My mother will be 75 in June, and it is hard to buy for her because she is content with the simple things in life so I decided to buy her a supply of body wash, shampoo, deodorant, air freshener,and also some sweets, etc. I put them all in a big gift bag and I have already given it to her. She was so excited. She appreciated it because she knows these things take a lot of her small income away. And if she sees something later that she would like, she will have money to buy it.

Sweetly thoughtful, and she knows that you pay attention to her favorites so that you get the right things for her. That is so important. When we ladies age, we do tend to want the same old familiar things, kinda like being "set in our ways" maybe. No matter how simple you might think it is, that's what we like and what we'll be more apt
to use. I speak with the voice of experience as I'll be 76 next birthday.
That gift bag or gift basket is usually the most thoughtful gift...lots of little things that we like. If you can...spend at least part of the day with her. Time spent with my children is the most precious gift they can give to me now. I'm in a wheelchair a lot, and I do love window-shopping with them. just to see what they like. So many new things that I've never even seen before. I enjoy hearing what they have to say about those things.

Give mom her gift in a lovely, lacy basket pretty enough to be a gift itself. This is a page about Victorian Mother's Day gift basket.
