Since I had just made a birthday gift for Jake and had all the supplies out, I wrapped my Mom a gift the same way. With 75% off paper and ribbon I had gotten at Michael's.
My mom has a set of Christmas dishes from like 1996 so I e-bay'd a few pieces for her to dole out to her over the Fall and Winter season for her to use this Christmas. I posted about my quest for hostess pieces here. I used this ornament as her gift tag that I've had forever (since my Teddy Bear lover days). I sharpie markered her name on it. I glued it into place with a foam tape square. I wonder if she remembers giving it to me like 15 years ago? lol
I won the e-bay bid for the 8 salad plates she needed for the price of 4!! WooHoo!
I gifted it to her for driving us to and from the airport for our trip to the farm.
She was shocked and amazed...totally unexpected.
I had also just given her the yard of fabric in this Debbie Mumm pattern I got for $5. I gave it to her for watching the boys while we went to the movies. :0)
She is gonna make a few fabric squares for the center of her tables with it.
I made out well with both gifts and she is happy!

ReplyDeleteLove what you did to please your mom. It sounds like she helps you out when she can and definitely deserves your thoughtful gifts. I think about Christmas all year. A big family requires it.
