what should I get my bf's mom for xmas
 
I am staying at their house for xmas and new years and I think she is getting me a present. I want to get her something just becuase it's chrismas and also because she is letting me stay in their house. I could go get her something girly and be simple but that seems so thoughtless.

I was thinking maybe making her some cookies? Maybe a variety? I know she really likes sugar cookies and I was thinking about making my bf decorate some gingerbread cookies with me. and maybe she likes other baked goods? Is that somewhat thoughtful? Any other ideas for a present? I know she likes to read and she likes feeding ducks and her kitties.

Take a nice picture of you and the boyfriend and put it in a classy frame... BAM gift is done and she'll love it.

Skylarq 12-18-2007 01:24 AM

the cookies idea doesn't sound good to me, especially if she is spending money on you for a present. but those are the types of presents girls tend to give each other and enjoy so i could be way out of my element here. get her a nice fragrance. older women like to smell young, and she'll think you know what is hip.

grandchildren

threesome

Shapan 12-18-2007 01:28 AM

chocolates if she digs that stuff, godiva or something classy

bardy 12-18-2007 01:36 AM

hmmm I have to also mention that she has the ability to buy herself pretty much anything she wants and she wears nicer and hipper clothes than I do (well for he age, she likes ralph ****** etc)

so anyway I'd feel like out of place giving her anything like fragrance, clothes, purses, etc...

plus I feel like i can't afford anything that's really going to make in impact unless it's super thoughtful, you know? I wish I knew what kind of books she likd more so I could buy her some.

Maybe if I could find a nice painting of Lake Tahoe or something. It's too late for that I think :( She really enjoyed it when I gave her some home made pickled green beans!

mercurial 12-18-2007 01:50 AM

well she can't buy herself a grandchild can she?

bardy 12-18-2007 01:51 AM

I think that would be a nice present in a few years from now but I should stick to inanimate objects this year

Sepiae 12-18-2007 01:53 AM

Either get her a gift card to a bookstore or ask your boyfriend to fish around for ideas for books. Then offer to make her cookies while you are there.

mercurial 12-18-2007 01:59 AM

scrooge

bardy 12-18-2007 02:00 AM

In cases like this you need to get them something you know they would love but would never think to buy for themselves. You'd know better than me but I'm thinking pay for a glamour photo shoot for her to generate some tasteful nudes to reignite the flame in her marriage.

waltermcphilp 12-18-2007 12:30 PM

get her a poinsettia, unless she has a cat.

PkPhuoko 12-18-2007 12:41 PM

how about a grandchild

Shapan 12-18-2007 12:52 PM

because that wasnt already said

Lola 12-18-2007 12:58 PM

Get her a pedicure, every woman likes to be pampered and its not too expensive but if you do make sure you go to a nicer spa it will make a better impression

Lola 12-18-2007 12:58 PM

and maybe a bottle of wine

my bad

Lola 12-18-2007 01:28 PM

Also if you buy her sugar cookies you're going to look cheap. Shes your new bfs mom, you should make a good impression, shes having you at her home for christmas.

Future Boy 12-18-2007 02:05 PM

Since there's no mention of a husband, porn and a dildo.

bardy 12-18-2007 02:05 PM

oh I wasn't going to buy them, I was going to MAKE them! and decorate them. It would show more thought than getting my bf to go buy her a pedicure. he gets her a spa day every year blah how boring.

Nimrod's Son 12-18-2007 02:12 PM

bake her cookies filled with poison so your bf will inherit her sizeable fortune

bardy 12-18-2007 04:33 PM

He thought I was stressing out too much so he is going to worry about it. He said I was thinking too hard about it.

shannon 12-18-2007 07:11 PM

yeah, i agree with the poinsettia idea... and maybe some wine

TuralyonW3 12-18-2007 07:12 PM

poinsettia's are fucking lame and she'll make him dump you

they're fucking festive... not the greatest looking thing, but at least it's somewhat thoughtful

TuralyonW3 12-18-2007 07:17 PM

how is it thoughtful, they're like spilling out of every corner grocery store, you can't go through town without tripping over them

It took 24 posts for someone to mention either a dildo or a vibrator?

Netphoria :noway:

shannon 12-18-2007 07:43 PM

well, i'd be happy if someone gave me wine and "flowers" for christmas... but then again, i'm not brady's boyfriends mother, so it doesn't matter

Shapan 12-18-2007 07:44 PM

ill keep this in mind when i date your daughter though

shannon 12-18-2007 07:46 PM

you're so thoughtful

I'm Hardcore 12-18-2007 07:46 PM

Shannons daughter is already arranged to be married to me
