Mother’s Day is coming up quickly — May 11 will be here before we know it! And that means finding a gift that is 1) is personal enough, 2) fits, 3) is age-appropriate, 4) has a light and airy springtime spirit, and 5) is overall perfect (or as close as possible) for stylish Mom.

Those five requirements aren’t exactly easy to meet — especially if you are contemplating buying clothing!

I did come across a few non-clothing items (accessories, jewelry, etc) from my Shop It To Me email that I’m considering and thought I’d share with you. They may be perfect for your mom too, or at least spark some ideas.

Glass bead necklace Reg $39.00 Now $29.99

Theory Denim Belt Reg $225.00 Now $66.99

Marc by Marc Jacobs – bronze rhinestone cuff Reg $68.00 Now $47.00

If you’re considering a non clothing related gift, a few of our Trendsetters and friends had suggestions.

Regina Lewis has a recommendation for the “Best Florist Ever”

Geek Sugar told us about some cool looking Hallmark recordable cards

iVillage Steals & Deals recommended a terrific Spa-related gift site

Any other great suggestions aside from the typical flowers and a card?

Have you seen Free People’s website? So colorful, cheery, youthful, and fun!

With Free People being one of the most popular brands selected, items from freepeople.com are now included in Sale Mails.

I personally was thrilled to see these photos — they brightened my day! Love the boldness in color.

Did you see Shop It To Me in Glamour magazine’s “Slaves to Fashion” blog?

This post by Glamour’s senior style editor, Jenny Feldman (thanks Jenny!), sparked some great conversation about sale-shopping.

What about you? Do you always shop the sale section, or do you now just rely on your SaleMail?

Here’s the answers from yesterday’s trivia…we hope you didn’t cheat!

1. Shop It To Me is headquartered in San Francisco, CA – we’re in the trendy South Park area.

2. The most selected brands are Marc Jacobs, BCBG, and Diane Von Furstenburg — cute items like these:

Marc by Marc Jacobs – Sonia Sateen Jacket Reg $428.00 Now $170.90

BCBGMAXAZRIA Stretch-Cotton Tulip Dress Reg $180.00 Now $135.00

Diane von Furstenberg ‘Dutch’ Silk Jersey Dress Reg $345.00 Now $206.90

But with oodles of other brands, half the fun is being unique and choosing something lesser known!

3. On average, members are saving 40% off the retail price by using Shop It To Me.

4. We have more than 700 brands in our library today….and it grows daily (as of today we had 734 to be exact, including Women’s, Men’s, and Kids/Baby)!

You can see the full brand list when you first sign up. And remember, you can change your brand preferences at any time by logging into your profile and adding more.

So…how did you do???
