Mother’s
Day

HOW TO TELL
MOM YOU CARE

Be it ever so humble, the American ..
way to tell your mother that you really

care is with a gift on Mother’s Day. -

It doesn't have to be expensive, |. "¢

either, It’s the thought that counts. And

she wouldn't want you to spend all that“ "~§

money on her. Or would she?

A favorite gift of all moms is some-

thing that you, or one of the grandchil-
dren has made. Mom is sure.to appreci-
ate the effort as well as the result.

The most often chosen gift category, <.
accdrding to the Mother's Day Council, -

is something to wear: casual clothes,
sweaters, skirts and blouses, jewelry,
handbags, hatsandsoon,

if you think she prefers.to pick. out
her. own outfits, look to cosmetics as
surefire gifts. Expensive perfume (if
you can afford to be extravagant) or a
good cologne, along with bath talc,
some scented soap, maybe a makeup
kit,.or a day at a beauty treatment spa.

A whole different option opens up if
you know her cultural tastes. A new
CD of her favorite opera, symphony, o1
pop group is a sure-fire bet. Or try a
VCR tape of her favorite movie.

She's always been easy to buy for,
She loved last year's briefcase. Before
that, she was just as happy to get the
perfume, the personal portable stereo
and the coffee maker.

But this Mother's Day is different,
You've run out of ideas. It would be
nice lo come up with something new,
something she really. needs, But what?

Here's a practical.gift:idea that you
probably haven't thought-of: Give ‘her

For sports-minded moms, the scope
of possibilities is endless: perhaps any
one of many accessories for golfers,

maybe a new set of clubs or a golf -

glove. They al! have potential, If she's a
tennis buff, she may need a new racquet
or tennis skirt, A fisherwoman would
get a lot of use and pleasure from a new
pole, some new. lures, a tackle box, or
maybe a big-brimmed hat to keep the
sun out of her eyes...

There's always. candy for moms with
a sweet tooth. Or a bottle of her favorite
wine. Last, but not least, flowers or a
plant will appeal to her instincts for the
good life, the natural beauty of life
around her. And it's so easy to have
flowers delivered, even thousands of
miles away, by one of the many call
and charge-it floral delivery services.

A gift for mom is just another way of
saying you haven't.forgotten Mother's

Less-work app!

The more mothers who enter the
work force, the more demand there is,
and will continue to be, for appliances
that can help make chores less strenu-
ous and increase productivity.

Back at the turn of the century, when
Mother's Day was first observed, the
vacuum cleaner was little more than a
noisy plaything. The “carpet sweeper”
brushed up dust and crumbs with ques-
tionable efficiency, but even it was a
big step up from the broom! Can open-
ers were a hand-operated novelty (as
was canned food). Coffee was boiled in

. a pot, almost all day long. Cake, and -
~’ often bread, were baked from scratch.

Today’s mothers, even busier than
their forebears, have embraced the
technologies that have been mar-
shalled, over the past three generations,
to make it easier to do more with less
effort and greater satisfaction.

And not a bit too soon. With more
than 75 percent of today’s mothers
doing double-duty — as homemakers
and money-makers in the market place
— there's barely enough time and
energy to go around,

Brooms have been relegated to
sweeping up the sidewalk, Electric can
openers zip the top off a can with the
flick of a switch. Automatic coffee
makers drip out a pot of fresh, aromatic
brew while mom's still asleep, And
gourmet style. cakes and breads came
ready lo pop in Ihe oven Lobe eaten

the lifestyle mom leads. And you can
be sure that if it turns her labor at home
into helpful labors of love, she’ll be
forever grateful.

Does she have a toaster oven — a
handy counter-top cookery invention
that toasts, warms, broils, and bakes in
about a square foot of counter space?

‘Does she have a microwave oven,
that electronic marvel that roasts, broils
or sautes from scratch in about 25 per-
cent of the time required for stove top
or oven baking by conventional means.
(Almost 80 percent of American
homes today have one, speeding food
preparation while reducing the labor to
Just about nil.)

Today's battery-powered hand-held
beaters mix cake batters, omelets,
frozen drinks and vegetable juices all
with equal ease and store in the comer
of a counter, out of the way, but ready
for use.

Tick off the variety of labor-saving
appliances you can opt for: electric sand-

coffee grinders, food blenders and mix-

Until recently, there was nothing you
could do about this situation. But Slick
50 Engine Formula, which is now
widely available at auto parts stores, in

that 80,000,000 American mothers will!
be showered with 125,000,000 greeting

Ever since the 12th century, when the
French granted glovemakers the privi-

create ever more intriguing scents. ‘

For centuries, the gift of fragrance
has been associated with expressing

powerful way of expressing individual-

perfume available today is possible
because of special techniques for com-

with synthetic products. This process
provides a stability and staying power
for the fragrance. .

“The raw materials come from all
over the world, and often are rare or
difficult to harvest, The synthetic com-
ponents, which usually come from nat-
ural materials, greatly extend the
‘palette’ of scents, and make it possible
to create an endless variety of new and
unique notes,” Taylor explains.

The debut of the fragrance in the fall
of 1991 coincided with the celebration
of the 25th anniversary of the House of
Ungaro, and is considered to be an
extension of the designer's daring fash-

DIVA®, another Ungaro-created per-

fragrance that is well suited to the con-
