My wife has indicated, that she wishes to purchase a gift for her mother's birthday. Sadly, she hasn't a lucid or logical view on matters in hand, so I have suggested one of the following books for her to choose from.1 - Around the world in 900 days.2 - How to remove facial hair.3 - Dummies guide to parachuting.4 - Improve your dress sense in 24 hours.5 - How to drive safely.6 - Forget specsavers, try these.7 - Get slim, stay slim.8 - Family values.Any Ideas?

How about buying her a home on the opposite side of the planet, then block her phone calls?

Don't get your mom a book.. how lame! And your choice of books..I hope your joking..If you seriously want some help with getting a gift for your mom, get something sentimental. Mom's always appreciate that..

I just bought my mother something that she adored! Women love beautiful jewelry right? but most jewelry is too expensive....there is a way. find a "Avon" brochure and go strait to the jewelry department. gorgeous diamonds , sterling silver, gold and amazingly cheap. i bought my mother a sterling silver ring with a green stone for 20 dollars. she loved it.

Sir,This question coming from you is very confusing. Why would you even think of letting your wife spend money on her mother?

My dear Sir Blackadder, I understand your reluctance to spend money on a gift for your mother-in-law. After all, she's not YOUR mother & she is responsible for producing that woman you inadvertently married. However, have you ever considered a gift that might, so to say, kill two birds with one stone? Instead of buying the old bat a book about going around the world, why not book her on a round the world cruise accompanied by her darling daughter? That way they will both be out of your hair - and your mansion - for weeks and weeks. Don't you think it might be worth the cost just to get the peace & quiet - not to mention the freedom - this would bring you? Some gifts just keep on giving....
