Maybe observe and see if there’s anything she really takes a liking to or perhaps needs? Perhaps other family members or something could be asked instead, they might know?

literlally, randomly show her random things weather it be jewlry, something on shein, heck maybe even on amazon. She might go into what she likes.
or get her edible arrangments, no not the dr*g the fruit with chocolate, etc

Check her purchase history on amazon/walmart/target/other… :smirk:

Yea I did that once but I didn’t check the purchase history I looked at her search for things she bought let’s just say…wasn’t a good idea :sob:

I suggest being very observant. Like, for example my mother loves perfume, clothes, purses and shoes—because she owns literally 50 pairs of each. And that’s only the ones I know about. I just bought her one of those and she never suspected it. Maybe try being slick about it. Like mention that you’d really like to go to the mall or something (post quarantine) and then say something like, but I’m unsure what color I think I’d like. What she replies with is the color to go with. Or if you go to Amazon or something and choose a hideous sweater, mention how much you love it, if she hates it, go with what she suggests. Unless she loves it of course. Point is, make it seem as if you’re the one asking her for their opinion on something you want, not the other way around.

I honestly don’t know how helpful I’m being…

Ask them: Guess what i got youuu ksjsjs :sob:
Most probably they’ll answer with the things they want to have!

you can make a conversation between your family about what you like and just ask waht about you
