I don't have any ideas. Sorry Toot. I always end up getting my mom perfume. EVERY single time I get her anything other than that....she never uses it/wears it. Good luck!

www.seniorstore.com/birnew.html

Oh I stumbled across that at the senior store and thought it was cool for a few seconds.. but meh. I'm not sure I'm feelin it.

a bracelet is a good idea! Do you ever go on overstock.com? They have some very reasonably priced jewelry too! Or maybe one of those 'past,present,future' necklaces?

Umm I think I looked at overstock.com once after hearing someone comment on it here.. don't really remember

I kind of want to get her one really nice gift and then make her a little care/birthday package.. grrrrrr I'm so not going to have time to do this

She's been complaining about her feet, anyone has ideas for foot spa type shiz? I keep telling her well WHY DONT YOU USE THE FOOT SPA I GOT YOU but for some reason she doesn't

Karma, they make these really cool booties that you can warm
in the micro, I got my mom a pair and she loved them!

Leo I found ONE PAIR of those on Amazon but wasn't sure if they helped with rough skin, etc. or if they were just for comfort

Do you remember where you got them??

Um I can not remember! Dang it! Hmmmm let me try to find some for you!

I have a link for you Karma with a lot of bootie options
I am putting it in your gb cause it will block it here

Give her some fried okra.

No seriously though, have you thought about www.personalcreations.com or www.redenvelope.com ??

Hahahah FU Aud, when it comes time to get BillC a Fathers Day present don't expect me to help you with gift ideas

Oh thanks Leo! I'll check it out now

And for future reference, if you remove the http:// it should just post the link without any probs.

Aud I looked through Red Envelope briefly but not personalcreations.. is that like shutterfly

Ah! I get it! Duh on my part there! I put some links in you GB
Good luck!

Bwahahaha no proby probs chica.. I had no idea until Aud told me.

i know what to get daddy bill for his birthday. and her name is bambi.

personal creations has quite a bit of cute things and affordable too. less pricey than red envelope.

You could always get him this

I have a feeling daddy is all too familiar with my momma's nutcracking skillz.

I love the look of this perfume and these monogramed candlesat Anthropologie.

I posted a comment with a couple of links but it got flagged so it should be up in a minute.

What about a locket with your picture in it? Moms love that shizz.

Hmm the links haven't showed up yet Coco

Twink thats a good idea.. I just don't know if I should get her yet another necklace, you know That's why I was thinking bracelet.. but am completely r8T8rded at picking jewelry out. The necklaces were angels 'n mom shiz so those were no brainers.

At least I have ideas for a three year olds bday Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Has anyone used those leap frog thingies? Jen suggested the leap frog magnetic fridge barn last year and he loved it..

Ooooh and one last question They have the leap frog with just the alphabet, and then for $24.99 they have basically the same thing but it has three slots and can spell words

So right now he needs to work on the alphabet but I'm thinking he'll catch onto that pretty quickly.. so maybe I should go up a step and get the word builder???

Ok, sorry these are so long: www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8...

I def think you should check out Overstock again. Everything is cheaper there, I swear. (Example, I bought a book for my cousin last month that was $40 at B&N but $25 at O!) Also, check out retailmenot dot com for 10% coupon codes or free shipping.

Three year olds are fun. Just get him something loud and/or shiny. There are all kinds of books with buttons that make annoying sounds. We won't even take them in the book store because the owner hates them so much.

Karma you said that your mom like the sentimental stuff. Why don't buy her one of those bracelets with a charm that you can personalize having a picture engraved on it. Don't ask me how they do it but it looks nice, not tacky. The image comes out in a soft black & white style, on a regular size charm.

karma, I'm going to check Sticky's link for bracelets. I shopping for jewelry. I'll post the links here of the stuff I think she would like here.

As for the children, I'm pretty clueless. But, I'm sure the Mom's on here will be helpful. The stuff you posted above is really cute. Btw., I like the bracelet you posted above..but I understand not wanting to take a chance buying it without seeing any reviews.

Oops, sorry crispy. I meant you..not Sticky.

Heh heh heh, I love stealing credit.

karma, I'm looking for bracelets only in the price range of $30.00 to $60.00. The next price range is $60.00 to $250.00. I'll check those out, too. But, I won't go over $80.00. Cool with you?

I like this one. Does she wear a lot of gold? http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Watches/18k-Gold-over-Sterling-Silver-C... It has a measuring thingy on the bracelet. I think it's almost 1/2 inch wide. I'm still looking.

LOL Sticky.

Karma, is Elijah your son? I've seen you post about him before but never refer to him as your son, so I was curious.

http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Watches/18k-Gold-over-Sterling-Silver-D... - this one is also 1/2 inch wide.

This one is pretty..but only if she likes peridot. http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Watches/Sterling-Silver-Freshwater-Pear...

Crud! I got flagged and lost one of my links. I'll send them to you in a pm.

Never mind about the link above..they come in a case of six.

My nieces have those leapfrog things and love them! They
put the magnets all over the fridge and it talks and stuff,
very cool. Um can three year olds have playdoh??? I can not
remember back that far but that is some good stuff. Oh and a
game called Elefun--highly recommend that one!

I have seriously underestimated Overstock. When I found out how much I could save by buying a book through them, I was in shock. I dont do much online shopping, but I will def check them out more often.

karma, Check your pm's.

Crispy, You're soooo right! I couldn't believe the deals on jewelry. I need to look there more often for everything!

BB, a few months ago there was a sale on a pearl necklace and matching bracelet...for $80 I think. (Theyre not real pearls, but Im not picky.) I scored an awesome coupon on slickdeals dot net and the total came to $1 and free shipping. So now I have a quality-looking pearl necklace and matching bracelet for $1. Its great to wear to work, it makes me feel more professional. If they only knew...

But yeah, check out Slickdeals, its awesome.

Crispy, That's awesome! I swear I think fake pearls are the better way to go. They look just the same. Also, they are so classic you can't ever go wrong with them. And they always add a nice polished touch to every outfit. Very Jackie-O. My real pearl necklace needs to be re-strung because, it broke..anyway, my fake pearl necklace (that I wear now because, I still haven't had the other one fixed) has lasted for years and years. I'll definitely check out Stickdeals. Thanks!

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu you guys for all of the awesome links and ideas !!! I've been going nuts trying to find something (the only way you could understand how stressful this is is if you knew my mother.. God help me)

Updating now

Still haven't finished ordering/looking/etc. but hopefully I'll finish up today or tomorrow.

Great job, karma! I love the gifts you bought.

Awesome Karma! Good job!

WHEWWWWWWWWWWW now all I have to do is get them some nice coffee and I'll be DONE.. THANK GOD

Now it all gets here quickly so I can send it out asap

My moms birthday is on the 22nd And their anniversary is on the 23rd.. grrr.

OK and how the heck annoying is BORDERS.COM!? I tried using my giftcard and it wouldn't let me because its partnered up with Amazon??? Makes no sense.

Hmm looking at Elefun now, I've never seen it before
