Good present for my daughter to get my wife?

Edited on Mon Dec-22-08 05:02 PM by NewJeffCT

I'm usually pretty good at coming up with something my daughter can get for Christmas for my wife, but I've not been struck by anything this year when out.

Any ideas for something an almost 6 year old could get for her mommy?

Thanks

edited to add - it would have to be something I could pick up at a local store, since there ain't much time left for delivery.

1. is Mom on her feet a lot?

a footbath thing, you can get one at target, bed bath & beyond, or linens -n- things.

actually, it's a nice gift whether she's on her feet a lot or not.

good luck!

2. I usually let my son just pick something that he thinks others would like

Marshall's is where he often got stuff for female in-laws, a local artist's co-op if you have a museum handy, or 10,000 villages - items made by folks around the world for a fair price for their benefit...

:hi:

my husband told my son to get him a new razor! :rofl:

4. a really nice bath robe? I got one a few years and i love it.

yeah it's not the most exciting gift in the world but it's great on chilly mornings.

6. Price range?

Can anybody have enough warm, soft, fuzzy socks/slippers this time of year?

7. Not a bad idea

My wife could use some thick (winter weight) dark-colored dress socks/stockings.

8. I don't know your wife...

so that makes it harder.

Something thoughtful is best. I got my mother bedsheets this year, a table saw last year, and The Green Mile on DVD the year before that. I doubt your wife wants a table-saw.

I'd wager though she'd want what every mother seems to want about 10 years hence...more good photos of her (your) child from 10 years ago back when they were still cute and you didn't want to kill them for smoking behind your back and staying out until all hours of the night.

9. Ask your daughter what she wants to get her.

You might be surprised, but whatever it is, either it could be fantastic for her insight, or it'll be memorable for its weirdness... :D
