Martha Stewart Living or Books
Martha is free, and crafty as ever. Her magazine, Martha Stewart Living, is full of projects worth ripping out and saving, whether your mom loves to garden, cook, collect, or create. If mom already has a subscription, consider getting her a compilation book like Good Things or Good Things For Organizing. She’ll be dusting the plant leaves in no time.

Omron Premium Pedometer
This pedometer counts steps, aerobic steps, distance in miles, and calories burned. It does not tell you your pulse, give you inspiring quotations, or microwave your lunch. In other words, it’s a lightweight, simple option for those who choose walking as their primary form of exercise. You can clip it to a belt or tuck it in a pocket and get going.

iPod Shuffle 512MB
Seriously, she goes to the gym with an AM/FM radio walkman that she bought in 1982. Get her an iPod Shuffle today, and you’ll have just enough time to load it with 120 of her favorite songs, or some choice NPR clips, and give it to her over Sunday brunch. Though you may have to explain what it is. It ships in one to two business days, and shipping is free!

Green thumb, creaky hips. This sturdy work seat lets mom scoot from flower to flower, with her tools tucked beneath her and a tall glass of iced tea in the cup holder. Much better than muddy knees.

Dysentery T-Shirt
I never thought the game-nostalgia merchandise craze would extend to Oregon Trail, but this shirt proves me wrong. I linked out to Bitter Shirts because they made it, and therefore have the best price on it, but the Busted Tees shirt description is not to be missed:
“You bought 1350 lbs of this shirt but you can only carry 200 back to the wagon.”

(Price varies by size.)

Everything is Illuminated
by Jonathan Safran Foer Please read this book, it’s exceptionally satisfying. An excerpt: “She always saw through him, as if he were just another window. She always felt that she knew everything about him, that could be known-not that he was simple, but that he was knowable, like a list of errands, like an encyclopedia. He had a birthmark on the third toe of his left foot. He wasn’t able to urinate if someone could hear him. He thought cucumbers were good enough, but pickles were delicious–so absolutely delicious, in fact, that he questioned whether they were, indeed made from cucumbers, which were only good enough. He hadn’t heard of Shakespeare, but Hamlet sounded familiar. He liked making love from behind. That, he thought, was about as nice as it gets. He had never kissed anyone besides his mother and her… He had never seen another man naked, and so had no idea if his body was normal. The word “butterfly” made him blush, although he didn’t know why… He admired magicians more after learning the secrets of their tricks.”

Journal Memory Boxes
BY REQUEST This acid-free, 100 percent cotton journal features a suede-lined compartment where you can store mementos. The box closes with a magnetic clap, so your treasures will stay put. You could use it as a baby book, storing a locket of hair, baby booties, and a snip of blankie fabric. Or use it as a travel journal and secret away bits of stone from the piazza, a wine label, and a stalk of lavender from the guest-cottage garden.
