Okay, I'm totally stumped. Mother's Day is rapidly approaching and I have absolutely no clue whatsoever as to what to get my stepmom for it. She's a great lady and she means a lot to me, so I want to get her something meaningful... Not the normal flowers and trip to the spa. Does anyone have any good ideas?

Does she have hobbies or collect something? Does she read alot or like a certain genre of movie? Barnes and Noble has a membership card for $25 you could purchase it with her name on it and buy her a book,CD or DVD to go with it. Then for a year she could purchase whatever she wanted there and get a discount or purchase something small and buy a gift card. Does she ever talk about something she loved as a kid?Maybe you could get her a nostalgic reminder of that time or a place. Weekend craft fairs are sometimes good to shop at for gifts that are unique and handmade. My Dad always talks about old time radio and how it was better. I bought him a collection of old time radio shows. He loves it. Does she talk about things she loves or wants to buy for herself but holds back? My mom does that I try to keep track of the stuff she talks about for occasions . She does not spend on herself if it is not a necessity. What about a pendant or earrings that represent something meaningful to her? Whatever you do start brainstorming on paper about things she likes or themes. What always happens to me is I will see somthing that is perfect for someone and I will remember that I once had good idea but not what that idea was. Early Alzheimers I think!!

Great ideas! Thanks so much. She's an artist, maybe I should go with something to that effect. She doesn't really talk about things she loved as a kid, she does talk about what she hated as a kid though. *laughs* The pendant or earrings is a good idea too. Great ideas though, thanks again!
