CassandraLee (1169.3 days ago) Anything to pamper the mother. A gift card to a salon, a nail shop, a nice clothing store, or a girly store like Bath and Body works. As a single mom, I find anything thats relaxing or pampering to be extra nice to receive.
MichelleMc(pink!) (1169.4 days ago) How about a nice photo album with acid-free pages? Almost everyone I know has lots of pictures of their kids and other family members laying around. Maybe a few supplies for scrapbooking with it? (Like scissors, double-sided tape, stencils, stickers)
Kevinsmilfx2 (1169.5 days ago) I always try to give brand name things to my adoptive families. I bet those single mom`s would love something from Bath and Body Works, Ulta 3, Mario Tricoci`s or another spa. Gas cards are great, but not everyone has a car, keep in mind. I LOVE the grocery idea!! And the basket of goodies for each room!
LKLmama (1169.5 days ago) I like all of Robins ideas and add something just for MOM, like a gift cert for a pedi or a gift basket with stuff to do her own at home.
RobinG (1169.5 days ago) My sister who has serious cancer right now was adopted. They are getting gift cards to places they like to shop and eat. gas cards, kitchen bath etc items they need as well. Basic necessity baskets for each room, a basket for bath essentials like towels toiletries for bath, kitchen/canned food items for kitchen, laundry supplies for laundry etc etc. I would also suggest a baby basket if there is a baby with items like soap powder wipes etc etc. :) Movie passes are great! if there are kids who are old enough that is something they love to do but cant always do it because it costs so much.
