I want it to be special!!

She doesn't go for perfumes, body lotions, and the like.

She has 6 children and one married couple.

I would love to buy something for her dining room table since we eat by her many times during shabbasim and chagim and her table is always beautifully set.

She basically has everything that enhances the table therefore I am out of ideas.

It doesn't have to be for the table. Any other ideas as well would be very appreciated.

I don't want to get her something personal to wear because she has her specific taste and therefore that would be too stressful for me to shop.

No gift certificate idea please.
She / (her husband) is not the type to go out for dinner dates. Nor does she care for spas / facials.

I'm at loss here. Please help me out.

I would spend between $100- $200 for this occasion. She does allot for me.... TIA

Great idea.
How about compartment dip dishes?
A fresh salt and pepper holder (sometimes you can use 2 anyway, 2 different ends of table)
Napkin holder (again you can use more than 1)

Scentify or Zent home aroma system

What about a mini-vacation and an offer to watch the kids while she and her husband go off for the weekend?

Would she like a piece of jewelry? A purse?
Do you have a piece of jewelry that she would otherwise inherit one day that would be special for you to see her wear and enjoy.

I am in my mid 40’s and my parents always say that Im going to get whatever eventually anyway, they would rather see me enjoy it.

My mother gave me a necklace of hers, I love that I "yarshined" something from her in her lifetime! And she gets so happy to see me wear it.

Thank you very much to all who responded. Each and every one of you have given me great ideas.

I will definitely look into either a set of dip dishes, a tablecloth, centerpiece, and some of the other options mentioned on this thread.

Thank you so so much to all. Very Happy

We don't sleep by her but I like the idea of the monogrammed finger tip towels.
The rolling cart idea may come real handy as well.

Adding 'em to the list of ideas on this thread...
