Charms, Goblets, and KEDs

So my momma's birthday is about a week away and like every year I have the hardest time figuring out what to get her. I mean she has everything she could possibly want and if she didn't have it, my dad has probably already got it! Oh and every time I ask her what she wants she says, "oh, nothing." Seriously? There has to be one thing you want. We all want something!! And she hates when we spend too much on her. Come on, your my momma! I at least what to give you something decent!

Again this year was the same. I asked and got the same old answer! So I am left out on my own again to try and magically pick something to give her. Maybe Katy can hand over her Harry Potter wand!!

So here are my top three things...




OK the first is a wine glass charm from Pandora. My mother likes to have a glass of wine in the evenings when she gets off work and she loves her Pandora bracelet. The second is a funky goblet from Pier One. It has become a little tradition to find a neat wine glass to add to her collection. And finally a pair of nice workout shoes. 

For as long as I can remember my mother has never stepped into a gym. She has never liked to sweat or be out in the heat unless we were at the beach or a pool. So when my mother told me she was joining a gym, I about fell out of my chair. I was surprised, but in a good way. She isn't getting any younger and to keep up with her grand-babies she needs to do something. 

So I told you all of that to tell you that she has been working out in KEDs. Yes they still make those. I was just as shocked as you. So you are probably guessing why those shoes are on the list. She needs a good pair of work out shoes. KEDs are not gonna cut it! She could do worse before she does any good with those things on her feet. 

But in all honesty my momma is my best friend and I want to make sure that we get her something that she appreciates and knows that we put thought behind it. 

My momma on her last birthday! 


Have any of you ever had a hard time picking out a present for a loved one? Or waited until the last minute? Please tell me I am not the only one!!
