There are lots of ways to show Mom you care on her day this year. You can buy her flowers (unless she's allergic), give her Fannie May candies (unless she's on a diet), take her to the Olive Garden or if you're feeling really flush, maybe even the Walnut Room at Macy's (assuming you want to be crushed in with all the other kids and their mothers with the same idea), but if you want to give your mom a unique present that's not going to cause her to sneeze, gain five pounds or feel like just one of the crowd, why not adopt a dot for her? If your mother's an art lover - and really, who isn't - she'll love being honored in this way.


The Art Institute of Chicago will let you choose from six colors - three available as limited editions - that appear in Georges Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte,1884. Click here for colors, details, and the adoption form.


Dots also make great wedding, graduation, and Father's Day gifts. You can adopt 1 dot for $10, 3 for $25, or all 6 for $50!


Orders must be received by April 25 to guarantee delivery by Mother's Day, May 9. Adopt a dot today! Mom will know she raised you right!
