Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
This post may be a bit late because Mother’s day was two days back. It maybe a bit late to actually start looking for a gift to give or send your mother. But what is the surprise in giving a gift when it is expected? Instead send it some days later and really surprise her 
. Okay, thats a lame excuse, but since I’m running a bit late this time, that’s the one I’m gonna stick to. Personally I think flowers and candy are just a little bit passé, and they don’t really last for any length of time, so better bet is to get her something that is more permanent and which will remind her for a longer time of what a good son or daughter you are.
While the traditional photo frame is a good idea, if your mother is more techno savvy, give her a digital photo frame. I liked this digital photo frame keychain at Amazon for $14.03. It has a built in rechargeable battery and has a 1.5-inch CSTN LCD full-color display; stores over 60 photos. If your mother is the type who whips out the pictures of the kids to show to all and sundry she will love this!
One idea that grandmothers seem to love is if you bronze their grandchild’s shoes for them. Baby shoe bronzing allows you to celebrate and remember your child’s first experiences in a unique way and it makes a super gift for Grandma! Apparently this process is available in bronze, pewter, gold, porcelain, and silver, and for items other than shoes as well. You can get shoes bronzed here for $39.95 and for an additional $7 you can get the shoes personalized with the child’s name and date of birth! This is a wonderful idea and if I were a grandmother, I would be moved to tears by this lovely idea.
Amazon has some great ideas for mother’s day. They have patio furniture, solar birdbath fountain and garden lanterns for outdoorsy mom, a really good collection of stuff for chef mom, some very elegant items for entertainer mom, tasteful things for decorator mom, and even some very innovative and unusual stuff for trendy mom and mom who has it all! Go on take your pick; you are the best person to decide what your mother would like!
I received LCD Photo Chain yesterday from Electronic Express and I was able to install the software and quickly update a handful of pictures in less then 15 minutes. The Picture Viewer program was fairly easy to use.
Thanks For Posting it . My Wife Loved It.

Hi Nicole,
I used to stress every year about finding the “perfect” gift for my mom, until I became a mom myself and understood that the perfect gift was simply acknowledging her with a call to say “thanks and I love you”. I hope when my kids are older I get that every year.

I love the idea of the photo keychain. It is too late for this year, but what a great idea and to be able to hold 60 pictures is great. I know my mom & grandma will love it (I might have to get one for my self too
.
Thanks for the great ideas — I’ll remember them for next year.
Cheers
