Apr. 30--Dads: If your child has a few precious dollars saved up, she may beg you to take her shopping so she can buy a Mother's Day gift. At one store in Bakersfield, $1 would be all she'd need.

Jane's Jewelers has ordered nearly 200 loose amethyst and citrine stones, ranging from one to five carats, to sell Monday through Saturday. The store's target audience? Children 12 and younger who want to spend their own 99 cents for Mom.
