Good Birthday Gift for Mom?

ILoveChoo · Hermes

what about gift certificate for a massage? or a mani-pedi if thats cheaper?

NCshopper · Hermes

Oh geez, I can totally sympathize. My mom is impossible to shop for too!

I like the massage or mani-pedi idea. You could also get her a gift certificate to a knitting store near her or a cool knitting book.

Also, mom's like to spend QT time with their daughters. You might want to just get her a pretty flowers and take her out to lunch, brunch, or get a mani-pedi with her. Spending time with you would probably make her day.

That is exactly what I was thinking. You could also possibly get her a GC that she likes to eat at.

Yeah they are - I have become friendly with them - and everyone I give this gift to loves it. My mom bought ME a necklace and I was so flattered...now I want to get a charm that says mom - yikes!!

I kind of like the necklaces with the 3 charms--I'd love to get one that says "mother, daughter, love" or "mother, daughter, forever." Is that cute or hokey?

nunzi182 · Kate Spade

I'm trying to think of what to put on my moms and I think your ideas are great alb

I don't know which one I like more though!

alb · Marc Jacobs

I'm glad you like them, nunzi. Let me know which one you decide on!

I love the idea of the mother daughter love one!! Now I know what I am getting my mom for Christmas. I think that I'll get one for my sister and a bracelet for my niece too!!

Disclaimer: I know that I may sound crazy talking about Christmas already, but due to the fact that I have to buy for at least 14 people every year (not including the little gifts that I get for the kids in need here in Chicago) I have to start my shopping in September every year or I will totally send myself to the poor house!
