Any suggestions on a Mother's Day present for a mother in law who has everything? She has expensive taste but my budget won't allow for such indulgences.

It is the HEART and THOUGHT that counts. Not MATERIALs.

Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:
Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!
The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.
Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.
Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.
This is a really beautiful poem too!
Women have strengths that amaze us.
They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up for injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without new shoes so their children can have them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.

Mother's Day has been so overly commercialized that anyone gives any mother a present. This day is to celebrate your mother and no one else. Don't burden yourself with such needless protocol and just congratulate her, if that. Believe me, nothing you could possibly give her would placate her desire to make you feel like crap anyway.

Get her a foot rest (under $20 at Ikea) it will be a thoughtful and luxury gift she would not likely get herself.

I would have to suggest a nice bouquet of spring flowers (not roses) to expensive. That always worked for my husband with my mom.
Good Luck!!

get her a gift certificate for a pedicure in one of those places where you get a nice massage chair, a foot spa and all. it's usually quiet affordable and always a winner!

I do not think that it is your responsibility
to buy a gift for your mother in law.
She is not YOUR mother!
