My brother and I are "adopting" a skull from the Mutter Museum's Hyrtl Skull collection, which was originally used to discredit the pseudoscience of phrenology. After 150+ years, the skulls are a little the worse for wear, and after they restore the one I've adopted they'll put a sign with my mom's name as sponsor on… Read more

Oh Return of Kings, that little internet compendium of fetid little trolls who sit in a troll-pile, rubbing bits of…
Major scale musical wine glasses in a set of 2 from Uncommon Goods. My Mom runs and plays the violin in a string quartet. They're amazing and they play weddings and other events all over Ohio and the nearby states. She's also a total wine snob so it's a perfect fit. I also got her a really nice hair dry and a high end… Read more

Flatter Me Belt, $31, www.flattermebelts.com
I got my mom this and I'll probably end up giving it to her like next week 'cause I'm too excited and I CAN'T KEEP A GODDAMNED SECRET.

Fruitcake. The lady asked for fruitcake so she's getting fruitcake. The fancy expensive kind they sell at Williams and Sonoma. You can go straight to the monks at Assumption abbey and bypass the re-sellers.
Thinking of getting my mom a gift card to a cooking class at Sur La Table. We've talked about doing one of these classes for a while.
My mom is getting a 'butt-warmer' because her new car doesn't have them. Buy them here: http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/mens/men…

Until There's A Cure original cuff-style bracelet in Sterling Silver, $95.00 on UNTIL's website.
My mom is a history nerd who likes books and DVDs of questionable authority (I´m looking at YOU, History Channel!) ... I wanted to give her some fun things to enjoy even though she spends a lot of time by herself (and is happy that way).
Totally got these for my mom a few years ago. She LOVES them. Super comfy. I have tried to steal them on multiple occasions.
Among other things, I got my mom this necklace from Target. It's $16.99 but looks more expensive than that. The gold and bronze combo looks so extremely good in person and I'm considering buying it for myself as well.

My mom lives alone in a big house, so my sister and I looked online and found a cleaning company run by some nice ladies in my mom's area. We payed a couple hundred bucks to have them go to my moms house and make it spotless. We get it to my mom early because she likes to have Christmas parties, so she can have a… Read more
You can now buy Amazon Prime as a gift. That's what I'm getting my MIL — along with a few local food gifts. My mother likes a lot of "things" so shopping for her is a little frustrating as I only like to give and receive items that will actually be useful rather than just wrapped box fillers. I'll be watching everyone… Read more
Korres Volcanic Minerals Mascara ($20). She came to visit me, borrowed my mascara, and loved it, but I think she thinks $20 is a splurge (she's a little iffy about her $16 for Clinique mascara as it is). But mascara is the only thing she wears aside from Garnier BB cream, so it's the perfect combination of: Read more
CozyChic robe! I guess robes are a lame mom gift but I'm buying one for myself and think my mom would love it as well. She's one of those moms who is perpetually cold and walks around with her flannel pajamas tucked into wool socks. This should complete the ensemble. Plus I can't beat my father's gift of an iPad and…
