Anyone have any good gift ideas?

I've already done flowers, spa gift cards, dinner and a show, golf gift cards (my parents are avid golfers), and everything you would normally associate with Mother's Day. Anyone have any interesting, different gift ideas?

All of those are awesome. I always love the spa gift cards. Is there a clothing store she likes? Maybe a card to one of those?

My kids usually hook me up with a bottle of booze and a pack of smokes.

How about a dime bag, danmag?

I keep hinting around for that, but no such luck.

I guess I'll just get a few boxes of this and call it a day. Thanks, ladies.

Sent my mom one of those fruit bouquets last year. She loved it. Shared it with all the little old ladies in her retirement village an d they all went to BINGO and fruit farted through the whole night.

So, it smelled like a Skittle factory up in BINGO?

My sister and I wanted to get a gift basket for our mother for Mother's Day last year, but since she doesn't really like sweets and the baskets from Hickory Farms don't have wine, we put together our own basket. We got cheeses, summer sausage, crackers and sauces from Trader Joe's, a bottle of wine, and a basket to hold them all from Target. and it wound up being a lot cheaper than a Hickory Farms basket.

gives, I did something similar for my brother for Christmas. Making baskets are a lot of fun, cheap, and you can really personalize it. My brother likes pop corn and exotic coffees so it was a bunch of stuff related to that.

I'm actually flying in for a surprise visit that morning. My brother and sister-in-law are going to pick me up and bring me to the restaurant that my grandmother always makes a reservation at for Mother's Day. I know that me showing up completely unexpected will be a far better present for my mom than anything I could possibly go and buy.

My sister is taking my mother this years for Mother's Day (she lives out of town). So, in a weird way, I am getting a great gift for Mother's Day!

Photo gifts are usually a hit. Digital photo frame pre-loaded with a card full of photos has been a hit for everyone I've given it to for any occasion. Also photo calendars and photo puzzles are quite popular. I do a photo calendar for my entire family every Christmas and there are websites that can do puzzles ranging from 100-1000 pieces. Photos are a great way to personalize a gift, especially for family, and with digital photos so popular now, it's very easy to create something unique to the individual and receive it quickly.

Do what I do....I tell her that "every day is mother's day" and to clean her room.

Hm, the idea of a basket sounds pretty fun.
