All women love jewelry. :wink:

I draw stick figure versions of my Mom and I standing underneath a poorly drawn rainbow with an ant bigger than me.

 

 

 

My Mom always hints at Jewelery. Try that.

i plan on going to a book store and buying here a nice drama book....

 

 

 

and for my revenge for that christmas 2 years ago, she gave me tea which was for herself :evil: , im going to the our comic/ sci fi book store and buying her a sci-fi book.... for me :twisted:

 

Oh, and if you are a parent/grandparent/cousin/aunt/uncle:

 

 

 

Don't buy socks as a present! Seriously. I know what I'm talking about. Unless you deliberately want to appear as annoying...

 

 

 

I've always thought that was some sort of widespread joke. I can't believe people buy socks for relatives. Who actually desires socks?

I usually get mum to write down a list of things that she would like, and I pick one, and get her that. I'm horrible at shopping, typical male, I like to do all my Xmas shopping in under an hour.

I'm running low on socks, I don't know where they all go....but I don't have any thick wool socks for winter either, those would be good....

Give your mom a vacation

 

 

 

Don't think Hawaii. Think of a day away from the kitchen. Or the home. Give her a vacation from the home where for her, most of the seemingly endless housework is done daily. Or, if she doesn't want that, start doing your share around the house. Maybe you could start giving her one day of the week off, when she does no cooking or household chores. Remember, fathers and husbands work hard at the office, but they get a two-day weekend in most cases. Moms usually don't even get a full day off. And if they are also working outside, it's like two full time jobs.

As for gifts for moms, I'd go with something you made yourself, most mothers appreciate your time more than the money you spent on your gift.

Something I used to do as a kid: Put on socks that are faaar too big for you, dance in the bathtub singing, "Gotta dance, gotta dance!". My mom got that as her birthday present for 2 years, and for Christmas, too :P (plus what my dad got her that he said was from my sister and I, but mine was faaar better) :XD:
