Ok, so my mom has been bed ridden for about 12 years and I need some birthday present ideas.
So give me some ideas NS!!!
P.S. Pretty much all she can do is sit in bed and watch TV so I'm not sure of what I can get her that would be worthwhile.
Thanks guys!!!

no idea what she exactly has but if she's still able to use her hands, an ipad is one hell of a gift, my friend got one for his dad and he's now addicted to it !
otherwise maybe an e-reader or other tablet pc, depending on your budget ....

Resisting the urge to make a joke, but yeah an ipads probably a pretty solid idea, get a 2m charger aswell, they're handy.

She has Multiple Sclerosis, so she can't really use her hands very well. Her legs are bent at a 90 degree angle. A masseuse might be a good idea though.

and now for me, you will always have zero karma. That's probably one of the worst things you could have said.

Along with that, breakfast in bed, a nice hand written card, and a masseuse for a day would be excellent gifts.

Vibes to your mom bro, happy birthday to her.

That's really too bad. Some sort of tablet might still be a good idea though. Just because she can't use her hands very well doesnt mean you or another family member can't. So it might be a good way to spend some quality time with mom! No idea how old you are and if you live at home or if you still live in the same town though, that might complicate things. But then again if you lived out of town, built in camera on a tablet, how awesome would that be.

You don't have to spend insane $$$ on anything though, something nice and simple might do the trick like a nice card or something homemade!

Good luck and happy b-day to your mom!

Not to be a dick, but you should get her a wonka bar.

But really, you should make her something cause I bet she'd really appreciate it ten times more than if you bought her something.

Sentimental jewelry, maybe a Pandora bracelet with a bead that can have a story along with it, one that resembles something

If she's technologically impaired like my mom is then you could also hang out with her, and teach her how to use it. That may mean more to her than the tablet itself.

Completely agree, also make her a really nice thoughtful card and you're set.

I know how it feels man, my Mom has been paralysed neck down since I was 6 after her binding pre-released. 2 years ago my family gathered up all our photos from after the accident, and put together a bunch of collages and pictures of various family members. We felt that the worst part of being bedridden was not being able to see the family often, so we decided some recent pictures can go a long way. The entire wall of the room she faces is covered in photos now.

An Ipad is good also. It opens up a ton of things to do. It also allows easy access to books. Even if she has limited hand use, they have stylus's that you can use with your mouth.

Best advice IMO is just go with what you think she will like best.

Holy shit, dude. You must be a truly miserable person to be able to say something like that. And to OP, I don't have any ideas for an actuall gift. But whatever you get, gotta add a card or something you made yourself like others suggested. That effort will mean so much. + vibes bruh, and Happy B-day to Mom!!!
