Ask her out to shop with you. Pay attention to what she notices and likes. If you're not sure, ask her if she likes that for "Aunt so-an-so" or for herself. If you see that she is thinking about buying something you want to get for her and you can afford it, tell her, Mom, you know there's a rule that you can't buy yourself presents before Christmas. Keep track of things she likes and write them down when she isn't looking at you. Then distract her with lunch or dinner or something. Go back later and get what she likes.

go shopping with her, and take note of what she appears to like. make your shopping list from that. It is amazing, that we look at the things we would like to have, but don't think we have the money to spare to get them. And I am over the 43 mark, and used to get some pretty "unusual" gifts myself. he he. Give it a try, It worked very well for me with my Mother-In-Law. Because I took the time to spend time with her, and learned her likes and dislikes on our shopping trips, we are now very good friends. Good Luck and God Bless
