i'm one of those persons who just love to offer the perfect gift, that has real meaning and that brings a smile to the person who is receiving face.
for instance this year i'm getting my mother a little music box that plays brahm's lullaby, which she sang to me when i was little. it was our song!
how about you?

I hate when people give gifts just because they have to! I always try to make sure my gifts are personal and something I know they will like.
One year for Christmas I got my mom a crystal key chain. She always liked little key chains so she could stick her keys in her pocket, but something that was still easy to see. She had a stupid, ugly red piece of plastic for a long time. I finally got her to through it away!
This year for Christmas, I gave my father-in-law a lap blanket. He is ALWAYS cold. SO I crocheted him a 'patchwork' lap blanket. It is the perfect size. He uses it all of the time!
I hope your mom loves the gift!

I never know what to get my mom. She turned 75 this year so I collected lots of pictures of her and the people she has loved (her grandmother . her dad .. her mom .. .) loves (her granddaughters esp) and made her a scrapebook for mothers day! The best part of it was watching my mom and my daughter looking at it together.
OK so next is Fathers Day . .so how am I going to do something special for him !

oh fathers love anything that is given with love. my grandad still keeps a drawing my mom gave him for fathers day when she was little. he is now 93 years young and still carrys it around in his wallet!
usually for dads, anything you made yourself. make him his favourite jam or something like that!
