your mom passed on her love of all things designer and, well, expensive. let it come full circle this mother's day and gift her with things that even she (the woman who has everything) probably hasn't gotten her hands on yet.
 audi here.
word is, palm beach ladies were the first social set to score the super-sleek audi
R8 (from $112,500). haute mamas driving these head turners may deign to cross the bridge and put pedal to the metal. with only 600, 2009 models manufactured for US buyers, the waiting list is already two years long. call
800.367.2834 for locations.

 oh, manolo.
mom's always looking for an excuse to head to NYC, so why not indulge her from head to toe? leave it to manolo to do the job. let her choose a pair in stock at the flagship store, and then for a mere 20 percent mark-up, customize those babies. the catch? a four-month lead time is in order. 31
west 54th street. between 5th and 6th. 212.582.3007.

 move over ponds.
what's a polite way to suggest that mom's skin may need just a bit of help in the dryness and elasticity departments? packed with seven prods, the la
mer miraculous beginnings set ($325) is the perfect way to indoctrinate mom into this beauty cult. available
at saks fifth avenue. 9700 collins avenue. near 96th. 305.865.1100.

 carry on.
the perfect tote is to women what the holy grail is to religion. the louis
vuitton neverfull tote ($735) is paradise found. its converts claim it really never does get full. you know how that classic monogram canvas manages to endure all sorts of abuse and still retain its lovely look. mom will no doubt adore it and may even let you take it for a test drive. 7687
north kendall drive. near palmetto. 305.667.4812.

 eye candy.
what woman doesn't want calorie-free, everlasting choco? the peter
anton candy box ($36,000) will have houseguests (and maybe even the resident pampered pooch) salivating. measuring 6-feet-by-5-feet, this half-eaten box of vibrantly-colored chocolates is healthier for mom. available
at galerie bertin-toublanc. 2534 north miami avenue. at NW 25th. 305.573.3554.

 table the issue.
no tabletop is complete without something handcrafted and infused with swarovski crystals. and what better resting place for that flute of champagne than this jay
strongwater ivy round leaf and vine table ($12,500)? you might want to include a set of coasters, too. don't want any water stains on this beveled glass top. available
at neiman marcus. 390 san lorenzo avenue. between 42nd and le jeune. 786.999.1000.
