Hey JAG, what would you suggest as a (late) X-mas present for a woman you dont particularly like, but feel obligated to get something for? And while a bomb would be fun, probably not practical.... I certianly hope that wasn't your mom?

Well, the "why" of it is because she's my sons mother, and we are at least still civil towards each other, and I don't want my boy to see me snub her, but shes the type that usualy gets what she likes when she wants it, and doesnt talk much about present-y type things she wants or is interested in. I know I know. terrible that I dont already know her tastes, but even when we were together, buying her presents was a task in and of itself.... Maybe its just that "Guys are bad at presents" thing.. I think it's great that you are thinking of the message this sends your son. I have a few suggestions. A pretty mug & a small box of assorted teas or a few one pot sized bags of gourmet coffees. A pair a gloves in a nuetral color like black, white or tan, these colors don't clash with much,it's always nice to have an extra pair in the car. A nice wall calender with big spaces to write notes is a great thing for a busy Mom. None of these things are too personal, but I think most ladies would appreciate them, & they should be inexpensive.

I'll be headed to bed shortly, but I am discussing last night's fiasco with my brother.

If you are role modeling & want to give a gift...a card is still nice. If you want a packaged item, something impersonal for the house or that they could share...not sure how old your son is. A bottle of wine or a houseplant is nice. Is your son old enough for a board game? That could be a gift she/him could use together. Just a couple ideas.

If you don't see me much in the next couple days it's because the office is also the guest room and there are people in it this week... So,just in case I don't have another opportunity to sign into M2, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I actually found a computer game based on a TV show she likes, so I went with that. A little personal, but nothing overly affectionate.
