She brought you into this world. She taught you right from wrong. She showed you how to bargain shop like a pro. And now she's giving you an occasion to put those money-saving skills to work. (As if you didn't already have enough reasons to thank this saint.) Whatever you do, don't let the next nine days get away from you without settling on a gift worthy of the world's best Mom. As always, I'm here to help.

We all know how much mothers love carrying their memories with them. And I can't think of a better way to help Mom do just that than with a Photo Purse from PersonalCreations.com. Immortalize one of her favorite snapshots in black leather trim for under $49.95. Use coupon code SIXTEN and get 10% off your purchase before May 14th. Shop through ConsumerClub.com and get a 5% rebate.

Now, you may not immediately think "Mom" when you hear SharperImage.com, but I'm here to tell you why you should. From flameless modern candles to contour-foam silver slippers, there's a lot here for a mother to love. Another thing: Buy any item on SharperImage.com and get the Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner for half price — only $49.98. Right now you can also get $15 off your order of $50 or more. Last but not least, shop through ConsumerClub.com and enjoy a 4% rebate.

Is your mother a music-loving hipster who somehow hasn't yet invested in an iPod®? You know what to do. Visit Apple.com for a 1% rebate from ConsumerClub.com, in addition to free engraving on Mom's new iPod. (With a price as low as $149.00, the Nano model is my personal favorite. And it's smaller than a powder compact.)

Leave it to AKAgourmet.com to come up with charming goodie baskets full of chocolate, wine and cheese, garden treasures and teddy bears. Starting at just $19.99, these lovely gifts can be shared with the whole family — or at least the generous son or daughter who purchased them. And your reward doesn't end there: ConsumerClub.com gives you a generous 8% rebate on your purchase.

How would Mom like an aromatherapy lotion sampler in a reusable cosmetic bag? Some Peach Parfait exfoliating body polish from Jaqua Jeanine's Bakery? Or any number of other moisturizing, sweet-smelling, pampering gifts from BathandBodyWorks.com? Enter promotional code GIFT10 at checkout and you'll save $10 on a purchase of $30 or more before May 15th.

Another great idea: Get all the great prices you expect from Walmart.com without the overwhelming hustle and bustle of the store. Buy Maya Angelou's latest book titled "Mother: A Cradle to Hold Me" at Walmart.com and get a 4% rebate from ConsumerClub.com. You'll also find flowers, jewelry and a whole lot more for Mom.

Whose mother doesn't need to relax more often? Go to wellness central, otherwise known as Gaiam.com, for yoga kits, Soft Sounds CDs, water fountains and so much more that you might be tempted to create a custom spa for Mom right at home. You can relax too as your purchases earn you a 5% rebate from ConsumerClub.com.

Shame on me for not getting to the flowers faster. No matter what kind of garden your mother is growing, she'll adore a bright bouquet of mixed tulips from FTD.com. Don't miss Todd Oldham's "Springtime Culinary Creation" bouquet too. Can't decide on one? Buy two. Your purchases all add up to a sweet 5% rebate from ConsumerClub.com.

I could go on all day about the gifts I'd like to give my mom or receive on Mother's Day. But I'll end with the coveted jewelry from PalmBeachJewelry.com. From diamonds to jade to tiger's eye, you'll find a stone and setting Mom will wear with pride. And there's nothing wrong with buying a little something for yourself. Even if you don't, think of your 6% rebate from ConsumerClub.com as a well-earned gift. Happy Mother's Day.
