Christmas is near and I really haven't even begun to Christmas shop. My Mother is the hardest person to buy for. I mean, she doesn't need anything and when you ask her if she wants anything; it's always the same thing, "Don't buy me anything".
I hate that answer. She's does so much for everyone and I'd like to be able to do something for her. I'm been racking my brain trying to figure out what to get her even though she told me twice, already, not to buy her anything. My sisters and I were going to go in together on a remote starter; but I kind of brought it up to my mom and she didn't want us to spend that kind of money. Scratch that idea. And that's really what it comes down to; she doesn't want us to spend our money on her.
Well, I have an inexpensive; yet something she needs gift in mind. Of course, I can't tell you what it is because she reads my blog. At work yesterday, I was mentioning my gift idea to someone and they said get her a streamlight flashlight. I thought that was kind of a weird gift because who buys someone a flashlight for Christmas? (unless you're a man)
When they said a flashlight, I was like, "What?". They said, well she lives alone and if the power goes out this Winter, she would have one. I'm still not convinced about that gift but they are nice flashlights. Opticsplanet even has an Emergency Flashlight Station that would be a great idea in case of emergency.
Nothing in stone yet, so give me some ideas of what to get a mom that has and doesn't want anything? So, she says.
