Treillage Weekend from Anthropologie by Lindsay Maynard

If you’re looking for a stylish gift for your stylish mother, Anthropologie is always a good place to go, because moms love everything from there. They have incredible kitchenware, not to mention the clothing – but finding mom clothing can be a hit or miss. This Treillage Weekender is perfect for moms that have to travel a bit to get to their kids. It’s on-trend, perfect for spring, and it’s small enough to keep her from staying too long – just kidding, mother.

BECK album + Red Rocks tickets by Samuel Lang

If your mother is the hip, trendy and everything in-between type of gal, pick her up a copy of BECK’s latest album, Morning Phase ($12.99) at Denver’s own Twist & Shout Records. In addition to giving the gift of music, you can make this Mother’s Day gift an even more unforgettable experience by throwing in a pair of tickets to BECK’s recently added tour stop at Red Rocks Amphitheater this August 15th. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday, May 9th and will run you about $50 a piece.

It’s been more than a decade since BECK last headlined the world-renowned Red Rocks Amphitheater, so don’t miss out on an excellent opportunity to see BECK headlining what Rolling Stone has lauded as the best amphitheater in the entire United States.

Portable record player + noise canceling headphones by Alex Faubel

For the Vinyl-Junkie Mothers, Urban Outfitters boasts a massive selection of awesome portable record players in a variety of prints. This Mother’s Day, pair mom’s favorite record (do I hear some Earth, Wind & Fire) with a portable record player for only $160. Head over to the Urban at the Cherry Creek mall to check for availability.

If your mother loves to travel, needs some quiet time away from the ruckus of her brood or is just looking for a way to make her throwback R&B hits sound even better than before, grab her some noise canceling headphones. My favorite splurge brands are Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Canceling Headphones or the Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Canceling Earbuds (also $299 at Best Buy).
