You wanna be starting something? Well, Mother’s Day is right
around the corner.
Mummy Dearest
Get Mumsy’s party started right with a
darling box of Valerie Confections’s new pansy
petit fours and a tea gift box from La
Mill. A Donna
Wilson cozy will keep things nice and toasty.

Yo Momma
Help keep her guard up with a
Gloria apron from the new Henry
Road boutique, but watch Ma melt for Francois Payard’s new Chocolate
Epiphany.
Mama Jamma
Let Madre lounge in her Undrest
robe while awaiting delivery of Blue Plate’s Breakfast in Bed
care package with yogurt, fruit and granola or bagels, O.J.,
champers, and fixings for four (1415 Montana Avenue, Santa Monica;
310-260-8877).

Earth Mother
Nature or nurture? Both.
Post-workshop at the Theodore
Payne Foundation, Momma can hit the dirt with new Ethel
gloves for yard-working girls. For a rose garden by the spritz,
try Strange Invisible Perfumes’s Prima
Ballerina scent.
Mother
Loaded
She’ll take a shine to a pomander
(the new Gold ’N Dulcinea sachets) or a subtle sparkly by Melinda
Maria. Give Mère a break from the spotlight with a
poolside peppermint foot treatment at The
Peninsula’s newly renoed roof garden opening May 1.
Now, you’ve got to be starting something.
