You can not remember if her pant size is a 10 or 12. And
is she a medium top, or would she feel more comfortable
in a large? Relieve yourself of the guesswork -- and
checking the tags on her clothes -- with The Apparel
Wire's inaugural Mother's Day golf gift giving ideas.
Here is a list of alternative gift options for your
special Mom, significant other, grandmother, aunt,
sister or friend, that are sure to please. Plus, we
included where you can buy them.
So, c'mon, get it in gear, and make her feel like one
lucky golf gal this Mother's Day.
Core fitness is fashionable. Show her that you
really care and want her playing the links for years to
come. She will feel fitter and stronger with GolfGym's
Balance Ball exercise program. It's designed to help any
golfer improve core strength, flexibility, posture and
balance. GolfGym has also created a DVD that features
exercises specific to improving her golf game.
Price: $34.95, which includes an exercise ball, DVD,
user manual and portable air pump.

We love cute stationery and Bloom Designs
has an adorable collection of golf-illustrated cards.
Bold red argyle capris called "golf legs," and a
brightly colored set of woods and irons are two samples
of their creative designs. Boxed note cards are
available blank or with thank you. Note and magnet pads
are handy for her list making at home or office.
Personalize them with her name or "No. 1 Mom" on a
stationery book that includes a set of designs you
choose along with text, color and font.

You can't go wrong with something that makes her feel
pampered. Philosophy offers a Mom Kit, that includes
seven of their popular Amazing Grace products. A very
feminine fragrance spray, bath and shower gel, hair
conditioner, body emulsion, salt scrub, fragrance
compact and room spray, in a nice wicker basket. They
all have Philosophy's signature inspirational sayings on
the labels.
Price: $145 for the Mom Kit, which is an exclusive at
www.philosophy.com.
Note: If this blows your budget, then look for
individual Philosophy products on its Web site or at
www.sephora.com. Add a gift certificate for a
manicure/pedicure, and she'll be tickled pink, or
whatever nail color polish she chooses.
Help protect her from the harsh effects of the sun on
both skin and hair with a stylish hat. Comfort,
function and sophistication are the hallmarks behind the

Helen Kaminski. An emphasis on ease of wear and packing
for travel, Elements features hats, caps and visors in a

sunshade, rain protection and moisture control. There's
an innovative convertible cap/visor, a clever walking

Add a little pizzazz to her golf outfits with ribbon
belts. A vast array of colors and designs have made
belts more like shoes in a woman's wardrobe -- you can
never have too many. Bugface Belts, NYC offers the
ultimate ribbon belt. This line of stylish grosgrain
ribbon belts improves on the classic by using a thick
cotton lining that gives them a sturdy feel. There are
single color ribbons, reversible ribbons and jacquard
ribbon with fun designs such as palm trees, martini
glasses, and spouting whales. The Sara reversible belt
is two belts in one. One side pretty in pink with white
polka dots, the other side green and white stripes. It
has a leather single bar buckle that allows a switch
from pink to green on a moment's notice.
Price: Ranges from $25-$35, sizes in small, medium and
large.

www.bugfacebelts.com.
A new pair of sport specific sunglasses will
surprise her. PeakVision Sports' high-performance
eyewear has patented dual-zone lenses that balance the
light extremes encountered during a round of golf. You
actually see better, so you'll play better.
No more taking sunglasses on/off and putting them on top
of your head. The neutral-density gray tinting in the
upper zone of the lenses reduces glare and allows for
accurate distance perception. The amber-tuned color in
the lower zone highlights the contours of the green for
improved reads of putts. They also happen to be great
looking.
The GR4 has a sleek Grilamid frame that is very
comfortable and so stylish, lucky mom will not be
leaving these in her golf bag. She won't break them
either -- they're shatterproof and scratch resistant.
They come in metallic grass and translucent olive.
Price: $169, which is a reasonable price for 100 percent
UV400 to protect her baby blues.
Information: Go to www.PeakVisionSports.com.
We can always use a new golf glove. Lady
Fairway's SureFit gloves are designed by women for
women, be they mothers, sisters, co-workers, golfers and
girlfriends. They enjoy the game of golf and understand
that if women are going to play this game with such busy
schedules, the products they use and wear must be
comfortable, stylish and reasonably priced. All of their
glove styles are made with SureFeel micro-fibre.
Available in sizes small, medium, medium-large and
large.

She'll be the envy of all her friends toting a shoe
bag by Keri Golf. This is a very classy, updated
design to the familiar golf shoe bag -- no fuzzies
inside either.
It's lined in black nylon with a divider in the middle.
The divider is secured with Velcro at the ends, so you
can lay shoes flat if desired. Keri Golf shoe bags, like
their cart and stand golf bags, are well-constructed
using durable genuine leather and nickel plated
hardware.
The two-way zip front and vertical frame make it easy to
access your shoes.
Price: $75, additional cost if bag is monogrammed with
her initials for a special personal touch.
Information: Go to www.kerigolf.com or call 888-332-5053
for availability.
For those of you who are gift-wrap challenged, simply
arrange your purchase(s) inside the Keri Golf shoe bag
with a little tissue paper.
Add a bow and don't forget the sappy card. You know
we're suckers for those.
Happy gift giving.
