My mom's birthday is coming up. What's a good gift? (1 Viewer)

Is your dad still alive? Mine recently passed away, so I got my mom a small, indoor electric grill. She loves grilled food but has no clue how to use a charcol grill. She seemed pretty impressed with it.

 
a special eight-course dinner  at a table overlooking the water, with a guitar player you taught a bunch of songs they love, and a piece of art for her house, delivered to the restaurant for her to receive while she's dining there

My mom lives in Seattle. I'm in Ca. She doesn't want a thing from me. All she wants is to see me. She's 74 and is feeling the aches of aging and seeing her mortality.

If I were you, I'd fly or drive to surprise her. Health can change on the dime. With my parents struggles, they both want to see me or hear my voice more often. Things don't mean much v showing up. Take flowers and treat her out, especially if she doesn't or can't get out much.

Taking suggestions.

I bought this for my mothers last birthday.  She enjoyed it.

This 12" x 15" best seller was inspired by a New York mayor who wanted to present a personalized compendium of Times front pages to his mother for her 100th birthday. It contains the front page from a loved one's day of birth and every birthday that followed. It comes with a timeline spanning 109 years of news and cultural events; top pages from the recipient's birth year; and an array of famous Times front pages

Hopefully her birthday isn't November 23, 1963.  :scared:

That would make it all the more special to her. 
Exactly. 4 hours is a day trip, not far at all. Unless someone isn't close to the mom, surprise visit trumps all gifts.

No One does that.

 
For a couple years, for Christmas, we got my mom a 'monthly-club' package where she was delivered a set of flowers every over month for a year (6 sets). It cost us ~$50 per delivery, and she loved it.

Place was Amazing Clubs. We have sent our dads wine and stuff like that. All have been very happy.

 
I meant each way. I've done it. Go real early, come back late.
I’ve done it too for my daughter. It’s not impossible. Or you could stay overnight. Or ask her to meet you in the middle. Time with my adult son would mean the whole world to me.
