We bought my MIL a Pandora one and put birthstones, etc on it for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342714 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 09:13:08 +0000 Greentea 2342714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't use a facial or mani/pedi either, just not my thing! I like the jewelry or a cashmere cardigan sweater, or tickets to something you could all go together to.</p> <p>I was going to say maybe pro photos, of her with LOs, but I think you do that/ have that covered! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342698 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 08:57:34 +0000 birdofafeather 2342698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ChiCalGoBee: @Applesandbananas: @Mamaof2: I wish I could do a spa day but she would not use it unless I went with her and made appts! My BFF is a masseuse/esthetician and I've organized massages and facials before but she's never "used" them!! I might think on other tickets I could get her though that we could go together to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342671 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 08:25:07 +0000 Mamaof2 2342671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do a day of pampering - facial, massage, lunch and mani/pedi </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342556 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 23:51:28 +0000 Applesandbananas 2342556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a big fan of experience gifts. Could you get tickets to the theater or a spa day or salon gift card? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342554 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 23:50:37 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2342554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she like massages/facials? A day of pampering might fit the bill:-). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342553 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 23:47:57 +0000 littlejoy 2342553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amy Wing in Portland, OR makes beautiful, simple necklaces and bracelets with initials. Very understated, but made with quality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342493 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 21:46:08 +0000 ladybee 2342493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sons birthstone is opal and mine is amethyst. I went to a local jeweler and lucked out that they had a round opal necklace with a amethyst accent on top in white gold. It was right around $200. I'd gone to chain stores and it was way more expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342354 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 19:21:01 +0000 wrkbrk 2342354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like PoshMommy for mother/grandmother jewelry. A bit more pricey than etsy but you can choose silver and get something well within your range! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342310 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 18:01:03 +0000 twodoghouse 2342310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: I want one for myself too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342309 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 17:59:19 +0000 Greentea 2342309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: I like that!

She absolutely loved it. The style I got was the Open Loop. </p> [attach=141/15/nx7m89.309x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342275 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 17:26:00 +0000 simplyfelicity 2342275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: I hope baby girl is ok and can come home soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342272 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 17:24:10 +0000 simplyfelicity 2342272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got this for my mom this year and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY. I upgraded the chain for a bit extra. Each birthstone charm costs extra but its very inexpensive.<br /> <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/113097554/momsgrandmothers-necklace-with-3" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/113097554/momsgrandmothers-necklace-with-3</a> </p> [attach=4953/15/nx7kwa.570x428.il_570xN.327248552.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342269 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 17:19:02 +0000 mrskc 2342269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: I got my mom a knockoff origami owl necklace last Christmas from Etsy and she looooves it. Wears it everyday. I put birthstones for all her grandkids and a little heart that says grandma in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-present-for-my-mom#post-2342247 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 11:51:18 +0000 birdofafeather 2342247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom has been our go to child care provider this year and while DD2 has been in the NICU, is staying with us to watch DD1. There's no way we could have functioned as a family without her, even though she's 2 hours away! So DH and I have been brainstorming presents specifically to say thank you before the holidays get in full swing. She's hard to buy for because she doesn't want a lot, she doesn't use gift baskets, or if we get her a gift card somewhere, it ends up unused or going to someone else. </p> <p>I was thinking some kind of necklace with maybe names or birth stones, so if anyone has leads for that (etsy?) or has other hits gifts for grandma, I'm all ears! I'm thinking in the $100-$200 range, so maybe a necklace and something else? </p>
