It's time to show Mom some love. Mother's Day is Sunday, and instead of resorting to last-minute chocolates and flowers, why not try a local find that's as wonderful as she is.

Tree of Life necklaceYou'll have to special-order this charming design, which includes a birthstone representing each child's birth month, but it's worth the wait. Made by Liz Oie of Burnsville, the necklaces have recently been given to Tori Spelling with aquamarine (March), pearl (June) and opal (October) and Kourtney Kardashian with blue topaz (December).

$199 for silver and $230 for gold at shop.lovefeasttable.com.

Totes, T's and scarvesGive Mom flowers that will last for years. Local designer Sarah Nassif of Rectangle Designs prints bright blooms and botanicals on T's, scarves and totes. On her website (www. rectangledesigns.com), you can map out the exact location where Nassif found and photographed the original specimen that she used in the designs.

$14 for totes, $28-$32 for scarves and $38 for T's at Walker Shop, 1750 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls., 612-375-7600.

Smell sweet; feel greatForget perfume -- go local with this new line of artisanal products created by Nicole and Ryan Thuftedal. The handmade candles, soaps, lotions and sugar scrubs come in a range of light, fresh aromas including fig and sea salt, cucumber and rose, and lily and hyacinth.
