My mom's 65th birthday is next month. We are taking her out to eat. She is old school Italian so she is going to refuse going out to eat when she can cook at home. But she will be forced to go against her will...Chat Icon

Anyways what can I get for this old school lady...Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I had that done for my father's 60th and he loved it. We got it with all the grandkids. We went to one of those vendors in the middle of the mall (the ones that have the video camera on at all times) Chat Icon . It came out SO good. It was more like a fleece kind of material than the normal throw. ITA!!!

Good Luck!!

LOL! DH's grandma is the same way; she'll cook a huge dinner for us all on HER bday before she'll even think of going out!!!! I'm so bad that I'm no help and can't think of a gift...but it's always lovely to send a beautiful flower arrangement and some chocolates!

We want to take her out to an Italian restaurant but all she'll say is "why go out and eat what I can make"...Chat Icon

If you are interested in the blankets made with the pictures, I saw them being done at CVS as well.

Yea...definately do not get it done at Sears. They wants over 200.00 for one and I didnt even love it (the sample on the wall).

I had one made for my mom years ago...I think we got it from personalcreations.com. It is beautiful! But it takes a while for them to do it so I am not sure if you have enough time to order from them.

I got my Grandma the "grandma throw" and a pillow that had "memories" embroidered on the top, I had her and my grandfathers wedding picture scanned onto the front, and underneath the year they got married. I also took her to see "My father's jewish, my mother's italian and I'm in therapy." She LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
