What are some ideas for a homemade Mother's Day basket~besides a card & flowers, when mom is diabetic???

My mom is diabetic, and she really don't do much or really needs anything. I am clueless about what to get her for Mother's Day, but I was thinking about making her a homemade basket with some goodies in it... In the meantime I started a little project with my kids %26amp; nephews~~planting flower seeds and decorating the pots etc.. and a homemade card with pictures etc... What would be good to put inside the basket when the person you're giving it too don't need anything, is really not into anything- can't eat chocolate...Don't lit candles, don't do home spas etc... LOL- NO JOKE....She has almost everything...lol... Her house is like a store...lol... I need some ideas of what should I buy... I can buy perfumes because she never get tired of those, I would get her a bottle of wine- but she doesn't drink... I don't want to give her a gift card because that looks ridiculus and it'll mean more if I get something myself.... Any help would be appreaciated... Thanks...

Buy some kind of platter, don't spend much since she has everything, a round pizza pan will do, and get a set of towels, in her favorite color, large bath, small bath, hand towel and wash cloth.


roll them up, large on on the bottom, smaller one in the middle, roll the small 2 up together, make it like a cake.


you can add things around it, or just decorations, one time i pinned little aplique bitterflies, wrapped it in tulle, it doesn't even cost much.

there are some ideas.if not can you get her an outfit, or go out with her.


your mom seems practical, like my mom, they are so hard, mu mother asked for filters for her ice maker in her fridge : )
Reply:You can get the kids to help make her some special diebetic cookies. Maybe some nice face wash and moisturizer (doesn't every woman need that?) Does she like coffee? You can get a nice BIG mug and some different flavours of coffees.
Reply:I was going to suggest candles and perfumed soaps and fancy bath salts..... maybe a nice CD. But i am wondering if maybe your mom is depressed. How about a book? Does she like to read? Happy Mother's Day!

Reply:I saw something at a craft show that was cute...it was a bottle for wine (there was no wine in it, it was just a pretty bottle at this point LOL), and someone took colored lights and put in it. I am a mom, and I think that would make a great center piece.





Does she have any hobbies? I love to crochet so my sons (really their daddy since they are 9 and 7 LOL) know that a gift card to Hobby Lobby is always a safe bet. Last year they asked me what I wanted. I actually liked that because they cared enough to find out if there was anything I *really* wanted, you know? :)





What about going to somewhere like that teddy bear place and making her a teddy bear?
Reply:I had all the grandkids go to Michaels they had 40 percent off coupon this week and we did stepping stone mosaics for grammas outdoor garden or lawn.That way when they go to grammas they see the stones...it wont fit in basket.sorry!


Some kids did all stones and other did foot print or handprint.
