I always thought it was just a cliche sort of gift. Writing this blog is teaching me all sorts of valuable things I did not previously know :-) Joan, I can’t believe how many women think the spa day is a good gift.

It's much better than a generic card or a card from some crappy store. Nordstrom cards definitely say we care while still admitting we'd probably screw it up if left to our own wits! ;-) Stephanie, I thought the nordstrom card was a great idea too.

I'd love that. I may be the exception, but I would also like exercise equipment (running clothes, shoes, a Nike+ sportband, etc.) and cooking stuff (a new skillet, a fancy ice cream scoop, etc.). I much prefer practical things like that. ;) .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/metropolitanmama/~3/oihk6vgYvJQ/" rel="nofollow">Disneyland with a baby and preschooler : Part II</a> =-.

This was the problem in writing the list for moms. It's just too difficult to nail down the personalities of moms because they are so hard to generalize. My twin sister criticized me for including the flash drives in this list because she doesn't like that sort of thing. However, my wife says they're just about the cutest things ever. My mom says a day at the spa is not something she's ever wished for, but I'm sure my two sisters would really like it. go figure, right! :-) Hi Walter!

She has a love-hate relationship with plants. She loves them, but won't take care of them so they die. You're right about kitchen stuff, but for different reasons. I'm the chef so anything bought for the kitchen is a gift for me, not her, regardless of whether I'd ever use it. A gift card, even one to Nordstrom would result in instant death. I'd fare better picking out something I know she won't like and taking her to return it. I might get away with it if I also purchased something else nice that she could open Christmas Day. She's a sucker for jewelry, it doesn't have to be expensive, it does have to be nice. With her it should be gold, but the stones don't have to be real. Love the idea of the day spa. She's even mentioned it. As for your list of don'ts, don't, not unless you've got a death wish. I do have to laugh about the cleaning suppies, though. Two years ago for Father's Day I asked for a vacuum cleaner. Ours had broken and I was getting tired of looking at the carpet. Although she used it a lot more thanI did, itmight have been the best Father's Day gift I ever got. Love the gift lists, but I guess my wife is different than most.

I asked my wife about those Mimobots, Wolf, and she thought they were really cute too -- I'm glad those were on the mark :-) Thanks for the encouragement.
