Is your mom the woman who has everything she needs? Then expand your imagination and think about what the mom who enjoys entertaining would want if cost was not a consideration. After all, mom deserves the best for all the hard work she put into raising you.

1. Viking Gas Range

2. A Hot Tub

She's on her feet all day making sure that every visitor to her home feels welcome and comfortable. Now doesn't she deserve a special place to unwind at the end of the day? There's nothing like a soak in a luxurious hot tub with relaxing water jets massaging away her fatigue. Add a butler to bring drinks to her while she's in it, and she'll believe you can read minds.

3. AeroGarden

Imagine always having fresh herbs ready to snip in your kitchen. Better yet, there's no dirt involved, and little attention required to keep these gardens going. If I didn't have cats that would eat my lovely garden overnight, I would have put one of these in my kitchen the minute I first laid eyes on it.

4. A KitchenAid Stand Mixer

I don't know what I'd do without mine. I have very few appliances on my counters, but my mixer is never stored away. If you're mom enjoys baking and she doesn't have one of these mixers, she will always appreciate the thoughtfulness behind this gift.

5. Body Lotions

I would also love a visit to a luxury health spa. A place where I can be submerged in aromatherapy treatments, receive instruction in the most painless way to stay fit, and learn to cook gourmet meals that come in under 200 calories. A mom can dream, right? In the meantime, a selection of her favorite scent body lotions can tide your mom over until the day the tickets for this trip arrive.
