'90s gift ideas for a new breed of super moms

To keep up with the changes, it is now time to update those gift-giving ideas for Mother's Day. Here are some unconventional ways to honor mom.

For the mom who wants a thrill, a flight on a small-engine plane may be the perfect gift.

``We get quite a few calls every year,'' said Alexander Fabio, marketing director at Husta Aviation, located at Opa-locka and Tamiami airports. Its cost: $80.

For busy moms who may need a day of pampering, a visit to the spa is a good standard gift.

It's called the total Body Fango Spa of Tranquility on Bay Harbor Islands. For $65, workers apply mud from the neck down. After rinsing, workers apply a rich moisturizing cream.

``It's an incredibly rejuvenating and refreshing feeling,'' said receptionist Arleen Lauton. The Mother's Day Special is called the Tranquil Renewal, a two-hour treatment that includes a steam bath with oils, a sea-salt body scrub and a Swedish massage.
