This Mother’s day, get creative and give mom something relaxing. For moms that don’t have the time to visit a spa, give them the whole experience in one box! Carol’s Daughter has their Mango Melange Moment gift set, $40, with their moisturizing Shea Soufflé, Body Cleansing Gel, Eau de Toilette, and a loofah sponge. (The brand is a fave of celeb mom Jada Pinkett Smith). For her feet, get these soothing slippers $25, at uncommongoods.com, that are filled with flax seeds, peppermint and a blend of fourteen different herbs they are designed to massage and soothe your toes and soles. After all this pampering, mom will need some fluffy slippers to lounge around in. Try Ugg’s Fluff Flip Flop, $70, from Uggaustralia.com. The flirty slipper is extra cozy and a good spring substitute from her boots. Go the extra mile with Tracy Stern’s Eyeteas, $15, at jenniferkaufman.com. The 100-percent organic tea bags contain a soothing blend of chamomile, angelica root, lavender, and witch hazel to bring fast relief to tired eyes. For more great gift ideas for mom pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE.

We’ve been wondering when John Mayer was going to cut his hair for quite a while, and it’s finally happened! When Mayer showed up with girlfriend Jessica Simpson to the Met’s Costume Institute Gala on Monday night, we were torn between fixating on his new ‘do and her daring dress. But when we went solo to the Time Magazine 100 Most Influential People celebration, we could really get a good loook — his formerly messy mop of curls had been transformed into a slick and suave new look. Turns out that celeb stylist (and Sheer Genius guest-judge) Hershberger trimmed the singer’s mane into a neat, clean-cut shape at her Manhattan salon moments before he made his appearance at Monday night’s event. Did Jessica’s new look give the singer inspiration for one of his own? Tell us: What do you think of John Mayer’s new ‘do? Love it or hate it?

The best part of spring? Spring dresses! We couldn’t stop staring at how sweet Kylie Minogue looked recently in her Tibi dress and bright patent heels.  Though most of Kylie’s fashion is way out of our league — as in  museum-worthy — her bright day dress is actually available at  edressme.com for $288 (with a blue cast to the print). For her exact dress, call Sak’s Fifth Avenue in New York City at (212) 753-4000. For a cheaper version, try this flared geometric dress, $20, at forever21.com.

Perhaps it’s a sign that seasons have changed, but we can’t help but to have noticed that Jessica Simpson’s d’ecolletage has resurfaced in the past couple of weeks. After months of wearing baggy sweaters, turtlenecks and coats, suddenly her inner-Daisy Duke is showing. First there was this low scooped print dress in Los Angeles. Then there was the satin and lace look at the Pussycat Dolls show in Las Vegas. We were just about ready to chalk it up to location (When in Rome!), when she turned up at the Costume Institute gala in N.Y.C. wearing this sexy and revealing Roberto Cavalli halter dress. Wonder what’s up? Did someone tell Jess that she was looking too frumpy, or maybe she’s just feeling sexy this spring?
