grill.

Free for 2? Walk along the Stone Arch Bridge, Linden Hills or Como Park Conservatory.

Four days to go, and 25 recommendations. I'm not holding your hand any longer...
