If you've never had the misfortune of dealing with a dust ruffle, consider yourself blessed.

I say "bed skirt"... "dust ruffle" makes you sound like you're a 70-year-old woman who thinks people still care about coming to visit.

NO, and that is a blasted mom thing you should never fall for.
For heavens sake, put the ruffles on her bed ( who else has dust ruffles? I dont know anybody else who has one). It is her way of telling you that" I am too old to lift the mattress to put the bed skirt on the middle". If a dust ruffle is another name for a bed skirt, it is a very easy thing to do.
(One man job) Lift one side up, arrange one side nicely, scrunch the other half in the middle of the mattress. Ok, next is go to the other unmade side, lift the mattress, find the scrunched side. Pull the rest over the unmade side. Just be neat and tidy. Total time needed -5 minutes
(Two man job)- Lift entire mattress, put bed skirt on neat and tidily, put top mattress back on. Done in less than 2 minutes.

Then buy her a real present.
She will love nice smelling bath lotions( cheap gift), a trip, a fancy dinner at a fancy restaurant where she has to dress up, all her hairdressing appointments paid for for a year etc. spa priveleges, take her shopping for a ccouple of outfits if there are some family celebrations in the horizon.

YES, I would buy HER a complete BEDDING set in HER favorite colors, WITH extra soft toss pillows, and accesories . I would dust , vacuume , wash the windows. PUT on THE dust ruffle AND pick up DUST BUNNIES through out the house. BUY HER MATCHING curtains.... BUY her FLOWERs AND take her to lunch and a movie... sit and have tea and talk about happy and SaD things....
I would CALL HER every DAY! Just to hear what she had for dinner the night before.....

Are you serious? A dust ruffle is easy to put on. She is your Mom and she deserves any help she can get from her son. She raised you after all. You should at least do that for her and get her a gift as well!

Yes! Then I would also give her and IOU for the remainder of the year to change or help change the sheets on her bed.
For my mother, who had breathing problems, changing the sheets was a very difficult chore.
I would go over and change the sheets once a week. This was much appreciated.
When my grandmother passed away, we found dozens of boxes of talcum powder and such still in their original Christmas wrappings. People just kept giving her powder that she did not need.
Give your mother "a hand" and some of your time for Christmas instead of a token gift she does not need or want......

PS) I hate putting dust ruffles on beds!

Well, my mother is 84 and wouldn't know a dust ruffle from a wok, ( she has dementia ) so thankfully I won't be dealing with this issue.

A dust ruffle is for fancy people only. There is no place for such a luxury item in either my hut or my parents tent.

My mom's dead now so I'd think she'd returned to haunt me. I have a dust ruffle (aka a bed skirt) on my bed and it was no trouble putting it on. All you have to do is remove the mattress FIRST, lazy.
OMg I think I just channeled my mom.

Umm, I would do anything for my mom, so yes. Although, I do not know what a dust ruffle is, I think I would do it... what is it anyway?
