I think that this "I don't need anything" is a woman thing If I as a man, in all innocence took [/u]that[u] at face value, I'd not hear the last of it! It'd be, "you never got me anything for my birthday!" ME: "But you said that you did'nt want anything!" SHE: Yes, but I did'nt mean it!" WOMEN! Anyway, For your mother, I'd suggest something personal, ear rings maybe or some other sort of jewellry. Or perhaps perfume (you should know what her favorite is)or maybe some item of clothing.

How about doing some things to help her that she usually does, like laundry or cooking or cleaning or something?

Jewelry, if she wears it, like maybe a "Mother's Ring". A wallet or purse or coin purse could be nice. I like potted plants myself. A nice picture frame with a picture of you or of the family might be good as well.

How about something handmade from the heart? It's hard to suggest gifts for someone you don't know personally...but usually if the gift is something you pick or make especially for her then it will be appreciated.

Take her to a nice dinner or just get her a beautiful birthday cake and flowers. I'm a mom and I always say the same thing to my daughters but I always appreciate the thoughtfulness. I don't necessarily have to be given a gift in a box but love expression from my children is enough on my special day. Goodluck and happy birthday to your mom :)

I guess, you should just make that day a memorable one. Even just a simple time bonding with each other. If she said she want nothing,then so be it just make the rule... "Birthday Moms Rule".... In that way, you would follow anything she likes. Then, that would be enough. But on the other hand, if you still insist to give her something, make sure its from your hard work. You should make the gift yourself. In that way she would appreciate the gift more for its really from your efforts.

Laurenzixi, I suppose you will need to see what she likes or has been longing for and your pocket. The gift is not important but it is the thought and the heart of the giver (you) that counts. The very fact that you remembered her birthday and making it your priority to spend time with her is already the greatest gift a mother of a grown up daughter can receive. The rest is just not really that important. The gift could be one of her favorites a tailor made dress, a cookware she has been longing, a meal at one of her favorite restaurant, a jewelry of her favorite metal or birth stone, a holiday package or even a bouquet of her favorite flower is sufficient. Just don't hurt yourself doing it, spending that special day with her is already a world of a difference than just a mere phone call or email or mailed birthday card. I hope that the above would be enough to set your mind thinking and decide a gift for her. Take care and best wishes to her.

On sunday morning give her a good tight hug to convey that you care for her.Tell her that she is the one because of whom you came to this world and you are really gratefull for that.Give her a present (whatever she likes), but from your own pocket money.Parents always like their chidren to get self dependent.At night take her for a nice dinner,again you do the payment.Actually material thing really doesn't matter.Make her feel that you are the lucky one to get mother like her.That would be a better present for her.
