I got my mom this foot message spa thing with hot water... She mentioned wanting one so that what I got her. I also got her a jack johnson cd, but that was more for me to steal after giving to her.

Don't have much money. $120 to be exact. But some of the stuff she did ask for is something everyone knows no one would want for christmas such as a new mop, a new paper shredder. My mom just wants everyone to save thier money but I want to get her something nice.

Alright, im gonna save you right now.
Go to the nearest mall with a coach store in it. Coach yeah, the purse brand thats really expensive. I don't exactly know what its called but there is this relaly nice credit card holder there that my mom loves, she puts cards and reciepts and money in there and its really nice. Its 72 dollars, its a nice thing and your mom will be greatful, guarenteed.

Yeah never get your mom a mop haha. I don't believe in giving a gifts so someone that anyone else will be using likea houshold product, like a painting, it can be nice but its not hers, every will see it in the house or something.

I buy my mom a bunch of really nice scented candles each year...she loves those, but I don't know about your mom.
Around here there's a resort where you can buy a half hour or an hour long massage. Females always like those.

I get my mom some stuff from bath and body works, charms for her Italian charm bracelet, and w/e else I see like this year I got her a head lamp.
Italian charm bracelets are really great b/c every holiday/birthday u have something to buy. the charms range from two dollars at claires to hundreds at really nice jewelery stores. I normally get charms for like 10-20 dollars. They have a charm for just about anything. google it.

if you wanna go cheap, burn her a cd with all her favorite music on it. that worked really well for me. or you could combine that with something else you bought, its a win-win situation.

Where is the cheaper stuff on the internet, I was looking about just overnighting it to my house but I dont see anything cheaper that 198 on their site.


Thanks for all the advice. Please keep it coming incase the coach thing doesnt end up working out.


**EDIT** My dad just got home and he bought her a brand new purse that he ordered from some store in Italy.

If she collects anything like antiques, try to get some on the internet or at a specialty store. It is a little late to get anything off ebay though, which is where I bought my mom's stuff

You know, you don't always have to buy your Mom something. As a matter of fact I know that a lot of moms really like something that you personally made. This christmas I dont really have any money, so in school in woodshop we just finished this box project and it looks like something that she could put like keys or jewlery in so I am giving her that. Does anyone else actally make their moms things? or am I all alone in this one?

Do something that takes time. Wash the windows, clean the bathroom, something that she gets stuck doing if you don't do it.
