Well, it seems to be that time of year. Time to struggle to find appropriate gifts for family members in a rather contrived early morning ceremony that I always find awkward at first but then quite enjoyable in the end. I hope I get Lego this year.
I need something for my mother. Let me describe her for you:
-She loves to read her Bible;
-She needs nothing in terms of reading her Bible or loving Jesus or anything like that;
-She gardens a tiny bit, but she has everything she needs on that front;
-She doesn't cook as a hobby nor does she need anything on that front;
-Her main activities include visiting my grandpa in the nursing home, and visiting my aunts (and probably wishing her son would call more often), and reading her Bible;
I am thinking she needs something that would be useful when she is either visiting or reading. Like a nice housecoat or something. Maybe I could find a cashmere housecoat, or cashmere-lined slippers (since my budget is quite low - actually, very low).
Or maybe you have a better idea. Please help as I struggle with this every year and end up getting her something to replace something she already has that doesn't need to be replaced (e.g. last year, driving gloves).
