Mom's Birthday Gift
So my mom's birthday is this Friday. It's always tough this time of year because it's my mom's birthday then mine, then my dad's, then my grandma's all Between Nov. 5th and Dec. 1st. Then there's Christmas shortly after! 
Anyway, so my mom's birthday is first- it's this Friday. I'm kinda broke but I still want to get her something nice. I have a $60 gift card to Macy's so if I could use that towards it, that would be excellent but I don't know what to get her. She wears jewelry but not that much or too often. She loves cameo earrings(pic below), but the ones I see are always cheap. She loves to bake but she has every baking thing under the sun. My father always buys her books so that's out, she's not particularly into electronics. HELP!
Last year I got her a Coach purse and a Coach wallet for Christmas. And they are both still in excellent condition.

Re: Mom's Birthday Gift

I would love to get her something like that but she's like the functional type. Like she'd ooh and ahh over it and then stick it in her jewelry box along with the pearl earrings I got her the year before! 
Is it your birthday, too?!

Maybe not jewelry then? My mom always says she wants it but then never wears it because she has "nowhere to wear it to"
Does she need new shoes or sneakers? What does she use/wear a lot? Does she like fancy stuff for the home?
Yup, it's mine too!

Re: Mom's Birthday Gift

Sounds just like my mom! Someone else suggested maybe nice leather gloves and a hat/scarf, so I'm thinking maybe that.
If not then something for the home- she always loves home stuff but I feel like that's what I always get her.
And Happy Early Birthday!!!

I love Cameo's! It's just I can never find nice ones. Those ones I posted are just an example in case someone doesn't know what they are- they are from Italy or something. lol! All the ones I see are fake and cost like $8. Those are something she'd actually wear but I just don't know where to get them. Any ideas?
