At a certain point me and my folks and my siblings came to a conclusion.  None of us are children anymore, we're all reasonable adults and none of us have money to go throwing around.\n\nSo what we do is give each other stuff that we can actually use.  Rice, Toothpaste, Paper Towels...you name it.\n\nBut then there's the thing where you use up the "gifts" so what do you have to hang onto other than memories.\n\nThat's why we also do a scrapbook every year at Christmas.  We make one for each person, identical to the others and we make a video of it.  We just take pictures in duplicates, make photocopies and then get together for food, fun and making our little books.\n\nYeah it's kind of corny but I'd rather be corny than materialistic.\n\nPeace Be With You

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.

I'd get her something for a teacher but not an ornament or anything else related to Christmas since she's Jewish.\nTry http://www.teachergifts.com/  Or you could just get her a gift certificate to a teacher's store. That way she can get what she wants. She'd probably appreciate it because she probably ends up buying some supplies for the classroom with her own money.

Always difficult to buy for Mums, aren't they..?\nHow about a subscription to a birdwatching/gardening magazine &/or a portable chair for the garden that she can use for both of her hobbys...AND maybe source a plant that has a latin name like hers...easy to look up in the internet..\nHope she has a wonderful day - how can she not with a son like you??Ahhhhh!

buy them an amazon gift certificate " you pay the money ,amazon mail or email them the certificate, and your parents buy what ever they like from amazon with the amount of money you payed." see http://goodmanzone.tripod.com , they have good ideas for other Christmas gifts too.

Give her yourself for Christmas---spend time with her---tell her you love her----sit with her and look at old picture albums and let her tell you stories about the photos taken.\n\nYour mom needs nothing but YOU!

Tell her there is a huge sale at Strawbridges. \nor\nGo online, print out some coupons for the stores at the mall and then give them to your mom.

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.

Here's some ideas I'd thought I'd share:\n\nFor Mum\n- Spa treat\n- Bath and body gift set\n- Festive holiday slippers\n- Personalized jewelry\n\nFor Dad\n- Book that interests him\n- Massage cushion for his chair\n- Subscription to his favorite magazine\n\nIf you'd rather get them something more personal, create a scrapbook filled with pictures of you and your parents. It'll remind your parents of those sweet memories that you spent together.\n\nWhatever you get them, I'm sure they'll like it. After all, you're their daughter.\n\nGood luck! ;)

Get her a gift voucher!\nHow about a cd or dvd? Perfumes, perfumed candles, a nice t-shirt or a stuff toy are also cute gifts!

Depending on your budget... Get her a gift certificate to a clothing store that she likes.\n\nMaybe a personalized gift. check out this site\n\nwww.personalcreations.com

Get her a baby outfit and a sonogram pic from the internet.  Just when your mom is about to pass out say PSYCH! And give her what you really got her...one of those $9.99 mug and mini tea-bag sets from Walmart (the ones with the little winter scenes on the mugs).
