If Mom is a frozen yogurt fan, you're in luck. A Mother's Day freebie means she can have 6 ounces of yogurt or sorbet plus toppings on the house at TCBY.

"No strings attached," vows TCBY's interim Chief Executive Neal Courtney in a news release.

The deal is being offered at the more than 400 TCBY locations nationwide. (You can check the location nearest you to make sure it's in on the fun.)

According to TCBY, mothers who pop in can get "all flavors of yogurts and sorbets, any toppings combinations and all 'Super Fro-Yo,' " which is what the chain calls its offering with fiber, protein and active cultures.

If steak and seafood are on Mother's Day wish list, McCormick & Schmick's is offering complimentary chocolate truffles for moms with brunch or dinner. If Fleming's is more up your alley, moms who dine at the restaurant on Mother's Day will receive a $25 gift card for future use (you have to come back by June 15).

Also, Red Lobster has had a daily $50 gift card giveaway this month. Check out the restaurant chain's Facebook page.
