Ideas for a 65 yr old lady who likes gardening, healthy cooking and art. I feel like there is nothing I can get her that she doesn't already have. She doesn't wear jewelry, doesn't go to the spa...she mainly spends her time saving the Philippines, organizing cultural community events. I have no clue what to get her...I think I went to Pier 1 for the last several birthdays! |
I hate buying for my parents for that exact reason -- while they don't live the high life, they pretty much have every material thing they want.
How about a really luxurious flower arrangement? Beautiful, but doesn't last (i.e., not something else to store). ![]() |
Your mom sounds awesome!
What about new gardening gloves? Not expensive, but gardening gloves get disgusting after awhile. Does she have one of those cushions to kneel on? Subscription to a magazine she would like? |
cushion for gardening? I don't think so, I didn't even know there was such a thing. That might be perfect since she is achier (sp?) these days. |
maybe the cushion with an exotic flower for her to plant in the garden? |
There are also cushions for gardening that also have handrail type things (http://www.smithandhawken.com/catalog/product...categoryId=cat120313) which are great b/c they help you stand up after being on your knees for a while! My mom is an avid gardener and doesn't like flower arrangements but I'll send her a plant for her garden or rose bush from Jackson & Perkins. |
I love to send people gifts from http://www.plowhearth.com/welcome.asp. They have awesome, cool gardening things! |
I'm a big fan of the Aerogarden.
Though I love the idea of a cushion for her to kneel on. If you're giving an exotic flower, make sure it'll suit the climate she lives in. (If you're planning on having her plant it) |
Anyplace to get this around NOVA? The kneeling cushion isn't available til May! |
