What to get my mom?

9MM · 12-12-2007, 02:25 AM

Okay, she told me she spent:

$400 on me - I didn't want her to buy me anything for XMAS...and my birthday is like 5 days after XMAS, I just wanted to get a bday bift, but that $400 doesnt include a bday gift...

$1.99 on my 4 yr old brother - toy at value village, but he is spoiled and for 2 years he got thomas trains - $20 a day worth

$15 on the newborn - born last july, by accident I got him playing with his xmas toy in the van cause i thought my mom was selling it (she sells toys on eBay lol) but he loves it

Anyways, I don't know what to get her...she always says surprise me, and besides that she said a ring, I don't want to get her a ring, and besides that she says she just wants me to go to school (because I just dropped out this semester), I don't know what to get her really, I just know I want to spend $400 on her. I am thinking about just giving her a card and something under $50 to give her on xmas day then send her $400 in CertaPay (email bank transfer) as soon as I get home because I didn't want her to spend money on me. She is paying off her credit card bills and used a cc to buy the gifts...I'm actually domaining because I want to save money up to give her to pay her bills off so she can get a house (she owes around $11, 000...).

Any ideas guys? I'm thinking just cash and a little gift, but what do you guys think? I don't really know that much about my mom tbh she's been around but we havn't been close, I' dont live with her...she says she never watches tv or movies but i know she likes movies, especially comedies but i dont know...

buy her an amazon gift certificate/card
http://www.amazon.com/gp/gc
or try a stuff toy so when she embraces it, she remembers you
(like my mom used to say)

any toys that rattles.

Prefer nothing internet related, I hate Amazon - I am in Canada and they wouldn't let me buy Maple Syrup across the border lol

i wish i was getting a new ps3

9MM · 12-12-2007, 02:55 AM

I had a PS3, sold it for $450 - just ps3 and a controller, the guy tried to rip me off and paid a small amount down then by dad threatned him, he got so scared he said nvm bout the games, sold the games and based on current market price he wouldve saved money buying new haha

that's your clue, go live with her to take care of her just to spend the holidays giving a gift should not be expensive or go watch a movie with her

Don't feel like you have to spend $400 on your mom. If she did that, it's because she wanted to and not because she's expecting $400 in gifts in return. As a parent myself, I'd feel bad if my son thought he had to give me cash for the gifts I bought him.

No need to spend a lot to do something nice for your mom, just put some thought into it. Maybe something like a gift certificate for a day spa, or massage, or a local restaurant she enjoys with a promise that you'll willingly babysit when she goes to redeem it.

The 6 month old - maybe the Leapfrog Learning Drum or a Baby Einstein video. My kids all loved that stuff when they were that young.

Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas.

I'm not allowed to be at her house, her boyfriend is an asshole and a control freak, I told her but she didn't listen, she had a baby with him and she is with him now...Wow this sounds bad...but don't dis my mom lol

This city sucks for luxury...I can't go to her house to babysit, she never goes out. LeapFrog is fairly popular...shouldn't be that hard for him though. Anyways, I want to give my mom like $400 though, I don't want her wasting her CC money because I want her to pay her bills off.

Anyone help me out? Going shopping in like 3 hrs

Phoebe_ · 12-13-2007, 01:41 PM

That's a couple a bucks.. I'll bring her to a salon and also buy her some things in the mall!

Bill · 12-13-2007, 03:13 PM

Last resort... pick up a gift card to the mall. Around here we have Simon Malls and you can buy Visa gift cards.
