I always give potted flowers. I get a plain pot, let the girls decorate it, and then pick out and plant some sort of flower. Usually an impatien or vinca. Except my grandma, she always gets a tomato plant. My aunt actually managed to keep her first impatien alive, but usually the pots get cleaned out and become catch alls for different rooms in the house.
My mom is an accountant so I got her a beautiful leather work bag. It has multiple pockets (one section is like a purse, it has a cell phone pocket, space for pens, etc.) and a separate section for carrying a laptop. I really like it and I hope she does too.
I'm framing a scrapbook page of the grandkids (mine and my brothers...) and then (in theory) I will send her a new page a few times throughout the year so she can always have new photos "on display" in her house. It turned out really cute.
I ordered my mother a mug and calendar that I put together off of kodakgallery.com. I have a relatively new baby so this is a first time gift for her. You have probably done this already..
