Does your mom put everyone else before herself? Treat her this year with a present she'd never splurge on just for her

We don't know the exact definition of "mother," but we're pretty sure the word "selfless" is in there somewhere. Moms always seem to put their kids first -- and themselves dead last.

While we should appreciate our selfless mothers every day of the year, Mother's Day gives us an extra chance to say thanks. For all the time spent securing the bedroom from "monsters," giving advice on everything from math homework to boyfriends, and showing us unconditional love -- even when we've royally messed up.

This year, we rounded up all the gifts your mom will really love -- really beautiful, but useful, beauty products that she'd never buy for herself. These eight Mother's Day gifts are the ultimate in pampering: wonderful smelling, beautifully packaged, and worthy of a place on your mom's bathroom vanity. She'll love them all -- and the message behind them: that you want your mom to feel as loved as you do.

No wonder why mothers won't buy these items with the prices! Why couldn't there be some realistic items with realistic prices! Horrible

I'm drooling over these very pricey products!! The gold illuminator looks so amazing.

I already got my mom a Sling Adapter so that she can watch TV on her iPad while she’s away from home, but I think she would love the Guerlain L’or Radiance. I like that it mentions that it tightens facial features, and since it’s gold infused it sounds like it will truly make her glow more radiantly than she already does! Looks like if I get her this and the Sling Adapter that I’m getting from Dish where I work, I’ll still have enough money to take her out to brunch.
