Gifts for mothers who have everything

It's interesting:
"In researching this speech, I’ve tried to find some dirt on Linda, but neither her brother nor her best friends could give me anything. As I'm sure you noticed it wasn’t a problem that I had with Paul. Linda is well liked by everyone, and I have never met anyone who has had anything but good things to say about her – which is wonderful for Paul, but a bit inconvenient for me at this precise moment. It means that I have to continue to shower her with platitudes. But seriously, Linda, you have had a huge positive impact on Paul, and we now speak of Paul ‘BL’ and ‘WL’ - ‘before Linda’ and ‘with Linda’."

Someone who "has everything" may be secure and comfortable in life, but finding a gift for such a person can make you feel insecure and uncomfortable. It can be very frustrating to shop for a gift for that person, but it doesn't have to be. Mothers may consider themselves as having "everything," but there are always options available to shower them with gifts.

1. Bugging Out

   • Make the day of a mother who has everything but still yearns for more "offspring" by donating money and naming an animal, bug or other creature in her honor. Add to the family by "adopting" a cockroach from the Bronx Zoo, where for a $10 donation, moms may have a Madagascar hissing roach christened in their names. Note that the number of animals and bugs available may vary- as of February 2011, the Bronx Zoo had 58,000 cockroaches available for motherly gift-giving occasions. In many cases, naming results in a certificate or other keepsake, perfect for framing and sliding into a gift bag.

   Quiet Time

   • A mother who has everything, including one or more children, may often put aside her own restorative time in favor of her kids. While the idea of time is unquantifiable and not really for sale, purchasing a gift of quiet time for an overworked mom may be the best intangible present she receives. Giving a massage certificate ensures "me time" for the mom, and comes with benefits such as improved circulation, reduced blood pressure, lowered stress and higher range of motion. Moms get to pick their style of massage and can save the gift for when they truly need to get away.

   Hit the Books

   • A mom who has everything may indeed have a lot of "stuff," but chances are, she values her family and memories more than any giftable item. Maximize the idea of giving an actual gift but one that offers a way to keep memories safe, secure and portable by creating a photo book. A variety of online websites allow photo-book creation, which involves uploading digital images, sorting them into place on pages, choosing a background, adding text and captions and having the book printed. Most sites walk users through step by step and offer suggestions on themes and layout. A snap-happy mom may appreciate corralling all her favorite pictures into one hardy book as a picture-perfect gift.

   Gifts That Keep on Giving

   • Whether the mom in concern has everything because she shops dutifully and keeps the closets stocked up or simply has received plenty of presents over time, there's a way to remind her of your appreciation throughout the year with gifts that appear monthly, but don't end up taking up too much room. By subscribing to one of many gift-of-the-month clubs, mothers get 12 reminders a year (or however many you choose for the plan) of their children. Gift clubs include options such as fruit, wine, chocolate, beer, flowers, cookies and other perishables that won't stockpile too long. Other nonperishable gift clubs are also available, such as book of the month, porcelain figurines and bracelet charms.
