Xmas gifts for moms?

[Abstract]

Well, being as I'm 15 I had to go cheap. But I think I did very well.

Early this year, October, we went to DisneyWorld for my mom's 50th birthday. She loved the trip. So I got her a picture frame with five places for pictures and put five pictures from the trip in there. She really liked DisneyWorld so I hope I did well. All under $20.

Otherwise my dad got her earrings and my sister (24) got her perfume, a crossword puzzle book, and something else that I can't remember.

Now I feel like a cheap ass compared to some of these posts. But then again, I don't have a job.

Perfect gift, man. You may be razzle-dazzled by the expensive gifts others got their mum or dad, but they'll forget who gave them their presents in several years, while yours is more personal and will stay with them for much longer.

I got my mum a Photobook via iPhoto like I do every year. She loves getting photos from me because I took them. She said she doesn't really want anything else because this gift is so perfect. She's like a proud mum hanging her son's crayon drawings on her fridge, except she puts my photobooks on the coffee table and on a shelf.

My mom's cell phone is dying, but she'll never accept it and go buy a new one, so that's what we're getting her. Oh, and I leave a bunch of little "Merry Christmas" notes around the house so that she'll smile every time she sees one

i'm getting her a 40" lcd hdtv. she asked for it, which i found quite strange considering she doesn't really watch television.

It's a great gift that will bring back happy memories each time she looks at it. Expensive gifts aren't necessarily the best or most thoughtful. I spoil Mum a little because I can afford to (and no-one else in the family can) but there's still a limit of around £300 that she really wouldn't be comfortable with me going over. I did once for her 50th birthday because I remembered years before she said she'd love a pair of good solitaire diamond earrings so I splurged for her 50th since I'd had a bonus at work and was feeling flush. She almost killed me... but she wears them regularly and loves them so it was worth it

How about dinner at a nice restaurant with you alone? I would appreciate something like that from my children. I mean no one else, just you two. It is nice to spend time alone with your children.

Ahh, that sounds so nice.

Thanks devilot, MrSmith, Abstract, and AppleSpider. I feel better now. I'll let you guys know what her reaction is tomorrow when she opens it.

Thanks again!

I ordered this print from France for my mom. My grandmere has this in her bathroom and my mom always wanted one. As a kid growing up in the good ole' south, it was always sort of shockingly cool that my "hauty, tauty, funny, hoot of a grandmother had this hanging up. But then, she's always had a mischevious twinkle in her eye!

It's a famous french replica translated to the "Duck after the Worm"

Not this year... She's out of town anyway... But last year I gave her a new phone, Black Moto RAZR.
