What do you think I should get my mom for Mother's Day??
411009
I usually get my Mom a candle, and some kind of jewlery or gift card. Last year I went with my Father and little brother and we picked out a bracelet, and had it customized just for her.\n\nOther times I've given her gift cards to her favourite stores(she loves shopping) or treated her to dinner/lunch to whatever she wants. She's expensive sometimes, but she's my Mom.. \n\nSometimes the simplest gifts, like a candle or something are nice though.

You sound like such a thoughtful person! You also seem very well-spoken. You should write her a poem or a nice letter telling her why you appreciate and love her. You could make a frame for it, or if you have a tiny bit of money, you could buy a premade frame at a craft store for under $3 and decorate it.\n\nYou could also take a picture, or have a picture taken of you and siblings/pets/dad/other important family member.\n\nI am almost 26 and my mom still prefers the handmade gifts, even when I have money to buy her something nice.

I feel the same way about my mom!  She and I are like and we both like clothes.  My mom's favorite store is Chico's (upscale clothing for women).  I like giving gifts she really like or want.  I try to pay close attention for subtle hints or just in general what she like or is into at the time.  I always give her a second gift whether it is some type of gift basket that "I MAKE" of her favorite things (a special personal touch) -- candles, lotions, perfume, a framed picture of my children, tickets to the movies, etc.  The basket is a mixture of different things she like.

The best gift you could give her is your time, a shoulder\nto lean on, a ear to listen and love her.  No object could \nbe as personal and those things she can take with her and\nyou can keep those memories in your heart forever.  Keep a journal and ask questions about her life that only she can answer and one day that journal will mean so much to you.  I am sorry to hear about your Mom, my Mom died August 2005.

Sure thing...start talking to her! Ask her questions? This shows an interest!!! I know this may be hard, but Find a common interest. Share a need, like a good laundry mat? grocery store? restaurant? recipe? Next talk about your Mom in a positive lite please! Make sincere complements! Ask her what kind of movies she likes and be prepared to ask her out to see one...ask her to a high school football game...Cheap and lots of fun with pizza date afterward!

These ideas are some from gifts my husband has given me, or I have heard of from other women, or things that I want :)  So maybe they will help you imagine what would work for you!  :)  This is kinda fun!! lol\nA ticket for a weekend for two at a romantic Bed and Breakfast\nA check for her to use for her - only her - for personal things and clothes.\nI would love very very nice pajamas with a matching robe (but if she is a mother with young kids she probably would want something more practical)\njewelry - the best, of course, or the best that you can afford.\na jewelry cabinet - they are the big ones that are like mini dressers - the run from 99. to over 400.  It holds alot of jewelry!\nA special piece of furniture - an antique rocker, antique hope chest - I would personally love it if he bought something from an antique store but she might prefer new things.\nwhatever her hobby might be - give her somethign that is really cool in her realm of hobbies - like very nice easel for painting, or new oil paints and expensive sable brushes, or waterpaints, or a gift certificate for her favorite hobby store.....  this would work for me but not all women and you would know if it would work for your wife!  \nplane tickets to a warm beautiful place for a vacation for the two of you for sometime in January!  wow -THAT would be cool!\nI know that I buy myself stuff through out the year but when Christmas comes - I want something I wouldn't normally buy myself, something seen as extravagant, something that makes me feel like I am really special to the person that bought it for me.  \nA special gift from an antique store just melts my heart.  That means that it is more than likely one of a kind and really specially chosen for me.   But if she doesn't have those same feelings then she might think it's junk and that you were cheap! yikes!\nAnother thing is if she has shown any interest - you could call your local university and see if the adult ed classes are having dancing lessons and you could sign you and her up for a few weeks of dancing classes.  The classes all over the U.S. are filling up with people who have never danced before who want to learn.  My husband and I went last summer and while we probably flunked the classes, we laughed the whole time we were in the class and had a great time!  It was a lot of fun!\nYou can also ask a female relative or one of your wife's best friends what she might be wanting and what they think.  Not knowing your wife makes it hard for me to answer, but on the other hand I am telling you things that might be new and different, too.  :)\nVery best of luck to you and your wife is really lucky to have a thoughtful (and early!) husband!!

Clean your moms purse out....that always worked for me. Just don't tell her ahead of time, she'll like the surprise. Oh, and don't forget the wallet!

Honestly the best gift your mom could get would be a huge hug from you and hearing you tell her that you love her and you think she's the best!  Tell her you appreciate everything she does for you and you know how hard she works to get you what you need.  But watch out, 'cuz she might start to cry.\n\nAt any age, mom's love getting homemade gifts.  Make her a card and draw her a picture of you and her together.  Since you are 15 she might be thinking that she's loosing her little girl because you are growing up.  Remind her that you are and will always be her little girl, and I garontee she will love it!

The letter & the photo ideas are nice ones. As a mother, I can tell you that the best presents are always those that come from the heart. They needn't cost much (if anything at all). just so long as it's given with all the love you have for your mother. My daughter has given me "World's Best Mum" certificates & stuff like that, but the best thing ever from her, was a photo of her at her school prom with a poem that she'd writen herself, about how she felt about our relationship. Stuff like that is totally unique, a keepsake, memories that you can look back on with love in years to come. Give her something that shows how much you love her - I know she'll be more pleased with that than if you spent loads of money on something that any daughter could buy for her mother.

Get tickets for something to do together or for her and your father.  A play, a concert, a bike tour, a gym membership, an art exhibit, manicures and pedicures, an imax movie, etc.  She might have a lot of things or be very picky about her things, but she loves you and she would most likely be very touched that you got something for the both of you to do together.  If that's not your thing, think about a hobby she truly enjoys and perhaps get something to go with it.  For example, my mom knits, so one year I bought her some really beautiful wool online from a farm in Vermont and a pattern for a pretty sweater that I thought she would like.

buy a nice card and then make some "vouchers"(paper, colored pens) and have them say things like, "I will do dishes", "i will cook dinner". anything that you can do that will give your mom a well deserved rest from her never ending chores. only do things that you wouldn't ordinarily do. this only costs the price of a card, but you could alway make the card too. i'm a mom and i would like this as my buttheads, oops, i mean kids never offer to help me unless i ask and then it's iffy. you can tell her that all she has to do to redeem her "gifts" is to give you a voucher. the vouchers could always be generic and say ie."any chore" and then she can choose.

Try not to get too personal, it might scare her off. A gift certificate is kind of crude, it's basically the same as cash. Maybe a nice dinner, some flowers (not too extravagant, but not something you'd get your mother either), and a small gift.\n\nIdeas: teddy bear, chocolates, a spa-type gift basket with stuff she can pamper herself with (most drug stores sell those at a reasonable price), or something practical that pertains to her life like a travel mug with a gift certificate from her fave coffee shop or with a bag of good coffee. \n\nThings to avoid: lingerie, jewellry, pets, cash, books and/or music (until you know her tastes really well), blank journals, clothes, poems or songs (until at least 6 months) etc. \n\nGL!
