My mom is turning 75 this Sunday, and I don't have a gift for her! She doesn't really need anything, but I need to get her something. I often get her funky jewelry, or something for her garden, so will look into those. But it's getting tight timewise! Any suggestions? Thanks!

My family went in on a beautiful diamond necklace for my mom’s 75th.

My mom is in her late 70s and she doesn’t want more stuff. I give them GCs to restaurants they like, as if I am there to take them out. I also send family pictures.

That's a great idea, but she has diamonds from her mom, and doesn't need any expensive jewelry (in fact has been selling hers!).
I think I will pay for dinner on Saturday night. And maybe make a photo book of her life (I have some old photos I can scan). We are going away for her birthday the following weekend with my sisters, but my mom is paying for the 3-day trip (she has the money to do it, and we don't!)...
Hmmm... if we could get a professional photographer when we're all away, that would make her super happy. I'll look into that.Liz

I was going to suggest photo related as well. Professional picture of you all she would love, and you would all have something to treasure from that memory too. And photo book is a great idea. These are things my own mom loves and are favorite personal gifts.

My mom turns 80 in the spring and we decided to take her in a cruise. She doesn't want more stuff. We may also get her a new computer since hers is slow and old. Other gifts she has liked are old tapes transferred to DVD and having old pics scanned so she has them on her computer. She also got an Echo for Christmas and enjoyed that.

We did this last summer for my mom’s 70th. She was so happy and the pictures came out great! Originally Posted by almostmom
