# 3 of 8:  Maid Service

Not having to clean the house is like getting a get-out-of-jail free card, which makes it a fabulous gift for Mother's Day. Check out your local housecleaning services (or a national one, like Molly Maid below) for prices. You should be able to get a decent, one-time visit for $100 or less. And it goes without saying that she'll appreciate it. Molly Maid, for example, will even clean the inside of the microwave (turntable included!). Makes an especially thoughtful gesture for a sister or a friend.
