I've literally looked all through the mall, but I just can't find the right thing. Tomorrow I'm going to a place with Greetings and Readings (like Borders or a book store). It has cute things, but I'll be shopping with my friends so I can't spend alot of time. I know she'll love whatever I get her, but does anyone have any good ideas that she would really like. She's very modern and she likes up-to-date things. Any ideas??

Check your bookstore for scrapbooks or coffee table books featuring mothers and daughters, or families, add some of your own personal photographs of various places over the years with cute captions, maybe dig up some old drawings you did as a kid to add, put it in a basket, throw in some bags of coffee/tea and a Trendy looking mug If you feel you still need to spend a bit more put the rest on a gift certificate!!! all done happy birthday mom!! just trust yourself and be creative!!!! good luck

Buy her a cute but personalized birthday card and then purchase a gift card and put it into the envelope. This way you let her know that you love her and she can also go out and get something she likes. Another idea is to get her a membership in a massage parlor or suntanning.

Depending on how old you are, I'd take her out to a nice lunch/dinner and just reminisce about things. This may have her feel enlightened! If you have a camera, take some pictures and print them out for her. Moms love memories!
Then give her something to go with this. I'm not quite sure... I'm sure someone will provide that idea for you. Pj's, Book, really nice candle set, painting, flowers, bath accessories... whatever! Just have fun with it. When you find it, you'll know.

I make gift baskets for my family and friends. Examples: One of my friends loved to cook, so I bought jams, scone mix, honey, etc. other breakfast items, and he loved it. For my sister, I filled the basket with different chocolates and bought a chocolate champagne bottle. I go to the store "Cost Plus, World Market." It's a great store with items from all over the world, similar to a "Pier One" but in my opinion better and somewhat cheaper. Each gift basket I have made cost me under $100. I even go there for Easter to make my daughter and niece baskets every year.

You don't have to know exactly what she would like. Even if you know where she goes to shop or where she goes to hang out with her friends. You can just get a gift certificate for one of these places. Even a gift Visa card with a nice note attached to it with something personal writen on it from you.

I would make something for her. That would be special and sentimental. Make a card and if you are good at writing then write her a poem and tell her how special she is to you. If you don't like that then go with an outfit or give her a gift card so she can decide.

How about doing something for her instead of buying her something? For instance cooking her a nice dinner and making her a birthday cake or doing chores around the house. Or just spending time with her, that is always something nice for a mom to do for her birthday.

how about something from bath and body ? or victoria's secret,like lotion or shower gel? or a gift card to one of her favorite stores or even to the movies? that's what my daughters get me and i always like it especially the gift cards because i can pick something i really like.But you're right,mom's usually like whatever and I don't even want them to spend a lot of money on me. Hope this helps a little.
