About this list:

This Mother's Day, give her what she really wants: a swank cocktail hour, complete with grown up music and a beautiful dress. Mix her a martini, crank up the jazz, and shower her with gifts. After all, she's earned it.

Anthropologie Cubism Dress

First to recommend

Description

This Mother's Day, skip the Sunday brunch and give Mom what she really wants: a swank backyard cocktail party. But remember that happy hour isn't really happy unless you've got the right dress. This strapless cotton poplin dress is bright and bold and MACHINE WASHABLE. Oh baby.

Wear with a cardigan and some fabulous espadrilles, or on its own with your dainty metallic flip flops. And don't forget the suncreen.

Veranda Acrylic Martini Glass

First to recommend

Description

The best springtime cocktail parties take place outside, in the early evening, with the kids running in the sprinklers and the adults lounging on the porch. Take these fabulous acrylic martini glasses outdoors and eliminate the worry of broken glass before dinner.

Mix up a standard martini or a cosmopolitan for Mom. It's what she really wants.

Misto Martini Vermouth Sprayer

First to recommend

Description

I love a good martini, in large part because I love martini-related barware. The glasses! The shaker! The pitcher! The mister!

Wait, you say, the MISTER? Yes, the mister. Fill with dry Vermouth, spray across the surface of the gin (or vodka, if you must) and serve. With a twist of lemon, please.

(Also, you DO know not to shake a martini, don't you? Keep your liquor in the freezer; use the martini shaker to make iced coffee. Trust me.)

Pottery Barn Solano Pitcher & Ice Bucket

First to recommend

Description

Oh, Pottery Barn, it's like you can hear me wishing: "This tall, slim 42-oz. pitcher comes with its own glass wand, for those who prefer their martinis stirred rather than shaken."

Of course.
