This will be my wife's first Mothers Day and I'd like to do/get her something special. I'm a shitty gift giver and not the least bit creative, so I need some help here.

Idears?

"Something" with a date on it or can be engraved on it. Like a mother and child figurine with 2013 on it.

Do the old retro hands in the plaster with the dates like Diane said.... You can add color too it as well... Personal touch....

One of the girls here at work says "a locket with a picture of the baby and the date engraved on it"

One of the guys says " a box of condoms"

Hey buddy, I know time is an element, but you can have a birth stone added to her wedding ring? It's a really nice addition to her already engagement or wedding ring. Just a thought.

My wife isn't one for trinkets and nick nacks...My mother loves anything from Precious Moments.

We had glass ornaments made of our childrens hand or foot...http://pinkiesandpiggies.net/

A card and some flowers may not seem like a big deal but presentation is everything...I always leave work before her and on those special occassions I would sneak into the baby's room and put the card in the crib so that she would see the card when we she got the babies up in the morning.

Has anyone mentioned a Mother's Ring? Not sure your budget, but on a short time frame, a mothers ring can be picked up quicker than something can be made or engraved. Just a thought. I am not very good at this stuff either.
