On Mother's Day, I made this big slideshow with pictures of our family and a little biography on her, and she said it was the best gift anyone has ever given her. I'm trying to top it on her birthday. I decided to make her a basket with 52 things in it (she's turning 52). She's very family oriented, she's very religious, she has a good sense of humor, and she loves hand-made things. I need some ideas on what to give her. I barely have any money, so I would need to make practically everything. Please help
I've already done the photo album/biography thing. I still plan on doing a picture frame, but I need some other ideas.
I don't want any picture ideas. No scrapbooks, no photos, no picture frames. I want different ideas

You can get one of those collage picture frames, the ones that are big with many openings. Some have different sized openings and some are the same sized openings. You can get them in Kohls, Walmart, Michael's, etc. Anyway, you can get one of those frames and put pictures of her and you, and her family in it, through the years, but leave 2 of the openings blank, one to write Happy Birthday and the date, and the other to take a family picture together on the day of her birthday so she has an updated picture, a most recent one, and one the picture is printed out, you can add it to the frame. She can hang it on the wall and it's like a scrapbook for the wall. She will love it. It can hold pictures of her and her family throughout the years, pick her favorite pictures, or the pictures you think she would like the best. The frames are inexpensive too!
You can also make her a scrapbook. These days you can make them in just about any size, 12x12, 8 and half by 11, 8x8, 6x6 and even 4x4, you can put a picture on one side and the journaling and embellishments on the other for the smaller albums and the smaller albums only take a few hours to do. The smaller albums, like the 4x4, she can even carry with her! You can even get those small ones that hold wallet sized photos and if she has grandchildren, make her a grandchildren's album with the picture on one side and the embellishement on the other.
You can also make her a picture frame, if you go to the crafts store they have the frames that you decorate. You can get one of those, decorate it with paint, stickers, glitter, etc, and put a picture in there of you and her together.
They also have picture frames for scrapbook layouts. They are 12x12 frames, they are wood, so you can even decorate the frame, and what you do is make the 12x12 scrapbook layout and then frame it in the frame and hang it up! You can get them at Michael's and AC Moore, where they have the regular frames and right in the middle of the glass of the frame it will say scrapbook frame. Then you can go to the scrapbook dept. and get the paper and supplies, make a layout and put it in the frame and decorate the frame or leave it the way it is, and give it to her that way.
Michael's and AC Moore, and possibly JoAnn's also sell a line called Bare Elements and they are boxes, like jewelry boxes, albums, etc they are white and you can decorate them and make them for gifts.
I hope some of these ideas help and that your mother has a very Happy Birthday!

Gift idea for a mom?
Fiona
I wasn't sure what section to put this in...so I apologize if it's the wrong section.
I have a great friend who is due any week now with her second son...her first son is about 15 months old and will soon be going through open heart surgery...this will be happening not long after she gives birth.
As far as I know she doesn't need a whole lot of stuff for the new baby (she saved everything from her first)...I just can't think of something to get her that would be helpful for her newborn and for her son going through surgery.
I appreciate any ideas/suggestions.
Thank you

Ok, if the mom doesn't need anything maybe get something for her son that is about to have open heart surgery, maybe a blanket, or a stuff animal. YOU can get the mom something with a nice saying on it to let her know you are thinking about her. My son had open heart surgery when he was 5 weeks old and my friends wrote me little says and stuck them in a jar and when I Was sad or stressed I would read them. A lot of them had quotes from the internet. Sometimes the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart and home made. Good luck and I will keep your friend and her family in my prayers, I know what she is going through. My son is 5 today and he won't need any more surgeries.
