Will she be going away to college or moving out into an apartment of her own? You could make her a hopechest type basket with essentials she'll need for living on her own. Say kitchen utensils, dishtowels and a cookbook for example. \n\nYou could also get her a small item that she can use now. I don't know what her interests are though. You can't go wrong with books or perhaps there is a dvd she may be interested in.

well the best gift is your self and your time.\n\nI am taking my mom to her fav restaurant that she will never go to herself because she thinks it cost to much (an its not really that bad)

That's so sweet!   If you'd just like to get her a gift related to angels, which I'm sure she'd love, below is the link for a really good website that specializes in angel products at reasonable prices.\n\nIf you'd like to do something a little more personal then how about writing her poetry and making it into a book?  I made my mom a book of poetry one year and to this day it is still the most treasured gift I've ever given her. I wrote all of the poems and really decorated the book nicely too. Or, you could write her one really good poem, perhaps about being your "angel", and either have it professionally penned in caligraphy (or do it yourself) and put some artwork with it and frame it.  It would make a beautiful, and personalized, picture.

You mother may like to spend time with you.....can you take her to lunch?.......and get her a small pin or earrings (if she has pierced ears).\n\nMost of all get her a beautiful card....or make one.....just to show your love.\n\n......My mom passed 4 years ago at 88....and she was the best!

A Mother's ring or bracelet is special--it is set with the birthstone of each child! As a mother, I'd LOVE one!\nThat said, does she like to cook? A good set of knives is a great gift, but pricey.\nDoes she have hobbies? Something for her hobby!\nTickets to a concert or show are great (even better if you go with her).\nCDs or DVDs?

I would get her a gift certificate to one of her favorite stores...that way she can get what she wants.

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.

Perfect mothers day gift??  That's kind of a tough question to answer considering not all mothers are alike.\n\nFor my mother, I believe the perfect mothers day gift would be to have all her kids and grandkids with her on this specific day, just being with her.\n\nAlthough, I'm sure she wouldn't mind a new car....\n\n;-)

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!!

Get her a Coach purse.  You will not be sorry.  Take her into the shop and see the one she gravitates to-then go back later and buy it for her.  Get the matching wallet if you can afford it.

not sure how old she is or how much you wanna spend  but - \n\na towel & washcloth set - you can get her initials on it in her favorite color - my gramma got me a taz set when i turned 18 washclothes and hair towel - i used it for years until it got lost during a move\n\na bedding set - bedspread dust ruffle comforter - something to match her room or her style\n\na fancy cell phone & case for it\n\na key ring, car seat covers, steering wheel cover\n\na nice wallet\n\nan ipod

Phone, music, picture frames, digital camera. Also get gift cards for your local mall. Then she can pick out some of her own clothes (but you can still get her some clothes too).  Also, is there anything she is into for hobbies? Go along those lines too. Good luck.....SAM

Spending time with her would be the best gift you could give her.  Take her out to lunch or dinner.  That will mean more to her than any gift you could buy.  You sound like a good son.

Something that you made yourself is always a good gift for your mom. For your friend, get her a spa treatment for after she has the baby, (and a good babysitter, lol) she will thank you :-)

I would go for something small and thoughtful, rather than "inexpensive".  If you talked with your FIL (father-in-law), I'm sure you could gather some quick information about the things she likes to do, her favorite cologne and such.  Maybe she's into crochet or knitting, then you could buy a pattern book and some yarn.  Or maybe she's into golf, you could get her some club-covers or some personalized golf-balls.  Or maybe she's into photography, you could get her a new camera bag.\n\nSome other, more general, ideas off the top of my head are:\n\nHallmark (or Wal-Mart, if you prefer) has some nice photo ablums, memory boxes and such.  \n\nA scrap-book starter kit with everything she needs except the photos to get started with scrap-booking.  \n\nA "frou-frou" bath set with bath crystals, lotion, soaps, ect.\n\nA gift certificate to a local salon for a manicure and/or pedicure.\n\nA robe and nightgown set.\n\nA set of mittens with a scarf and hat.\n\nIf all else fails, get a gift certificate for some place nice like "Bed, Bath and Beyond" or a nice restaurant as a couple's gift.
