I wish I could buy my mom something for Christmas I just don’t have the money
Your mom would love the gift of some of your time. As a senior, I am not impressed with things. In fact, I am trying to get rid of things. I so regret that I missed time with my mom.
My mother’s favorite gift… Four kids, each one has a color of notepaper. Write happy memories, fold and put all into a jar. Most precious, treasured gift. Twenty years later, we added notes from grown grandchildren.
A nice, long visit where you catch me up on the news of your life would be a wonderful gift. An invitation to go with your family to dinner is nice. A photo album of you and your family is a gift that keeps on giving. Basically, spend time with me so I don’t feel forgotten or unloved. I don’t need more “stuff.” I just need you.
I always love a good book!! And it won’t break the bank❤️
Just spending time together.
I love nothing more than a cup of coffee with my daughter
I just want to hear your voice. A call lets me know you are thinking of me for a moment anyway.
I love seeing the precious smiles on my grandkids faces on Christmas morning. That is the most precious gift to me.
Us four kids: Mom, what do you want for Christmas / your birthday / Mother’s Day?
Mom: All I want is for you kids to get along!
Poor Mom.
Just be there, make me feel that I am still relevant and important in your life. Don’t give me a token, give me you!
A phone call once a month to catch everyone up.
I would like time with my family. Also, any gifts should be consumables . I’m getting rid of things.
Time with family – immediate family AND extended family. Have the extended family grandkids grow up as close as we were/are
Most of us want ‘you’. Time with you … pls. Don’t give us any more STUFF. I am trying to get rid of STUFF!! Find time for me .. I know I am old (73) and not ‘hip’ (hey, both of mine have been replace: ceramic/titanium steel! .. I walk a little slower (3 back surgeries & anticipated knee surgery) .. I want time with the grandchildren & you. P.S … don’t ask me to come babysit so you & spouse can ‘take a fun trip’ .. take the trip … take me too. I like fun … still.
I agree. The companies have it wrong. All family and no presents wouldbe enough. Now we exchange limited presents, and each family gives an experience for all to do together. This year was the Museum of Fine Arts Tudors exhibit and a great meal in a lively restaurant!
Number One…All Moms want is for their children to be close friends!!!!!
Because when she knows that ..her heart is full!!!!
Number Two…keep in touch as often as possible . . Via in person. Or messages via text..or call her often!!
