Need Idea For Mom's Birthday Gift

    Well, it's my mom's birthday tomorrow, and I have no idea what to get her. I could use some more brain power :) She generally works all day, comes home then does housework, so she's almost always working and has no fun. I'm not sure exactly what she likes doing... whenever she has a break from work she just talks to some people or watches TV.

    Any ideas? I want something more than just the usual flowers... something that will amaze her...

    Mentioning her hobbies will also help us in suggesting a present. If she likes listening to music, gift her a music player( iPod shuffle/ Nano).

    Rather than a massage cushion, why not get her a spa certificate? Not sure how much you want to spend, but for $30-50 you could buy her a 1 hour massage from a spa or salon. Most moms would LOVE that.

    If you want something that will amaze her.. Like you said in the first post.. get her a plazma TV lol.. And if your budget isnt to high right now, the best thing a mom can recive is love from her son or doughter telling her how well she raised her kids and how much you appreciate her.. good luck man... Tell you mom HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM DP!

    Hey, thanks for all the cool ideas! She actually did mention to me a few days ago that she wanted some kind of music player like mine... but that's very expensive! My budget I would say is about $100 (I love her :)).

    That massage cushion is actually a great idea... I might even go for that. However, I can't find that product on that website (homedics.com). Someone want to link me? Even if it can't arrive tomorrow if I order it online, I can still tell her I got it. For those of you who said gift certificate... what kind?

    The thing is my mom is always working so hard, that I'm not even sure what she likes to do now. She's never doing what she likes!

    Thanks for the links, but turns out I don't need them :)

    I just had a talk with my dad, and he says that the thing she needs the most right now is a palm. So... I got her one!

    http://members.aol.com/PilotApps/palm-tx.jpg

    It has mp3 player with it, too, so it's the better replacement for an ipod for her :)

    Price: $215 + $15 shipping off of ebay. My dad said he'd give me $100 towards this, so I'm still in my $100 range :)

    Thanks for all other ideas though. They'll be useful for next year, or for other people :)

    Does she access the internet? If so, I would make her a personal happy birthday.html page. I did this for my Niece a couple of months ago. Very fun :)

    $100 is a lot lot lot ..

    Buy her a LOT of flowers with $80.. fill her room up with them before she wakes up in the morning..

    with the rest of the $20.. buy a lot of shiny baloons and fill up some part of her room ..

    well .. dont know if its a good idea or not - but flowers - are the loveliest thing on earth - and so it a Mother :)

    I see you already solved it. I didn't mean that "I" was going to make the page for her. I meant for you to do it :)

    Anyhow. glad you solved it :)
