Your mom and my dad would have gotten along famously. Dad was a manufacturer's rep who kept samples from EVERY account he ever repped (the Ronco samples will always be the prime example). A friend of mine once said, "If there were a nuclear war, my dad could open up a five and dime store. YOUR dad could open up a K-Mart."
We spent springs and summers moving the stuff up to the garage so he could organize the basement. We spent falls and winters moving the stuff back into the basement so he could park the cars inside the garage. There was always some massive organizational project at my house.
And, of course, I got some of his samples as a gift every year.

I recommend you buy your mom a gift box from http://tinyurl.com/5kouuq Hopefully, that will help...
