What is everyone getting their moms for xmas? I have everyone in my family done, except my mom. She always seems like the hardest one to buy for.

This year she's getting a funky marble cross pendant, which an ebay seller sent to my husband with a bracelet he ordered for himself as an unexpected "gift with purchase." Since neither of us would wear it, Mom's getting it.
DH bought a new iPod so I'm loading his old one with a bunch of Beatles and Santana and whatever, and giving that to her. She was looking for a generic MP3 player but I figure this is a better choice.
Other than this I'll probably get her a couple of shirts or a sweater, or something accessory-ish. That's the plan for Sunday - shopping for mom.
my mum never usually gets around to having her photos developed, so i'm making her a photo album of pictures from a family holiday to italy a few years ago, a cruise she went on with my dad, and when she went home to malaysia and singapore to visit her family recently.
My mom and dad celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary 2 years ago and instead of getting prints she opted for a disc with all the pics that way she could get her own pricing on enlargements and such.....um I promised to get all the prints for her and never have gotten around to it. I'm going to surprise her with a fancy wedding album and ALL her wedding prints inside and a huge print set in a fancy frame. I cant wait to see the look on her face!
I got my mom a moonlight path gift set, some aloe socks, some rooms sprays, and a cute lambie sachet set from bath and body works and some books. For my mother in law I got a penguin cookie jar, some perfume, and a set of monogrammed hand towels.
