We want your mom to have a great Mother's Day, so please, heed this advice: If you plan on buying her something for her home this year, don't make it anything cleaning- or housework-related. Translation: no new vacuum cleaners or garbage bins.

Instead, we've got a few fun, Character Approved gift ideas for the mother on your list.

If she's a wine drinker or an entertainer, the Corkcicle is a really neat idea. It's a pretty and clever wine chiller that cools the wine from the inside out. So while you're out on the deck with some lovely Chablis, your wine will stay cool.

This Mason Jar Lamp from etsy.com is really beautiful and unique. If your mom prefers a more rustic décor, it would go well without being overwhelming in any room.

It might be time to upgrade the bird feeder you made your mother when you were five. This uncommongoods.com Chandelier Hummingbird Feeder, made from recycled blue glass, is as practical as it is pretty.

Of course, flowers and brunch are always a good idea too, as long as you thank the woman who brought you into this world. Happy Mother's Day!
