My Mom's Birthday

Sat Sep 22, 2007 11:36:08 PM #41465 Perm Link

I'm considering getting her an iPhone, but only because I can't think of anything better (and she always raves about it.)

I can't find anything to top that for the money, though. Any ideas?

What are her interests?

I am not sure what all she is into. I think an iPhone is a good gift if it is something that she really has wanted. Or what about a day at a spa or just even the cash for her to do what she wants to with?

wow, I'd be happy to get an iPhone! If she talks about it a lot and isn't the kind of person to get one for herself, do it.

She gets NOTHING for herself. If she gets money or a gift card, she spends it on someone else. I want to get her something just for her.

I also vote for the spa treatment then...

It is a thoughtful gift.

She'd never have time to go.

I would hold off on the Iphone until they get all the billing issues worked out, I have read some really atrocious bills from some friends who have them. What about clothing, jewelry, perfume? Better yet, why not do some of her errands, or get the house clean and organized. Take her out for a nice meal?

The nice meal part generally happens anyway. That shouldn't be considered a gift--especially if you're eating with her.

Hey I am a mum and what ever my children get me I am thrilled with. Personally I like really thoughtful and creative ideas that show their uniqueness. Sure that she will love the Iphone if that the one that you decide on.

I got her the iPhone. Turns out she's wanted one for a long time, and she flipped out. She never gets anything really for herself, so I thought I'd spoil her.
