What gift can I get for my mama after I've gotten her everything?!
Question: I really don't know what to get her this year. I can't come up with anything else. I've gotten her stuff from Bath and Body Works, clothes, shoes, jewelry, things for her bed, flowers, perfumes, I've even made her CDs. Last year I went online and got her a personalized Bible and one for my stepfather too (God knows I need one with my evil self, lol.) I already told her that I couldn't top that, ain't no way. She told me not to try because its the thought that counts. I hate to get someone the same thing year after year, especially my mama. My sister told me I should get something that she can hang on the wall in her house. I already made her two gospel CDs and bought some perfume, but I don't know what else I can get. My mama is the type of person where I could just say Merry Christmas and she'd be happy. So I want to get her something else really nice. I was thinking I would throw in a Christmas card because she loves little things like that, but I need something else too. Suggestion?

Find a picture of you and her when you were a little kid. Have a copy made in black and white, or blow it up to a larger size or something similar. Find a nice wooden frame that would look nice hanging on the wall in her house. Write a heartfelt message to her on the back of the frame (on the backing). I'm sure almost any mother would love to receive a gift like that!
How about a gift cert for a nice restaurant or a Bed and Breakfast?
She might like a picture of her family to hang on the wall.
WHAT DO U GET SOMEBODY WHO HAS EVERYTHING?......A GIFTCARD TO THEIR FAV STORE SO THEY DO THEIR OWN SHOPPING.
Maybe next year, all the kids could chip in to send your parents on a weekend getaway in a nice hotel.
As a mom, I can tell you what she would probably love is an evening out with you alone. Take her to a play, a movie, whatever she likes, and take her to dinner. Talk to her about your day and your life, and listen to her talk about hers. It's a gift she'll treasure always.
I feel your pain, we have the same problem with our mama what do you get the woman that has everything I mean everything. We got her some crocs, cause they're comfy, a John Lennon t-shirt, and a new recliner.
Good Luck though!
I bet your mama would love it if you stopped giving her material items of which she undoubtedly has a houseful by now, and did something for her like set up a weekly visit for lunch or to help her out around the house. Give her a gift card for the grocery store, or something that she can and will definitely use.
maybe a gift card for a hair salon,or for her nails to be done.mom and dads are tough to buy for.
why dont you give her a gift voucher or get an ornament of her favourite animal or something that she really likes. merry xmas
First Choice:
A gift certificate at a local SPA She'll love it!
She could use it to get facials, manicures, hair cuts, neck massages etc........ She will have that special treatment
anytime she needs a little time for herself.
Second One:
"A Juice Extractor" if she doesn't have one yet.
They are a treat! not only will she be able to enjoy delicious
fresh juices anytime she wants but, it also will be very good
for her health (get the ones that are really easy to clean).
Good Luck! (Don't forget to buy a fruit basket to complement it), give her lots of hugs and kisses and tell her how much you love her. She will have a very happy Holiday!
Merry Christmas!
the card is a really good idea... I like the commercial on TV, I can't remember what store it's for, but the son is looking for a present for his mom and ends up getting a suit for himself and he looks really nice for her on Christmas day... she is really surprised and happy with how he looks... but has to rip off the price tag of the back of the suit... point being it doesn't always have to be a material gift for her to make her happy... do stuff around the house to take stress off of her... as a mom, that would make my day... the card, a mushy one, too and you're set
What about a personalized calendar for 2008?
They make them at Kinkos...
Make the calendar with treasured family pictures from when you where a child until the present.
Also, maybe you could write her a letter reflecting on the relationship you two have!?
IDK.
Hopes this helps!
Also, maybe she would enjoy some sort of bible versus email subscription....one that tells the versus and leaves the reader with a question to reflect on the message.
u got nice ideas here....a steal...lol. well, you could give her a ring that says "mum" with diamonds on it. or a watch with diamonds...jewelry, i think every woman loves jewelry.....anything with diamonds...it's never enough.just make sure you have it personalized with say her birthstone
