But rest easy! Chicks has you covered and will make your gift shopping so easy you'll want to shop for your mom, your guy's mom (like that wasn't going to happen anyway), and for your neighbor's mom down the street!

Here's what you do:
1.Pick up the latest issue of Chicks Magazine.

3.Open up Chicks Magazine and start browsing the ads.
Make your list and start shopping!
It's just that easy...

To make it even easier, I will give you some great ideas for each business:
DJ Bitzan and Suga Beads Just 4 U are no brainers: Jewelry! DJ Bitzan has every type of gem available in necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets. It's so easy it's almost like cheating. Hop on Suga Beads Just 4 U website and pick out a contemporary necklace that will rock any wardrobe.

If your mom is a quilter, crocheter or knitter, Gruber's Quilts is where you'll want to stop. Thousands of different fabrics and yarns to choose from..the selection is almost overwhelming.

You'll find the unusual and fun at BIDI Boutique, Bumbledee's and Northern Brights. Each shop has its own kind of merchandise. BIDI Boutiquein Sartell has a great selection of clothing, jewelry and fun gift items. Bumbledee's won't be open till June 11th, but when it does, you'll love the antiques and art they have in stock. Northern Brights in Downtown St. Cloud has very unique gifts, purses, scarves that will inspire and appeal to your mom's creative side.

How about Gift Certificates for spa and salon services? I know that I always appreciate them! Give you mom some pampering at one of the great salon/spas featured in Chicks. Plus we have you covered from all different locations in Central Minnesota. Panache in Sartell, Divas Hair & Body Works in Kimball, Annandale and Buffalo and Joseph's Salon in St. Joseph.

Go a step further and and treat your mother to whiter teeth from Granite City Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. They even have a coupon for $100 off a whitening kit! Do varicose veins bother her but she won't do anything about them? Take her to The Vein Center. Not only do they take care of your legs, but they have a whole line of cosmetic treatments and skin care line. Let's talk eyes: At Centrasota Eyecare you can give your mother 20/20 vision. Or if she already has great vision, how about a pair of designer sunglasses from Russell Eyecare?

Of course you can always appeal to her palate.Take her out to eat for a wonderful Italian culinary experience at Mi Famiglia in Downtown St. Cloud. And Icing Dreams is definitely the place to order her Mother's Day cake, cookies or cupcakes. Tasty and fun! Does she wine? How about taking her to a wine tasting by Cru Wine Specialists or plan a wine tasting at your home for her with family and friends!

How about a road trip? Jump in the car and head to Buffalo! Take her with and make it a mother/daughter day! Check out The Nest, Ritzy Replay, Something Savvy, Now & Again, A Wreath of Franklin and Behind the Picket Fence. Or Sassy Seconds in St. Michael. These boutiques and shops are one of a kind!
