Need Christmas Gift Idea
I have NO Idea what to get my mom. She is retired, has everything, she likes to read, sew, garden and loves her animals (dogs, cats, birds).
I feel like I am at a loss. What did you get your mom?

monogrammed garden gloves
and gardening tote/tools
those are from red envelope - and maybe a gift card to her favorite nursery?

SHe is very picky about her kitchen stuff. She lives in Fl so last year I got her a webcam so we could stay in touch. I thought about a digital frame but I know she won't update/use it because her camera still has pics of my DS's birth - 4 YEARS AGO LOL!

Re: Need Christmas Gift Idea
I'm not really a help -- My parents booked a big European cruise for next year. For Christmas, we got them a GC for onboar credits, along with a gift bag of cruise goodies and tour books.
We got my MIL a really nice Coach pocketbook. We got an amazing deal on it at the outlets -- under $100 (and it's a nice, big, leather bag). There are great deals at the outlets.

Re: Need Christmas Gift Idea
I'm in the same boat.
I'm going to suggest a Kindle too. Crabtree and Evelyn has the Gardners hand creme which wors awesome if you wanted to get those monogrammed gloves. What about the gardeners kneeling bench?
If the kindle is out of price range, what about gc to book stores?
My mom really doesnt read so I bought her one of those anti gravity chairs which she cant use until the spring but at least i know she will use it.

I got my mom some stuff from ActiveForever
http://www.activeforever.com/s-87-gardening.aspx
They have tools and gadgets to make gardening easier, even as joints get less able to handle the stress of gardening.
