Italian Finds from Girasole Gifts and Imports
Girasole Gifts and Imports is located on "the Hill," St. Louis' historic Italian neighborhood. Girasole sells a wide variety of Italian products, including ceramics, jewelry, handbags, beauty products and books. One of their most popular products (and a very original gift idea) is "Italian Roots, American Flowers", a book on Italian culture and cooking by local author Elenaore Berra Marfisi.2103 Marconi Ave.

Kitchen Conservatory
If your mom loves to cook, buy her a cooking class at the Kitchen Conservatory. It's like our own local and more intimate version of the Food Network. She and her guests will watch a top local chef prepare multiple dishes, with more than enough sampling to make a great meal. Plus, it's the gift that keeps on giving, especially for family members, as mom tries out the recipes at home later.8021 Clayton Road

Beyond Typical Flowers
Sure flowers can be a "garden variety" Mother's Day gift, but if you want to impress mom with a bouquet that is truly spectacular, order one from Botanicals Design Studio. Chances are, if you were ever wowed by the flower arrangement your coworker received, it probably came from Botanicals Design Studio. Let them put together a unique arrangement or something exotic for your mom.3014 S. Grand Ave.
