I am trying to come up with some fun 'stocking stuffer' type gifts for my Mom. Internet searches keep coming up with ideas for Moms to give to their kids, which isn't what I need.
A little history - my mom lost her job nearly 2 years ago and hasn't worked since. Now she lives in an 'in law suite' in my brother's basement and is basically a professional mom/grandma. Obviously she doesn't have much 'spending cash', and my siblings and I thought we would fill her out a stocking of little things to make life a little more comfortable without having to ask us for those things... Of course I think I've already got too much stuff for a stocking so it may be a box, but you get the idea.
Currently I have picked up the following items in her preferred brands (which really add up!):
- Soap
- Lotion
- Shampoo, Conditioner & Styling Cream
- Toothbrush, Toothpaste & Super Floss
- Powder
- Mini Pedicure set
- Some Christmas Chocolates
- Soft Fuzzy Socks
- Dog & Cat Treats for her pets
We've already each gotten her a gift this is just a little something on the side. She's especially difficult to shop for as she really doesn't have any hobbies or activities that don't involve her family, and she doesn't really "need" anything. Soooo basically she's impossible! But I love her and want to get her some things to make her happy at Christmas.
Any ideas greatly appreciated!
