 The best book to give your mom, no matter what your age, is a 'Why I love My Mother book'.
Some mothers love reading and they might appreciate a romantic novel or even a biography, but there cannot be any mum who would not appreciate her very own, personalised book. This is something which you can create yourself. Even if you are only a child your father, granny or another relative can help you. But it could be a joint effort with your brothers and sisters. The book can be as a simple as loose sheets of paper clipped together or something more substantial created in a journal or notebook. Here are some ideas for creating such a book.
It might be a good idea to jot things down, as they happen, into a rough book. This way the actual gift can be quite neat and you can organise it whichever way you want to. You can intersperse your writing with family stories, memorabilia and happy memories plus a great selection of photographs. You will be surprised at how quickly you will fill such a book. The biggest cost in this gift is your time and this will be something which your mother will appreciate more than any expensive gift. You may also be surprised at the fun you can have putting such a book together; the memories it stirs may be funny, poignant or a mixture of many emotions. If this book is created with love it will be the best book your mum will ever receive, be read over and over again and really show her that you care. Don't forget as well that you will benefit from this gift by remembering lots of instances, which you may have otherwise forgotten, or would not have even noticed as they happened. Above all you will realise more than anything just how precious your Mother is to you. Perfect for Christmas, Mother's Day and Birthdays too!

 As a woman aged sixty plus what is my perfect birthday or Christmas gift?
All of us are very different individuals and, what someone feels is the ideal gift, may fill someone else with loathing. I suppose some of this will depend on:-
In general it is best to steer well clear of any gifts that are really household items, such as cleaners and washing machines, as these are neither personal nor appropriate for any birthday, let alone a special one. However, I suppose if the birthday girl is really struggling, and in financial meltdown, a large household gift may be appreciated. Overall though, if you can make the gift very personal and something that you know they have always wanted, you will be on to a winner. Something luxurious such as an extra special perfume may go down a treat. Finally how about arranging for a spray of her favourite flowers to be sent every week of the coming year? Now that will surely bring some sunshine into her life and help make her year a truly special one. Some more ideas https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/gifts/shop-by-recipient/for-her http://www.prezzybox.com/60th-birthday-gifts-for-her.aspx  'Tis Christmas Day now Both far and near Yet in so many places there will be little cheer. Spare a thought then for others this day Those with no smile, no joy coming their way. The sad and the lonely, the sick and the poor those fighting in countries war torn and more. If you are enjoying a Christmas more blessed is it because you are lucky and you live in the West? For all of our troubles, and all of our strife, most of us live a reasonable life. Some may fare better, such is the way, but none should have nothing this Christmas Day. Look in your heart and share what you can. I bet you are stuffed having eaten all but the pan. But Christmas is more than gifts and pure greed it is about helping others especially those in need. Even giving a little can do so much good and happiness is catching unless your heart is wood.  Santa Claus
When I was young it seemed strange to me that at Christmas time I would sit on the knee, of a rather fat man all dressed in red who on Christmas Eve left presents on my bed. Just how this man travelled here and then there I was not sure and so I would stare, when Santa appeared at our school or a store, and then in a flash be gone through the door. How could this man ride on a sleigh that flew through the sky on our special day? How could he give to so many so fast such beautiful toys that were made to last?. The strangest thing though was that on Christmas night he would climb down our chimney, which must have been tight. So that when we awoke, early Christmas day, our presents were there but not Santa's sleigh. Still, as we all know, now we are grown, mostly its magic bringing Santa to our home. Its best not to wonder just how things appear but enjoy what you are given for Christmas this year. |
