Attention All Mommies

    For Christmas I would like to give my mother a very special gift. I have no idea what she would like! I'm 14/f if that helps, and she is 100% Polish and is 43, if that helps too. She's a mother of three also.

    Please don't tell me to ask her what she likes, every gift I have purchased her in the past (jewlery, candles, etc.) she has not liked, she is very picky.(she didn't say it to my face) I also don't want to bake her anything such as a cake, or make her a poem, because these have been my past gifts.

    If you are a mother, could you please tell me what you would like as a gift from your 14 year old daughter?? and even if you are not a mother, please help. If you say to make her something from the heart, then please tell me what it is and the crafts I need. It would also help if you were VERY specific.
    thanks in advance

    she has not liked

    If she has not liked the past presents...Wow. You might want to remind her it's the thought that counts.

    If you say to make her something from the heart, then please tell me what it is and the crafts I need
    ^^^
    If it's from the heart, it should be your heart, not others. But, this is only my opinion.

    ^I think that's a good idea.

    My sister did that for my mom and she loved it.

    Ouch... she didn't like jewellry, candles, etc, and she didn't like cute "from the heart" gestures either. Maybe a certificate for a massage...

    The ring sounds nice... though you did say that she didn't like jewellry :-S
    Maybe she's just not good at demonstrating when it is that she likes/does not like something.

    Do up special coupons on the computer that she can redeem with you.

    Pamper coupons ... agreeing to wash & blow dry her hair, run a bubble bath, paint her nails ... you get the idea.

    How about ideas for the two of you to share time together? watch a movie, garden, take a walk

    Assistance coupons so you can help her out with things around the house that you aren't generally expected to help with.

    Are there things that she is always asking you to do that you procrastinate on? clean your room, do your homework, help with the dishes

    Some ideas, but you'd know best what to print. But be sure to include lots of redeemable hugs too ... Mom's also have "down days"!

    Actually, I find it very strange that she didn't like the past gifts. I mean, you're her daughter, you thought of her & you love her...what's not to like???

    whenever i ask her what she wants, she says nothing. don't all parents say that? oh and good point sheena.
    thanks for those who actually helped.

    I would much rather have a cuddle from my kids for christmas than them wasting their money on me.. and them being good for the day would be great too lol.. Most parents do ask for nothing, although I don't want anything from them I always appreciate everything they give me.. whatever it is.. It's the thought that counts, but I would much rather them spend their money on themselves.
