I need a great idea for a 50th birthday present for my mom.

Question

I wanted to order a mothers ring, but her bday is like 12 days away, and they take longer than that to order. My mom is hard to shop for, and I want to do something special. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I am 52 years old and the greatest gifts that my children has given me, is the gifts that showed me that they have taken time to know me for who I am, and not what I do (mother).

Do not get me wrong, I love being their mother, but I also love them knowing ME.

If your mom is, A person who have needs, but often neglect them, find out something that she needs...

If your mom is, A person who, worries or is stressed, A 1 day spa treatment, works wonders. (I loved that one and still talk about it)

When gifts were bought for me, by people, the ones that I cherished the most was the ones that showed, that the person who gave the gift took time to know ME.

My worst gifts were, the ones that I got, and  I knew the gifts were not about me, but they were about the style and the likes of the person giving the gift... I often had no use for these gifts...

Last hint : NEVER GIVE MOM A GIFT THAT WILL MAKE HER WORRY ABOUT YOUR FINANCES.

She will appreciated the gift, but later she will worry...

(Never be too cheap either !!!!)

I wish you all the best, happy hunting !!!

Answer 2

Get her 50 of her favorite flowers.  And a nice card.  You can get the ring for mother's day.  It s that you thought of her at all not the gift.  She probably just wants to spend the day with you being together.  You could make an album or a collage of her life.  Gather all of her baby pictures and pictures of her at school and getting married and you as a baby and make copies of them and organize them into a photo montage and she will love to reminisce about the times in her life.
