Mothers Day Present Idea for MY Mom

I've been so busy at work and home that I completely forgot about Mothers Day. I'm sure my husband and daughters will make me breakfast and color some cards, which is all I really want and need.

But I completely forgot about getting something for my own mother. She's a great mom and grandma, and I'd like to send her something little (under $30) to let her know that we remembered her and love her. She hates flowers, so that's out. Do any of you have ideas on gifts that I could order at Amazon -- if I order soon I can do the one day shipping and have it arrive tomorrow.

Thanks!

Oh - and she hates almost all "girly" things. No mani/pedis, tea sets, lacey things, etc. She's so tough to buy for!

What can I do next?

They have these great life journals that has sets of questions taking you through different stages of your life which you can answer. Childhood, school years, working, marriage like: Describe your room growing up, who was your best friend? What clubs did you belong to in school, Who was your first kiss, What was your first job? Who was the first president you voted for?

There's alot more in depth questions but most of them will be fun for her to answer. Its a great way for anyone to leave their legacy behind.

Why not send her flowers? (Is she close by--take her a basket of pansies if she likes flowers in her yard.)

Or get her a gift card to her favorite place, be it a garden center, hair salon, craft store, gym, etc.
