Flowers for Mother's Day? Ho hum. Chocolates? Please. Your mother carried you around for nine  months. She changed your diapers. Worse, she dealt with you as a teenager. Don't you think she deserves a little more originality than flowers and candy when it comes to Mother's Day gifts?

May I suggest a wine gift for Mom this year? But not just any wine. Read on as I match the perfect wines to the perfect mom--yours!

Thrifty Mom

She clips grocery coupons. She waits for semi-annual sales. And she probably made you wear your siblings' hand-me-downs, no matter if your genders matched or not. Her cheapness made you cringe when it came time to buy a prom dress, but now that you're living on your own dime, you see where the lady was coming from. How do you think she'd like 12 wines for $69.99? Sign her up for the Zagat Wine Club (cancel any time) and you'll bowl her over with great wines at less than $6 per bottle!  Includes two free gifts--and you know Thrifty Mom loves a good Gift With Purchase.


Hippie Mom


She may not have let you watch TV, but at least she taught you about respecting Mother Nature. And the many uses for hemp. Thank Hippie Mom for your au naturale upbringing with this Zinfandelic Groovy Duo from wine.com. It contains two bottles of groovy zin in an equally groovy matching wine tote, and it's only $39.99. Zinfandels are typically quite high in alcohol, but if Hippie Mom was around in the sixties, she can probably handle it.

New Mom

She may not be your mom, but if you've got a mom in your life with a newborn or toddler, give the lady a break, wouldya? Between the sleep deprivation, the oatmeal in her hair and the baby talk that she can no longer differentiate from normal conversation, New Mom walks a fine line between Blessed Angel on Earth and Babbling Crazy Person. Help her stay on the heavenly side with the aptly named Mom's Time Out gift pack. It's got three reds and three whites and when you use our exclusive My Wines Direct coupon, it's only $64.95 with Free Shipping included. If you really want to make New Mom's day, get her the gift pack and offer to baby sit while she takes a shower. You just may see a grown woman cry.

Does your mom not fall into one of the categories above? Not to worry, just check in next week for part two of matching wines with moms.
