Mother's Day: Retro Gifts for the Modern Day Mrs. Cleaver

mothers dayStill stumped about what to get "Mom" (whomever that may be for you) for Mother's Day? Several online retailers have fabu offerings for moms who are into the retro-vintage-mid-century thing.

Fred Flare offers up sweet recipe journals and tins, swan lake sunglasses that would make Mary Tyler Moore proud, and a pink breakfast in bed tray (my kids are huge fans of breakfast in bed as Mother's/Father's Day presents.)

Sweet moms with a sweet tooth might enjoy this sugar-laden gift box filled with four pounds of retro candy including Necco Wafers, candy cigarettes (who doesn't love those?), and Pixy Stix.

If you are sure your wife won't smack you over the head with it, you can give her a lovely retro apron to wear while she's cooking and serving your meals. (Or to wear for some saucy role-playing...)

Finally, no vintage gift would be complete without a card that calls to mind crinolines and pearl chokers

Get shopping!
