She's Crafty

Do you want to give your mom something for Christmas this year, but are just not sure as to what? You want it to be something special and something she will love at the same time? Well, you have come to the right place. There are all types of moms out there, and we have ideas for every one of them.

Let's say that your mom loves healthy cooking and staying fit. Or maybe she just loves cooking. Either way, a kitchen appliance would be perfect for her. Look at what she currently has, and find something that will make her life in the kitchen a better one. Whether it's something new, a replacement or even an upgrade from what she has currently, she will love this type of gift. If she makes breakfast over the stove, get her a griddle if she doesn't already have one. This is a great upgrade to the typical pan approach because she can make more quicker.

Perhaps you mom is the crafty type and is running short on supplies or needs a new scrapbooking desk. Maybe your crafty mom needs additional storage space to organize her tools. There are various things you can get for her that can help her on so many levels. Most fabric stores carry scrapbooking materials. Any furniture outlet will have storage spaces or tables that are ideal for someone crafty. Even Walmart has a decent selection if you are on a budget.

You might even consider her to be a tech-mom, which basically means she likes the latest gadgets or electronics. Think of something she doesn't already have, that maybe she doesn't know about or doesn't have the money for. For instance, if she has a Wii, but doesn't yet have the Xbox Kinect, go ahead and grab her one. It will give her twice the options and twice the fun. If that is a little out of your price range, try looking into a connector that will hook everything up into one device neatly.

You should be able to get the idea by now. But if not, try these basic steps.

Think about what your mom likes doing the most and then look around to see what she already has. You are her kid, so it's a pretty safe bet that she won't notice if you open and close a closet door in a matter of a few seconds. If you still can't think of something along those lines, go with hobby number 2 and so on.
