Write to her
Send your mom a love note or get her some fresh cards during Stationery Saturday at Luna Lux (1618 Harmon Pl, Mpls, 612-373-0526). For $29, you'll take home 10 monogrammed letterpress masterpieces with your choice of pretty botanical designs.

Feed her
For an elegant feast, make a reservation at Cosmos (Graves 601, 601 1st Av. N., Mpls., 612-312-1168). Take mom to Paris in the Midwest with a meal at Barbette (1600 W Lake St, Mpls, 612-827-5710) -- nothing says "I love you" like Grand Marnier French toast. If staying in (but not in the kitchen) is your mother's wish, pick up a frittata and greens from Lucia's ( 1432 W31st St, Mpls, 612-823-7125, call ahead to order a whole frittata).
