Would be alright if I asked you some questions, to get your ideas flowing?

What does your mom like to do when she is on vacation? Does she take something to keep her hands busy? For example needlework, knitting or other handiwork crafts. If she is a prolific crafter, she might be interested in a book to give her some ideas about how to sell craft online and create an outlet to share her pieces, as well as help fund the next project.

If Mom's a quilter, then she might enjoy a novel featuring quilting in the story line.

Then again, maybe your mom likes to challenge her grey matter, and is a puzzler. There are lots of crossword and Sudoku books that when teamed up with additional thoughtful gift ideas, make great presents for mom.

Is your mom a gardener? You could make a gift basket with some new garden tools, a few packets of her favorite types of seeds, gardening gloves and a gardening magazine to get her inspired for the coming season. Another great idea is an indoor garden for the kitchen to grow herbs and salad fixings all year around.

Technology can be very cool - especially when it helps older ones stay connected with the younger ones - and this clever digital photo frame does just that.

Perfect for people on the go that use their smart phone camera all the time - the can instantly share their photos with their loved ones! Truely a gift that keeps on giving!

We stayed with friends whose guest bathroom is complete luxury, including beautiful Bamboo Bath Towels. My husband and I enjoyed using them so much that we bought a set as soon as we returned home. The primary reason was not actually for their supreme softness and pleasurability of use - we loved the fact they don't get 'that' smell - the anti-bacterial properties of the bamboo fabric sold us on bamboo bath towels.

So if you want to give someone special a gift they will treasure, I highly recommend a set of Bamboo Bath Towels such as these.
