Patch Picks: Mother's Day Gifts

A THOUGHFUL DEAL

Best Custom Frame on Fair Oaks Avenue is having a sale—just in time for Mother's Day. Take your favorite family photo or maybe just a pic of you and mom and bring it to life with a yellow wooden frame or perhaps an embellished gold one. Either way, mom is sure to love this somewhat-sentimental gift.

SWEAT IT OUT

No mom is excluded at . From prenatal to postnatal to those recovering from injuries, the studio offers a class specific to just about any mom's needs (dont worry, there are also options for advanced students). Also, the first class is free for local residents, and a 15 percent discount is offered for the first series. You can buy a gift card online or in the store.

THRIFTY MUSIC

In addition to used clothes, shoes and purses, thrift store features some great vintage furniture pieces. If you're looking to spend an extra buck on mom this year, check out the wooden piano ($375.50). But if you want to grab something a bit cheaper, they also sell records for super cheap ($1 each) and tons of CDs.

DO-IT-YOURSELF SPA DAY

Save yourself a penny and wow mom with a homemade gift basket from Candles (2.99 each), incense ($2.59 per package), sage ($4.99), some yogi tea ($5.39) and a face mask ($8.95) make the perfect combo for a full day of relaxation.

FAMILY FUN

Head over to , and grab some already-been-viewed movies; deals include two for $20 and four for $20. While you have to sift through them to find a couple winners, it's worth the dig. Highlights include: "The Informant", "Mad Men Season 2", "Up in the Air" and "The Kids are Alright." Grab a bag of popcorm, a box of candy and demand a family movie night. Nothing puts a smile on a mother's face like quality time with her children.
