Tunes, videos, more

The Sansa Fuze MP3 player will give mom the gift of music when she takes a little down time. But this handsome and affordable player goes beyond tunes. She also can watch favorite video clips or photos on the 1.9-inch screen, listen to FM radio stations and audio books and even leave herself important notes via the built-in microphone. Smaller than a credit card and as thin as a pencil, the Sansa Fuze even comes with a MicroSD card slot to transfer images and videos to a computer, TV or printer. The internal rechargeable battery is designed to play up to 24 hours of audio and five hours of video between charges. It's available in several colors, including red, pink and black. Fuze comes with 2GB (500 MP3 songs), 4GB (1,000 MP3 songs) and 8GB (2,000 MP3 songs) capacities. It's available at most Best Buy stores and through www.shopsansa.com. Prices start at $79.99.

Powerful in pink

This handy tool kit by Apollo comes in bubble gum pink, so there's no way that mom's hammer and screwdriver will get mistaken for anyone else's. The kit, which includes a molded carrying case, features 135 pieces that should take care of just about any minor repairs around the house. It includes a 4.8-volt cordless screwdriver, 8-inch scissors, an 8-ounce claw hammer, four manual screwdrivers, pliers, a magnetic level and a 6-inch adjustable wrench. Some of the tools are made of carbon steel, and the pink tool handles are constructed of double-dipped plastic. Not only does this make a practical gift, but a portion of each purchase goes toward funding breast cancer awareness initiatives. It sells for $31.84 through www.amazon.com.

With sparking pen, write like a star

For the CEO mom, or the mother who takes writing her shopping list very seriously, this Montblanc Marlene Dietrich commemoration edition fountain pen could prove the ultimate — and most remembered — gift she ever receives. It's subtly designed to simulate a feminine silhouette, with a body and cap crafted of gleaming sterling. It also features mother-of-pearl inlays as well as a dark blue sapphire and six brilliant-cut diamonds. This gorgeous limited-edition writing instrument also comes with Dietrich's signature engraved on the barrel, and the nib is hand-crafted of platinum-plated 18-carat gold that's set off with a heart-shaped hole. It sells for $4,525 at Montblanc Boutique at Lenox Square, 404-231-4810.

Get cooking with a bit of France

The new Dijon French oven by Le Creuset will thrill any mother who enjoys cooking. Made in northern France of heavy-duty cast iron, this pan comes with integrated handles and a lid that weighs almost as much as a manhole cover, making it ideal for creating an impenetrable seal that keeps in moisture and heat. The new Dijon color provides a sunny accent to any kitchen. The French oven comes in four sizes and is dishwasher safe. Prices start at $175. It's available at Cook's Warehouse stores.
