It's that time of year - What to get mother! As you all know, Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 11. If your mom is like mine, she'll say, "oh, you don't need to get me something, a card will do." This is simply a test so see how well I know her. All hell would break loose if I didn't get her something on Mother's Day.

Here are few gift-giving ideas from our member groups. Also consider donating to these groups, or other DIA member groups , on behalf of mom. - For the hip, feminist mom (Bueller.... Bueller) check out the Feminists Majority Store. - For the mom that LOVES democracy, necklaces or belt buckles from check out Mainstreet Moms. - Find a huge variety of items through West Virginia Free. - Send a Mothers Day card via MomsRising, (followed by a gift of course). - New mothers will LOVE the stylish shirts, bags and mugs brought to you by MomsRising. - Fair trade gifts are always a hit and will benefit Women Thrive Worldwide. For the mom who doesn't need stuff, is pure of heart, or you simply can't please, consider a gift membership from the Women's Learning Partnership, the Women's Funding Network, or WomenInBalance . If none of these really work, go for the old stand by, single origin chocolate, from Missoula based Posh Chocolate.. These chocolates really are the best in the West. Hope this helps!
