What to get for a parent who has everything?

Q. I'm having trouble with gift ideas for my mom. We're celebrating Christmas later than the 25th, so I still have time, but I'm struggling. My mom has everything. I always end up getting her the same thing because I never know what to buy. It usually has something to do with wine or perfume of some kind. The biggest obstacle comes from the fact that my mom and stepdad living in Bogota, Colombia, meaning any kind of gift that would be like a massage or something is out of the question. I've already designed coffee mugs for them since they're avid coffee drinkers but I know I need to get something more than that.

Does anyone else have an idea of something sweet and simple that isn't over done? I'm a college student, too, so I don't have that much money to spend.

Thanks!

A. Does she like to read? If so, how about a favorite book that you liked and include a hand made bookmark. It would be like sharing time together and she would also have a piece of you.


What do I get for my new mother in law for Christmas?
Q. My new husband has just handed over the responsiblity to me of getting a gift for his mom, 6 days before christmas! Eye yi yi! Does anyone have any gift ideas for a in her late 60's women who has everything and I don't know too much about. Any generic cool gift I may not have though of, any suggestions appreciated!
Merry Christmas!

A. you should ask your new husband, if he is giving you the responsiblity of getting the gift, he could at least give you some ideas. if he isn't willing to help, get a gift basket of things she likes. or some tickets to a play or something. it kinda depends on what she likes. some people like sports, or music, or knitting, cars, it's hard to give you ideas when i don't know what she likes. maybe a day at a spa. does she like coffee, you could get her some fancy coffee and some cups and such to go with it. give her a night out on the town or bring her to dinner one evening.


What would be a great gift for my cheerleading coaches?
Q. I have three AMAZING coaches. I need some gift ideas that can be personalized for each them. It needs to show how much my team truly appreciates everything they do for us, everything they have sacrificed for us, and how much they support us. Please and thank you! =)

A. Make them each a scrapbook. I did this for my coach once and they loved it. Have all the girls get together and put money in towards a scrapbook and the materials and put it together. There must be girls with moms who take bunches of pics at competitions, games, and practices. If not and you dont have enough pictures, get a team photo and put it in a nice frame for each of them. Have all the girls sign and then they'll always remember you guys. Good luck and I hope they like the gift... Whatever you get them.


What is the coolest mothers day gift you have ever recieved?
Q. Trying to find a neat and different idea for Mom this year. She is retired, has everything she ever wanted, and no real hobbies except gardening, and I live several states away, so plants or trees are kinda out of the question.

A. Having never received one as you can readily tell, I can only share stuff I thought my mom liked.

Stuff I got for her that I thought she would like often ended up stored away for posterity somewhere. The stuff that I saw she put in places she could see anytime were things where I put some "heart" into it.

Some examples are: souveniers I got for her while on trips abroad where she could see I was thinking about her even while I was busy with many other things. A small trophy for "world's best mom." A framed poem about how much I appreciated the things she taught me, and another one about the hard times in her life when she sacrificed so I could have, and another about "now I understand what she was trying to explain." And other things that let her know how much I appreciated and loved and thought about her a lot.

Maybe consider sending her your answer to the "hereafter" question with things about her too? Anyway, just my opinions.
