Last Minute Gift Ideas for Mother's Day!

Mother's Day is only a few days away. And you're probably pondering what to get the woman who seems to have everything?  


Before you sprint to Bath and Body Works for yet another body lotion-shower gel-and candle-gift set, here are a few last minute gift ideas:


Bonnie Marcus Collection: This fashionable paper line includes stylish notepads and pocket pads, perfect for shopping lists and simple reminders. The "Super Mom" notepad ($7.50) is my fave.


Doris New York hair products:  Move over Carol's Daughter, there's a new mother-daughter hair care team in town.  Made by New York Mom Doris Duperley and her daughter Marlene, these sweet-smelling, nourishing products for women of color can be used on both natural and relaxed hair and will give Mom's hair a healthy sheen. I'm a fan of the light-weight Hair Cream ($15). Get free shipping on your first order!


Charmed Circle jewelry: This new celebrity adorned line includes charm bracelets, personalized letter necklaces, love capsules and engraved love letters that carry special secrets and sweet messages. My pick is the "Words to Live By" Bangle ($130-$160).

As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and
