My father passed away a couple months ago and I want to get my mom something special. She loves to garden and my dad and her use to share that bond. Is there any new great gardening tools or things out there that you recommend?

How about a nice big basket, the size she could take into the garden to put her gear and any produce in, and fill it with new hand tools, seeds, gardening gloves, and maybe a gift certificate to her favorite garden store--if a nearby garden center doesn't offer them, Lowe's has great plants and a lot of gardening supplies.

i want to get all the grandkids to paint a tile and then frame them all together or paint rocks for her garden
how will i know what supplies i need?
and what kind of paint etc?

Boy I'll tell you some of the best gifts I ever got were the hand print stepping stones. They reminded me of how cute the kids and now the grand kids were and are. We used ours to make a path to the lilac I got for my 1st mother's day. Here are some links. Good luck!

My grandfather (who adopted me at birth and I call him "father") is turning 75 years old shortly after Father's Day, and he is very active physically. He singlehandedly grows a 2 acre vegetable and herb garden, grows peach trees, loves to BBQ, hunt, fish, and he's very intellectual. He loves military history, and discuss you tired with current events. He also loves a good drink and very kind and loving to cats and dogs. With that being said, what are some great Father's Day gifts that caters to his interests? Thank you in advance.

Trying to find a neat and different idea for Mom this year. She is retired, has everything she ever wanted, and no real hobbies except gardening, and I live several states away, so plants or trees are kinda out of the question.

Having never received one as you can readily tell, I can only share stuff I thought my mom liked.

Stuff I got for her that I thought she would like often ended up stored away for posterity somewhere. The stuff that I saw she put in places she could see anytime were things where I put some "heart" into it.

Some examples are: souveniers I got for her while on trips abroad where she could see I was thinking about her even while I was busy with many other things. A small trophy for "world's best mom." A framed poem about how much I appreciated the things she taught me, and another one about the hard times in her life when she sacrificed so I could have, and another about "now I understand what she was trying to explain." And other things that let her know how much I appreciated and loved and thought about her a lot.

Maybe consider sending her your answer to the "hereafter" question with things about her too? Anyway, just my opinions.
