What to get a woman who hates sweets for Mothers Day? Any items usually end up for a Garage Sale later on!?

She doesnt like chocolates, or sweets. I buy something for her and it ends up going for a garage sale next year. (That really is an irritante when I find something I "think" she will like and she ends up pitching it later. I need something "sentimental value"?? Or, something she will cherish and not devalue later...

    MAKE HER SOMETHING!

    I know you don't have much time, but it sounds like you have lots of skills, and imagination... put your mind to work!

    Write her a letter about how much she means to you, and frame it... You have a pretty nice start on your response to "Which dream would you like to come true." TELL HER THAT!

    She'll love it more than anything you can buy!!!

    Let me know what you did, and how she liked it... I'm holding you to it :o)

    It sounds like both of you are really blessed to have eachother!

    A framed poem about motherhood.

    A knickknack that matches her collection.

    A book on a subject she talks about a lot.

    Something you buy at a garage sale so it is inexpensive and doesn't upset you when she pitches it!

    Get her some pretty flowers or a gift certificate to a place she likes to shop!!! Then, you know it won't end up at a garage sale!

    the best thing to do is ask! indirectly do a bit of detective work into what she really needs/wants
