The three cardinal Mother's Day sins? Having your assistant sign the card, forgetting to call, or buying something ridiculously expensive that she'll never use. This Sunday, stick to the classics: an Hermes scarf, an oversized white handbag or a watch that will leave her senseless. Or go with the always appreciated pampering triumvirate: a scented candle, luxurious bath oil and scrumptious chocolates. Then if geographically possible, take Mom to brunch and soon all your past trangressions will be forgotten--or, at least, forgiven.
