That's the problem: She already gets herself whatever she wants year round. So we're left trying to find something novel/handmade/etc.

Gift cards for all!!

My kids only want money. My mom and SO is the worst. That have everything and if they don’t, they don’t want it.

Pictures of the both of you or yall family.

Either canvas or framed or even a coffee mug. Something she wouldn't necessarily buy herself but that she'll adore

That's a good fall-back option. I'll be honest, though. I don't really want to go through the trouble of doing that. She's not a sentimental person, so I'd rather just find something to buy her.

Print a nice letter from a charity that drills water wells in Africa saying that they appreciate the donation in her name and 3 villages will have water because of her generosity. There’s no way she can verify whether it’s true. You haven’t spent any money and who knows, it might make her feel good.

Guess about $100. We don't tend to go all out for Christmas in my family; however, her gift will be judged and deemed worthy or not.

Well then print up a fake letter saying that a star was named after her but here’s the kicker: misspell her name in the letter! Again, no money spent but you’ll have a great story to tell at her funeral.

You can give her my dick for free. She’s usually gives me a couple hundred.
