And she would love to receive this thoughtful gift of quality and taste. We have chosen the Hobo International bag as a best gift for Mother’s Day 2010.

What gets a gift onto our list of the best gifts for Mother’s Day? It must be unusual or have lasting value. It must be sentimental or traditional. It must be high quality or exceptional. It must make mom’s life easier or more enjoyable. Those are the main qualities of the gifts on our list. We have put Hobo International bags on it because of their quality construction, exquisite design and quirky, but functional style.

Hobo International was found in Annapolis, Maryland, in 1991 by Toni Ray. The history goes that Ray had spent nearly thirty years as a senior designer and buyer with Georgetown Leather Design, a well-known chain of luxury accessory boutiques before she left in 1989 to work as a freelance designer and retail consultant. Ray’s design philosophy evolved into a perspective that women’s accessories should be both stylish and practical. She believed that fashionable handbags with everyday functionality filled an unmet need in the marketplace and she applied her vision to a new line with own label. Hobo International was born.

Hobo handbags are pure quality. They combine the class and durability of leather with functional form and features. But the most appealing aspect of Hobo handbags is that they are fun. Their shapes and colors are lively and unusual. That makes Hobo handbags an indulgence that mom probably wouldn’t buy for herself. And that makes them all the more special.

The bag we have chosen is the Paulina Florence leather shoulder bag. It comes in 9 trendy, sometimes frivolous colors. Step mom out of her comfort zone and choose a handbag in a color she would love, but her practical self would probably never let her buy. Every time she slips that magenta bag over her shoulder,she will smile and thank you for indulging her crazy side while giving her something she will use for years to come.
