Cinco de Mayo T-shirtCinco de Mayo is today, and did you know that it's not Mexico's independence day but celebrates an important military victory over the French in 1862? And did you know that Gifts.com has a few dozen great Cinco De Mayo-related gift ideas? Granted, Cinco De Mayo is not your most gift-able holiday, but aside, from being a great excuse to have a few margaritas and down a burrito, this day is as good as any to highlight a few upcoming, VERY (read mandatory) gift-able occasions.

First, Mother’s Day is this coming May 10th. It’s certainly not too late to pick out something for mom. But don’t wait for the last minute. One idea? Get mom a beautiful arrangement of flowers right now delivered to her door, so you won’t have to scramble Sunday morning at the supermarket. We’ve got a great selection- the grocery store does not.

And don’t look now, but Father’s Day is just around the corner on June 21st (it will be here before you know it). Lucky for you, we have something for every type of dad. Just imagine, in about 10 minutes from now you can have your Mother’s and Father’s Day shopping done. What are you waiting for?

And lastly, you may know someone who is graduating in the next month or two. As we know, Graduations are both endings as well as beginnings. Honor the deserving graduate in your life with a thoughtful gift that honors their achievements or prepares them for the future.

Donna Karan Love Forever MugWhen is a mug a work of art? When it's a celebrity-designed, ethically produced, charity-giving mug by Whatever It Takes.

More than 300 actors, musicians, artists and designers have donated their time to create these small symbols of hope, with each mug raising money for the celeb's chosen charity. Like style maven Donna Karan and her Love Forever Mug. The white china cup features Karan's pink self-portrait and a Love Forever print, with proceeds going to Spirituality for Kids.

I think this one makes a lovely Mother's Day gift, but with so many to choose from, you can easily give according to the cause that suits your friend or loved one best. And isn't giving back what it's all about?
