    My Mom is celebrating her birthday soon. She is already in her 60s and I've run out of ideas on what I should give her for her birthday. She is in the US most of the time so I want to give her something that she could bring there. I am thinking of giving her a wallet(again) or jewelry but my budget is only 10k. I remember she mentioned that she wanted a particular bag but it's not within my budget.

    What do you usually give your Mom on her birthday or what does your wife get your Mom for her birthday?

    a charcoal painting of her in the middle of a portrait surrounded by smaller charcoal paintings around her, of those who are close to her. Then have it framed with a writable border, where you can pen your dedications to her.

    Good idea! Where could I have this done? My Mom mentioned that we have a small family picture na gusto niya pa charcoal.

    i recall, dun kami nagpagawa sa galleria... pero the last time i went around, almost all malls meron magagaling... pili ka lang ng gusto mong rendition based on their sample paintings.

    if she does a lot of traveling she ought to wear shades, or start wearing one, to avoid cataracts...

    Wow. Watch 8K pesos. Ring. 15K pesos. Dinner 4K. The look on mom's face when you tell her you're pregnant and the man with you will be her son-in-law..........PRICELESS.

    She's been wanting that for years already. That's one thing I can't give her yet. hehe.

    I started working this year and I was thinking of giving her something that she would really appreciate. I still couldn't convince myself to buy her a nice bag.
