It was her request! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-mom-for-christmas#post-2787842 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 15:59:58 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2787842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do practical stuff. My mom needs new sneakers, and is retired, so I'll likely get her a new pair. We get her a photo calendar of the kiddos each year, and I'll get her a nice purse every once in a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-mom-for-christmas#post-2787841 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 15:59:44 +0000 SweetiePie 2787841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We actually do lists in our family! It makes things so much easier. Would she be opposed to that? We give several options so we don’t know what we’ll actually end up with but it gives each other guidance.<br /> My mom usually asks for home stuff. A new stick vac, a hand/stick blender, sheets, a printer, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-mom-for-christmas#post-2787838 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 15:58:34 +0000 nanilani 2787838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely know what to get, so this year she's getting an Instant Pot even though it's a little more than our usual gift budget. I figure it's worth the extra cost given a few past well-intentioned but not very exciting gifts over the years. Since you said no housewares, maybe a gift certificate for an experience she might enjoy (favorite restaurant, spa, movies, wine tasting, etc.)? </p>
