Dad's gift - now need one for Mom. Any suggestions?

My Dad is actually my stepdad. He raised me from age 3 to 12 when he & my Mom divorced. He has always been there for me regardless of the divorce. (I stayed w/ mom)
This is the gift I got for him, but now I feel like the gift I get for my Mom (we are not that close) should be as sentimental. (I customized the poem on the frame to reflect our relationship.)
I don't want her to feel bad when she sees his gift. Help! Any suggestions?

This is poem on the frame:
Dear Dad,
Even though you were not there,
As I came upon this Earth,
Nor the one responsible
Or present at my Birth.
You Loved me, taught and guided me
through these years as I have Grown,
And you've never, ever made me feel,
Like I was not your Own.
Now as you walk me down the aisle
And Marry me to my Love,
I thank God he put you in my life,
a true Blessing from above.
And on this my Wedding Day,
I Thank you Dad, for choosing to Stay
And Love you more than Words can say.

Closing: Thank you for Always being there...
Signed: With all my Love,

You could get her one of those hankies and have a small poem embroidered onto it.

that's a really neat idea with the poem. Hm....I need to start really thinking about what I'm getting my parents too.
I know I'm goign to get my mother a handkerchief made from Irish linen, we already got my FMIL one from Ireland.

That was beautiful!!!

As for your mom, I understand the not be so close thing. I had seen this at fortunoff and always kept it in the back of my mind to most likely get her for the wedding. HTH.
