I don't do presents or cards for my mom anymore. She has everything she needs and doesn't want a bunch of sentimental brick-a-brac clogging up her house. However what I have found out is she loves it when I do special things for her instead. One year I waxed her car, another year I took her out to her favorite restaurant (which I hate and she rarely gets to go to), one year I painted a bedroom for her.

I find that she enjoys those much better than any present I've ever gotten her and she makes comments about it to anyone who will listen so I really KNOW she likes my 'gifts' then because mom doesn't do that often. lol
