What are you getting your mom for Mother's Day?

My Mom is on a very tight budget (she's mentally disabled) so I usually get her clothes, shoes, slippers,  some nice earrings, maybe a ring (she loves costume jewelry), perfume, lotions, body washes....things that she ordinarily couldn't afford herself.

Something consumable; something that's used up.  (No, I'm not thinking about a 12-pack of toilet paper.)  Fancy chocolates?  Some wonderful smoked salmon from the Pacific Northwest?  \n\nGift certificates for something she likes to do.  Does she like to eat out?  Does she like to go out with "the girls"?  Does she like to go to movies at an art theatre?  How about a season pass?\n\nA framed photo of you, or of relatives.  Something you make for her.  Do you write poetry?  A framed photo of you, with one of your poems in the frame.\n\nDoes she know how to use the computer?  Does she want to learn?  Could you teach her?  Are you nearby?  A coupon book of "free coupons" for her to use to call you up and have you come over and teach her computer use, maybe?\n\n(My mom just turned 90 and about five years ago my sister had the "brilliant" idea that Mother needed to be able to get email.  Mother did not want to do this, at all, and fought it all the way.  She is SO glad, now, that she made the effort and is learning this.  She needs a lot of support from the younger family members, though, to keep the computer going: virus settings updated, resolving email problems, and on and on.)\n\nWhat does she like to do, or what did she do when she was young that she hasn't done in a while?  Photography?  Art?  How about a gift certificate to a local six-week class?  Rekindle her old interests.\n\nShe'd probably just enjoy spending time with her grandchild.  Ever think of just bringing over a tape recorder, video recorder, or whatever, and asking her questions about her life and writing them down?  You'll value the time you took, later, and she'll love spending the time with you.\n\nDoes she garden?  Does she enjoy looking at a beautiful garden?  Could you offer to help her plant her garden in the spring, or help plant fall bulbs?\n\nOnce I refused to join my siblings in buying my mom "more jewelry" and instead brought over bulbs and planted them.  Her birthday is in November.  The bulbs still pop up every spring and she always tells me "oh, the tulips are up, and are so pretty."  As people age, seeing the flowers in the spring, or having that to look forward to, can keep them motivated to make it through another winter.  \n\nThink about who she is, what she loves, what she enjoys, and what would make her life even more enjoyable.  My mom loves the farm, her garden and gardening, and her kids.  Learning the computer has enabled her to keep in touch much easier with her kids, grandkids, and now great-grandkids, and soon, great-great grandkids!

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.

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.

Thats really sweet of you to want to get her something on your own.\nMost drug stores have cards and flowers so that would be a sweet thoughtful way of saying I was thinking of you. Moms no matter how wealthy want to know their kids love and appriciate them. A well picked card with a personal note can mean more then diamonds! My kids are to young to shop (12 6 and 3) but they always make me a card and raid their candy bucket for my favorite candy and present it to me. Yea i know i bought the candy but its so sweet that they always pick out what i like and not what they wont eat :D
