Help..I need unique Mothers day gift ideas!?

I need to go shop for mother's day gifts today for my mother, my step-mom, and my mother-in law. All 3 are in their 50's and have everything they need. I want something a little different. No cards or flowers, etc. Anyone have any ideas??

Help..I need unique Mothers day gift ideas!?
I know you said no flowers, but please read on.



Why don’t you give your Mon a rose for each year that you have had a birthday (35yo = 35 roses) and give her a thank-you card instead of a Mothers Day card. Thank her for bringing you into this world, thank her for the love and joy she has brought and continues to bring into your life.
Reply:an appointment and gift certificate for the spa. what woman wouldnt appreciate a deep tissue massage and a facial? i hope my mom likes it...
Reply:recall on something they mentioned which you've heard they like to have. If you know they don't have it yet then its i think the best one.
Reply:If you have kids-get their photo taken, or you take them yourself, make them unique photos-find nice unique frames that go with the photos frame them and include them in a basket with things such as bath products, or favorite perfume, Cd's of their favorite music, maybe some high end chocolate or candy, add in a book from one of their favorite authors.



Try getting them something they wouldn't do for themselves, life a gift creativity for skydiving or horseback riding. Try, if they all get along, getting all of you (yourself included and your daughter if you have one) for a Mom's lunch-include your daughter so she sees you all there, getting huge amounts of quality girl time. Make the lunch someplace special, not just at the local restaurant, try someplace a little fancy, maybe a cafe or tea house. Tell them that they all have to wear a certain color-let your daughter pick, so that you all form a group-let people around you know you are together and doing something special. If they have everything that they need, then give them the memories of spending time with you and you children. If they already have everything like you said, then the best gift you can give them is something you can't buy and on mother's day what better gift then memories.
Reply:i will keep on checking this question...Need suggestions too....
Reply:This is what my sister and I did last year for my mother (and my father on father's day). It was a real hit. We bought a special wooden box. Something that was kind of fancy and in her taste (craft stores usually carry inexpensive ones and have a large variety). We filled it with a package of her favorite candy, the pricey kind (lindor dark chocolates), a bracelet that I made her from crystal beads that had four charms that said our names and our husband's names, a fresh cut rose (obviously put in at the last minute), and we each wrote a long (2 page typed) letter expressing our fondest memories with her and how much she means to us now. We described how she has changed our lives, even the tough times we went through and how she was there for us. The gift probably cost about 40-50 dollars which was split between the two of us. It's more effective if you go in with your siblings (if you have any). If you asked her now...she would say it was the best gift she ever got.
Reply:take an old family picture and blow it up and frame it
Reply:Just tell them that you love them
Reply:Get one of those mugs ( at a hobby/craft store ) that you can put your own pictures into. Then get some real pictures and photo copy them and place them inside.
Reply:Did you ever think about getting them those necklaces w/ pictures of people on them? They are really neat %26amp; most jewelry stores and even Walmart does them. All you need is a picture of whomever %26amp; they'll take care of the rest. Most of them will do it either without color or with. It's pretty awesome. OR you can do a picture on blankets and/or pillows.
Reply:scrapbooks or family pictures in a collage ...kids,grandkids......good luck i ran into the same problem mom had everything but pictures have a story ....good luck
Reply:Go down to your local craft store or wal=mart and buy an empty scrap book and get some of your favorite pictures growing up gather your memories and thoughts and feelings and put it in the book. It's so much fun and she'll really love to see that you put in the effort to make her this book. Now for your step mom...good luck. Your mother in law would probably love a book like that too starting from when your hubby was born all the way to now. Get your hubby involved make him do atleast one page by him self. lol hhhhhmmmmmmm thinking for your step mom if your real close then you should have a picture of you and her together? Or one of your father and her together? Get a great picture frame and put the picture of you and her in it and on the back of the frame write something like "Your a special part of my life" or put a picture of your father and her together and on the back write "You see that smile on my Dad's face... THATS why I love you, thank you for filling his life and ours with joy". People too often think that gifts have to be expensive but the ones that touch the heart are the most treasured.
Reply:pamper them for the day. take them to a spa or cook them a meal xxx
Reply:Anything personal and unique is always good, hand-made or religious items, poems or something sentimental. If not that the high-tech is pleasing as candy to the young and old. Last but not least you could get something off season that can be used later on and will be reappreaciated. Good Luck!!!!!
Reply:rather than gifts, if u can arrange other loved ones in the family (if u have a bro, sis or cuzins) to perform a little skit or funny act showing the importance of them in ur lives.. makes a big impression!!!! remember, it has to be for all three.. let me know!
