Mother's Day 2012 Gift Guide: Shop Local

It's less than four days away, and Mother's Day will be here before you know it. Which means there are really less than three days to find that special gift to give mom this year. That's where we hope we can help.

These items are crafted, sold and offered locally. Some of which are even available for purchase on Etsy.com, so not only can you find a great gift, but it helps support local business too.

Another easy way to organize your gift ideas is through the website Pinterest. Pin your favorite items, share them and help represent the 95628.

Scroll through our slideshow to get info on each item. In no particular order here are the items and more details below.

Mother's Day brunch tends to be a staple for many families. Here are a few that will have special deals going on in celebration of the day:

•  will present a brunch with special entreés from 10 a.m. till 2 p.m.
•  will also have brunch with chef specials from owner Gerard Robert from 8 a.m. till 3 p.m.

Don't forget flowers, either. Fair Oaks has plenty of options in that department, too:
