I need some suggestions on interesting/unique Mother's Day gifts for my wife. I wanted to get her something nice and sentimental. I've gone the standard photo-in-frame route for her b-day, v-day, etc., we're running out of wall space. Any ideas, links, etc. would be most appreciated.

Yeah, that's tough. I think I'm going to get mine a day-spa treatment. That's not very sentimental though.

Maybe you could make a cute crafting project with the kids - something she could take to work with her.

Look for Todd Parr's book, "The Mommy Book" in bookstores. It even comes with a card! Maybe get little squirt's handprint on the card (or on the dedication page!) and it can be from the him! She'll love it! I was given Parr's "The Daddy Book" with the same treatment. Cute.
Also picked up a hanging basket of flowers at the Farmer's Market for the porch. But she asked for that, so it only counts a little bit.

I got her a spa treatment for her b-day a few months ago and I just came home from a weekend trip and she put hanging baskets on the front porch. :???:

The book idea sounds like a start. Here is what I'm thinking so far but don't know how/where to do it. And although I know it sounds corny I think she'll like it. I'm thinking of getting her a really big sleeping shirt with our boy's picture silk screened on it or however they do it these days. I know it's sounds like something you would get at an amusement park but she loves big sleeping shirts (uses all of my Ts) and with his picture on it he'll always be sleeping with her, so to speak. I think I just heard a collective AWWWWE.

That sounds like a great idea!
