OrganicJen Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 What are you giving your mom for the holidays? I need ideas and inspiration. I used to send her a beautiful bouquet of flowers but now she says her cat would mess with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The only gift my mom wants are restaurant gift cards. She and my stepdad love to go out to eat but they have a limited budget. I buy her $100 of her favorite restaurant and she can eat 4 times I think. I know my sister also gives her cards. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Element Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Echo Dot, nice hiking socks, hand lotion, fancy tea. My mom is super easy; I just buy her a bunch of little stuff I wish someone would buy me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I made her a lap quilt with chickens on it (she has a mini farm). My sister got her a bunch of hunting and fishing gear. My other sister is buying her ammo. Where as my children are getting me gift cards from fabric stores or (I hope) a pair of fuzzy indoor boots. My point is that it's really going to depend on the mother. It sounds like in the past you've gotten your mom something pretty that is just for her to enjoy. I'd look for something that similarly fits that definition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 For my stepmom, she commented on a fabric star tree topper I made, so I am sending her a copy of the pattern, the stabilizer stuff you need, and a gift card for a fabric shop local to her so she can choose fabric for it. For my MIL, she loves dachsunds (sp??) and had recently been asking for a smaller purse to carry; when I was at the Quilt Festival in November I found a really nice leather purse with a dachsund riding a scooter. Super cute and she'll love it! We're also giving her gift cards for a restaurant. For my mom.....no idea. She asked for piano key bookends, which I cannot find anywhere. She also comments on my toilet paper roll holder every time she's here, so I might just get that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those "wavy keyboard bookends" are the exact ones she showed me, but I hadn't found them anywhere (she saw them on FB, not via a shopping link...). Looked them up on Amazon as "wavy keyboard bookends" instead of "piano key bookends" which was getting me nowhere, and voila, found them for the same price! Perfect! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 My mom is poor. I send her money. I think she plans to pay her electric bill with the money this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 a butter dish (she wanted me to save the cover from a plastic container so she could use it, but I just got her a new one) a gift card to Olive Garden (with my dad) my husband's newest CD (I have no idea if she and Dad will play it, but I needed something to give her) homemade caramel apples dipped in candy, if I can make them tomorrow and send them out in time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
