Q. So it's kind of difficult to know what to get my mom for Christmas because she is one of the people that says I don't have to get her anything and she is not the typical mom. She does not care for jewelry as a gift, or flowers, she does not really care for spa stuff or bath oils or anything like that. She has all the music she wants, millions of pictures of the family and crafts that have accumulated from me and my brother's school years hanging on the wall. So, she is a very family-oriented person at least. I want to get her something more personal than a gift certificate, though.
Thanks everyone! Great answers, I couldn't choose a best answer.

So she probably likes practical things she can use, and she has to eat. Buy or make her some foods she will like to eat and include a gift certificate for her favourite restaurant.
Or give her your own computer-generated coupons for things she will enjoy or chores she does all the time--perhaps a homemade meal made entirely by you (and your siblings?); a night out while you babysit your brother (if he is younger); maid service for a day (laundry and cleaning provided by you), etc...
If she has a lot of pictures that are all over the place, offer to organize them into albums, scrapbooks, collages, frames, or CD/DVDs; or buy her a digital frame, rotating/carousel frame, or photo album library (I'm not sure if that's what they are called).
Take damaged photos to a photoshop for restorations.
Have prized photos made into something like a totebag, pillow, throw, wallpaper, Christmas ornaments or 2011 calendar. Or visit one of the printing company websites (see below) and create your own photo gifts.

AMAZING Birthday gifts for mom?
Q. This year, my mom will be 48 and I want to get her the most AMAZING and thoughtful gift she's ever had! But I've been looking everywhere and all I see are the usual "give her a spa day, breakfast in bed, a necklace,etc" and I really don't want to so something like that that is somewhat boring to me and that I've done in the past. I've been thinking really hard for gifts but I'm stuck. Her birthday is on the 16th of February so it's coming soon! I'm willing to pay extra money for shipping as well. By the way my mom and I are literally best friends and have the best relationship ever. I want it something personal and meaningful!
Answer
You know what might be nice (being a mom around the same age) - put together a scrap book for her. Start maybe while she was pregnant with you (or you could even go back to her childhood if you have any pictures), and then continue as the years go by.
Add stickers, and other items to personalize it. Especially include special moments with you and your mom.
