Mother's Day on Sunday, May 12, is rapidly approaching. It's time to start thinking about what you're going to gift mom.

To find a present worthy of the woman who gave you life, you're going to need to go above and beyond picking up a cookie-cutter knickknack at the mall. She's a cool mom, and she deserves a cool gift.

Head to one of these artisan markets to pick out a one-of-a-kind treasure for mom that she'll love, or even bring mom along for a day of shopping together.
