So what do you get the mom that seems to have everything???

[blindfoldedlady]

I never know what to get my mom for Christmas, so this year isn't unusual. We've gotten her jewelry (which she has PLENTY of), clothes....just anything we could think of. I swear, moms are the hardest to shop for!! At least my mom is. I'd also like to get my stepmom something special, because she IS my second mom, and I love her. Any original ideas, that aren't horribly expensive?? I've thought about getting my mom an ornament from Walmart, they sell them in the picture department, where they etch a picture in glass. But I don't know. And I have NO idea what to get my step-mom, she likes the simple things.

ANY IDEAS WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!! Thanks ladies!

EDIT: I forgot to add, I am NOT creative, unfortunately!

I never know what to get my mom either.  I can never think of anything original that I haven't bought her in the past.  Here are a few things I have gotten for her before:

-One of those digital photo frames.  I uploaded a bunch of pictures of the family onto it before I gave it to her.  You can get those for $50 and up, I believe.

-Fun board games, if your mom likes that kind of thing.  I have bought her 'The Game of Things', 'Loaded Questions', 'Apples to Apples', and a few others over the years...

-Spa at home items.  Ulta has a lot of nice stuff she can use to pamper herself.  I can't think of specifics off the top of my head but you can check out their website.  I know I got some Brookstone stuff from there and it was really nice.

And bump so I can see suggestions from some other moms! :)

We had this problem for Mothers/Fathers day for our parents, so I made them a CD with music and pictures of all the grandkids. They loved it, and they loved having something different that we put some thought into. I was wanting to do this for my grandma this year, but she just recently got a CD player and is still trying to figure out if it plays records lol.

my mom tells me she doesnt want anything...but you know when a woman says that she is really saying she wants something but she doesnt want to  tell you...lol...

Or buy tickets for both of you to go see a show if you have something nearby....I live in the Chicago suburbs and we have gone to see Les Miserables, Fiddler on the Roof, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, etc.....

I know Trans Siberian Orchestra is doing shows in my area and they have $25 tickets.  Check Ticketmaster to see if you can find anything good in your area.

I never know what to get my mom either, A friend of mine told me to go to walmart.com and the photo section they have all kinds of personalized gifts you can make and order and then go pick up at the store so i might do that this year!
