ok, I'm in trouble. BBBBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGG problem!

I don't know what to buy my mom for Christmas. We have the best relationship ever, considering I'm away from her at least 6 months a year.

I bought her almost everything: when I was in Prague, I bought her the loveliest gold necklace with an amethist, then for her anniversary a stilish silk foulard. For the 25 years anniversary of her wedding, old silver double picture frames.

Last Christmas I bought her an umbrella designed by a fashion designer here in Paris...

This year I'm like... blank. Not a clue. Nothing. Ever happened to you? Each day I freak out more... I'm such a pathetic looser

Your not a pathetic Loser!! Goof Ball

I hate shopping for my mother to, sucks buying things for people who already have everything

Does she have lawn darts?

Geez Twinkle....the way you started the post....I thought someone had been arrested! (Oh yeah....that only happens in MY family....haha!)

As a mom myself, I prefer gifts which are special between my kids and myself. Something they get me which reminded them of me and my personal character when they saw it. It's not the money involved....it's the relationship that the gift brings into remembrance.

What does she collect? Is there anything you and her did together while you were young or a place you visited together? Is there a certain song or book or color which reminds you of her? Think about stuff along those lines. THAT will be the gift which touches her heart....because it's about you and her.....not just a present.

I stopped stressing myself out about what to get poeple now everyone gets a gift card.

twinkle · 12-02-2004, 02:58 PM

A gift card.... that would leave her speachless, ROTFL!!!

Merika · 12-03-2004, 09:02 AM

I buy the best gift I can for the cheapest price. If I gave gift cards based on the price of my gifts.....they would all be pissed!

Cindy · 12-27-2004, 10:46 PM

Now I want to know what you got her, Twinkle!

Duke · 12-28-2004, 01:57 AM

I'm curious myself.

twinkle · 12-31-2004, 10:37 AM

Sorry guys, that's top secret!!! Just know that it has the 'Clinique" brand on it

Miss you all very dearly!!! Talk to you in 4 days when I get back to Paris.

Have the greatest New Year's Eve party ever!!!!!!

Love,

Twinkle

my sis in law works at sears in the clinique dept so I have an idea as to what it might be. :wink:

Good gift! I get clinique stuff regularly from her and I love it all!

Duke · 12-31-2004, 12:33 PM

Nice to hear from you twinkle.

I always get a bit of a chuckle from when star posts directly after you because I always think of twinkle twinkle little star.

Merika · 12-31-2004, 01:04 PM

TWINKLE....we all missed you! Are you back in Paris or just checking in while still on holiday?

I agree Duke....having a twinkle and a star on the same forum is....kind of ......MAGICAL!

Duke · 01-02-2005, 03:04 AM

It always makes me chuckle but I'm easy to please.
