- Kitchen appliances: I wouldn't say no to a fancy appliance. A panini maker? An espresso machine? Any cool gadget from Williams Sonoma?
- Lotion: I agree with this. I have a lot of lotion in the cupboard, I don't need any more.
- Granny nighties: But I don't want any sexy stuff either. It's just not me.
- House cleaning gear, i.e. a vacuum: I bought my Darling Dyson myself. I would have accepted it as a gift!
- The Man Cold: I agree with this.
I'm serious. I totally wanted a new toilet for the hall bath. The original toilet was
- 45 years old
- a water hog
- wouldn't always shut off
- impossible to clean, after years of hard water and scrubbing with a pumice stone
If I were to ask for something more "special" it would be dinner out, flowers, chocolate, a massage, etc. But the best Mother's Day gifts have always been the cute things my sons made in school:
This faded beauty has sat above the computer for 8 years!

I'm with you, sometimes the best presents are practical and it's okay with me.
Amen! I really want a Cuisinart food processor. And I got my Dyson last year too. :)
I'm with you--useful can be good. Especially when it makes your life easier.
I got a room air conditioner for our bedroom--it doesn't really get hot enough in San Diego to justify spending several thousand dollars to replace the whole house one we had when our house was less than 1/2 its present size. But, upstairs, a few nights out of the year . . . It will be perfect.
OH, I am so with you on this - the house we moved into last year has a PEACH bathroom, complete with peach floral tiles...it even had peach carpet with pee,pee stains - my idea of bliss would be a white bathroom.....
I got a gift certificate for a massage and a hanging basket of flowers.
I can understand your want's though!!
One year for our anniversary I got a new sump pump so the water from the basement would drain up into the kitchen sink. I was in heaven!!
Oops! That should have read **wouldn't drian**
