Mother's day is just over a week away--here are some quick & easy deals to help you take care of mom

Just a quick reminder that Mother's Day is coming up quickly (next Sunday, May 10th)--got your card yet? Some small token of your love for mom all lined up? No?

Don't panic; there's still time. You can pick out a mother's day card from Hallmark's site--free!!--register as a user, pick a card and customize the text, and they'll mail it for you FREE if you use this link, and the code CARD4MOM at checkout.

If you'd like to send your mom flowers but fainted last time you called the florist for prices, surf on over to ProFlowers.com. You can get the arrangement pictured here--1 dozen assorted-color roses--with a box of chocolate and free vase, all for $19.99 (plus shipping).

Other good deals that might come in handy for Mother's Day: $10 off a purchase of $50, or $25 off a $100 purchase at Philosophy, use coupon code mothersday; and don't forget about the deal I mentioned a few days ago, 20% off and a free pearl necklace with purchase at Ice.com.

And if you're lucky enough to live close to your mom (mine's on the other side of the country, unfortunately), how about taking her out on Mother's Day? I'm a huge fan of OpenTable.com, an online reservations site that'll get you hooked up with the best restaurants in your area. You accumulate points for every reservation, and those add up to cash-back certificates to use on future dinners out. Not only will OpenTable give you precise availability for reservations, but you can also search for special Mother's Day deals and menus in your area.

You're now armed with all the deal-getting, money-saving information you need to treat your mother to a wonderful day. Now, sit up straight and then go clean your room.
