Help- what did you get your Mom?

[cowboyjoe]

I got my Mom an amazon giftcard to buy a books for her Kindle. Her and my dad do a lot of driving. I also got her a framed photo of her and my dad on the last vacation we took with them and a cookbook.

I got my mom some hand lotions from l'occitane and am then getting her and my dad a gift card for dinner out. That's what she asked for.

I am a big reader so I often give my mom books I loved and know she'll enjoy as gifts. This year I got her The Night Circus and 11/22/63. I also got her a vegetable peeler and storage canisters for the kitchen (hers suck, she hates them but has not gotten new ones in years and years).

My parents are hard to buy for.

I bought 11/22/63 for my parents (1 copy to share, they will both enjoy it) and also for my BIL and my grandma (so I bought 3 copies, lol). I feel funny giving all three of them the same gift but I think they'll all enjoy reading it!

I also got my parents a JustGive donation card. They didn't want anything and I couldn't think of anything else good to give them. I could probably come up with 20 small things for my mom but my dad? Nothing, so I give them a joint gift.

I'm impressed by the generosity in this thread and now I'm second guessing if I should have gotten my mom other stuff too!

Chocolates and fancy soap.

iPhone 5 so she can FaceTime with the baby.

Ha! It's a really good book. And I lied by omission in my post--the copy of 11/22/63 is actually going to go to both my mom and dad. I think they'll both enjoy it as well.

I got her clothes and a photo of her grandkids.

If she is good with her ipad, maybe an accessory? I just got my dad a plug in card reader so he can upload photos right on the ipad. It was only $5 on amazon.
