Kitty Kat, I will be praying for your Mum. I am so sorry that she is not in the best of health. Her birthday present from her precious daughter-a photograph album. Fill it full of pictures of you and her. Family outings, your brothers and sisters, just crammed it full of pictures of the people she loves and loves her.
Go out and take pictures of her favorite places, her church, her garden, or back porch. Anything that means a lot to her. Do you have any new babies in the family. Make sure you included photos of them. I know I would love this, then if she has to go back into the hospital she can take her memories with her.
It's lonely in the hospital, and when she's depressed she can reach for her album you made with lots of love and smile. Hobby stores have all kinds of new ideas for albums, you can spend a little or a lot, and they have things to decorate the pages, it's amazing what you can find. I really believe she would love this, and of course leave a few pages blank, and put a note on them saying they are reserved for pictures of you and her together doing stuff in the future, so she will have something to look forward to.......Honey, any gift give with the love you feel for her will be the perfect one!
God bless us all..............

Hello!! :o) Sorry to hear that your mum isn't feeling well. I hope she gets better soon. Does she watch movies? If so - maybe a couple of DVDs would be nice. Or if she is bed-ridden, maybe a nice new table-radio with a built in CD player. [And a couple of CD's] OR how about a nice new robe and some slippers. Or new sheets for the bed. Sometimes - people who are allergic to flowers appreciate a nicely framed photo of flowers. Maybe you could take the photo yourself. Just a few ideas for you. Craig!! :o)

I think she'll be the happiest if you gift her a bouquet of 48 big bright red paper roses with lot of leaves and stick but make sure there are no thorns. (or better if you add a small handcrafted and bordered card with a saying "roses for you mom and thorns for me"...or somethin similar) The red roses vibrant in their colour and the stick and leaves signify life which is always green. This will be an encouragement for her to greatly enjoy and to remember not only this day but also look forward of the best of health in the days ahead! Good Luck!

What about a suprise party, ring up her friends, get the family around and spoil her rotten !!! I know manypeople say the don't like suprises, but believe me when it happens they love being the centre of attention, and the y do appreciate the effort you have made
Just an idea :)

Sorry to hear your mum is ill. I would treat her to a nice facial and manicure or if you can afford it a weekend away at a health spa. Total pampering would make her feel so good and a bit better.
Good luck

A nice comfy bathrobe and slippers to wear in and out of hospital. Been stuck there and it's a big comfort.

do you knit or anything? i bet she would love a hand made gift.
Maybe one of those heat packs with lavendar? Or a gift certificate for a massage or manicure/pedicure or a night out for dinner and a movie. Something to pamper her.

Well being 48 the only thing she'd want is to be shown that you care so just spoiler her with love
