Re: Holiday shopping/gifts thread!

[(Anonymous)]

I have items planned but haven't bought yet. My mom is giving me serious trouble like she does every year. The thing is that she's retired and her only hobbies are reading and movies, and she already buys everything she's into + a movie pass. She also hates the gimmicky, fun shit ("I hate clutter") and she's always low-key dieting so food doesn't work either.

Does she drink tea or coffee? There all kinds of fun/rare/obscure teas and coffees and their paraphernalia out there, and tea and coffee are dieting-friendly.

She does like coffee! In a very I ONLY DRINK THE STUFF FROM COSTCO AND IT MUST BE BLACK way, but she might accept a fun holiday variant lmao. Thanks!

Maybe you could find her really good autobiography of an actor or author she likes? It's so hard to shop for people who buy everything they want and don't like much of anything else.

Maybe a service-type thing, like Dollar Shave Club or a massage or a car detailing?

tbh the only books I *know* she likes are trashy romance novels, and she's slightly embarrassed by it so she doesn't like other people to know about it. The service-type thing is a REALLY GOOD idea though. I might look up something for car washes.

Yay! :)

This is like my Mom, too. Actually both my parents are terrible to shop for because they don't need *stuff*

I might go for another Open Table gift certificate for the two of them. That seemed to work out well, before.

Right? Last year, my mom finally had something she wanted (a meat thermometer) and then she went and bought it for herself months in advance.

I've also relied on gift cards for her. I try to avoid it because it's a "thoughtless" gift, but it's just one of the few things she seems to end up using. :\
