If your mom was just about to turn 50 what would you buy her? Jewellery maybe? The thing is I don't know my mom very much at all and her 50th birthday is a big deal. She did want to go up in a hot air balloon but that doesn't look likely to happen now as her health hasn't been good (She has diabetes and her hypos are out of control). Oh and the weather. We got our first lot of snow today; it's pretty deep and hard, not all fluffy. So back to the subject of my mom’s birthday it's on the 20th Dec. Is jewellery a good option? It's not likely to offend is it...? She does like porcelain dolls but I have no clue whatsoever of brands. Which is a good make/quality etc. Another thing she likes is ornaments. Again not sure what type. Brass maybe...

What would you do/get for a mom you barely know? Hmm

While I'm here I just want to pimp this new colorizations community. Also art_battle if you have time please join up to both. Go on its fun! :D

ETA: I would just like to thank you astartexx, anon and bunnythenavia for your suggestions.

Lets hope she likes them!



ETA: x2 My mother is going up in a hotair balloon. Not my choice but my sisters... Hmmm.

Jewellery is always a good option. But I really like the china dolls, they are expensive and if she is a collector it's likely that she has the most joy with one of those. Perhaps you could ask someone, which one she wants? One of the best gifts me and my sister gave my mom were portray photos, she cried tears of joy.

And now I have to check your art battle result, my grandma had her 86th birthday today and that meant big cleaning yesterday and backing two cakes. Plus I was already in the mood for some furniture moving, so we finally got the two commodes from my late grandma from the garage, oh, I'm rambling onto the field of honor now!

I would love to get her a doll but she does have soooo many and she likes the really expensive stuff, I just don't think my budget could stretch to £250+ And I don't think I can ask the rest of my family what they think...What I am thinking now is something along the lines of pictures of the grandkids imprinted onto a leather bag and purse... It might not sound great but I think it's quite nice. That or jewellery...

I've seen your battle - I shall go comment shortly once I've caught up with a couple of other posts. Happy Birthday goes to your grandma. I hope she has a nice time yesterday. :D
