What are you getting your mom for Christmas?

We was going to get my mom a netbook (mini laptop) but those are $250 and we can't come up with that much money. She wants my old digital camera (I'm getting a new one and she loves my old one) so she is getting that. She loves decorating, places like Lowes, Italian everything, and antique stores. I was wondering if there was anything digital she might like that I don't know about.. besides those digital picture frames, she don't like those. So I'm just searching for ideas! Thanks<3

1. I'd love to buy Mum a present, but sadly she died 4 years ago. RIP Mum.
2. I stopped exchanging presents with my mother some 20 years ago.
3. My Mother still lives in Norway, so I'm off the hook to a point. I did send her a gift certificate (you can do that through email now you know) for her to use at her favorite shop in Tromsø. One of the coolest things I ever saw in an antique store was called a "kitchen salamander". I wanted that thing so bad, but restrained myself. It was what American Pioneer women used to brown the tops of their pies. It was a long piece of iron supported on two legs with a round plate on one end. They'd lower the plate end into their fire until it was hot then put it on the top of their pie. I'm into cooking so I thought it was one of the neatest things I'd ever seen in my life. Since she's into antiques, think about her other interests and likes and cruise antique stores looking for something unique that "fits". If she has a curio cabinet, maybe some antique Italian glassware? As far as digital things - maybe some photo editing software that's relatively user friendly to go with that digital camera? That kind of thing is always fun! Good luck!
