So I've been racking my brain trying to think of what to get my Mother for her 50th. I mean, it has to be really special. I got her a Mother's ring with all of her kids birthstones for Mother's day so jewelery is out. I'm not terribly rich but can get her something decent. So, I'm throwing her a surprise party, which should be enough, but I want something for her to remember the day. So, what do you think about me taking her and my daughter - her only grand child, (and I'm her only daughter) to have our portrait taken together professionally?
Do you think it's special enough? If not, ANY IDEAS?!
Thank you!! :)

I would love it!!! Just keep in mind that mother's do not want you to break yourself to give them a gift. I would much rather have something from the heart - I know it sounds cliche but it is true. I think the portrait is a perfect idea.

Im sure your mom will L.O.V.E this idea. Its not crazy expensive but its also something memorable and from the heart that she can keep out to look at all the time! My mom loves that kind of things....im sure since shes a grandma she'll love to show off her lovely grandchild and daughter!!! Nice thinking with the party too....shes the big 5 0!!!! thats something to celebrate even tho im sure she doesnt....lol...my moms not quite there yet but in 6 years im doing it for her! well...have fun with the party planning and pics!

I'm sure mom will be very happy with just the party, but a portrait of the 3 girls (her, you, and you daughter) will probably be treasured in later years.

You're definitely very filial. Having the portrait is great, it's something worth remembering for a whole life. And having a party is also advisable. I believe your mom will be touched by all that you'll have done for her. :-)

That's a great idea! Plus get her some nice frames for the photos you get.

Get her a years supply of batteries for her toys.
