Excitations.com, a company offering unique, exclusive and affordable gift experiences knows exactly what your mom wants, and more importantly, what she doesn't want.

You can't afford to make a mistake. Excitations.com has a list of the 10 worst Mother's Day gifts, and suggestions to keep you from spending Mother's Day in the doghouse.

10. DVD box set of Angela Lansbury's "Murder

She Wrote" Excitations suggests letting the sleuth in her solve her own mystery on a murder mystery weekend where secrets, suspects and mysterious motives emerge and she'll get a bed with clues. 9. Early Bird Dinner at the Local Buffet Excitations suggests mom would prefer becoming a bird's eye witness and embarking on a rapture capture photo shoot, photographing birds of prey up close and personal. 8. A floral bouquet that suspiciously matches a missing clump of flowers from your neighbor's yard Excitations suggests your mom's (not to mention your neighbor's) appreciation will blossom with a unique flower arranging party for her and seven guests to explore the art of floral design with a local design expert. 7. Botox Party Excitations suggests skipping the needles but keeping the party with an in-home wine tasting for her and up to nine friends. Explore, taste and enjoy six distinctive wines, selected and served by an expert sommelier. 6. An entry form for TLC's What Not To Wear Excitations suggests mom might prefer trying on new clothes without being watched by millions of viewers. Instead, give her a private shopping tour with her very own personal fashion stylist. 5. Re-gifted potholders from Aunt Edna Excitations commends your commitment to recycling, but suggests your eco-friendly mom would prefer a flat water kayak tour where she can enjoy earth's natural beauty. 4. Elastic waistband pants Excitations suggest letting her expand in a whole new way with an introduction to glass blowing where she'll fire up the furnace and experiment with molten glass. 3. A copy of "The South Beach Diet" Excitations suggests mom will prefer a view of the beach from on top of a surfboard as she receives a private introduction to the fun, exciting and spiritual world of surfing. 2. ThighMaster Excitations suggests that instead of mastering her thighs, mom would prefer to try her hand at a cocktail master class for two. Whether it's mojitos or martinis, margaritas or a Mai Tai, she'll forget about her thighs while mixing hip cocktails with the flair and finesse of a pro. 1. Nothing at all Excitations suggests even a minimal effort will put a smile on her face. Send a handwritten note, take a walk in the park, or promise to mow her lawn. With this budget, you are going to have to provide your own experience -- but she will love it! About Excitations (http://www.excitations.com)/
