What to get a single mom (25-30) for her birthday? Offspring's age is equivalent to the Rockets NBA championship wins.

So a friend of mine is having a birthday coming up soon. As you can tell from the title, that's her situation. She has a "baby daddy" that actually pays child support, but she still kind of seems overwhelmed. She has her kid in a daycare and she gets by on govt or state help; so physical chores and deeds are out of the question. Any ideas? I know gift cards are popular and flowers are lame, but I want to set myself higher on the bar ( I am looking for a non-sexual favor down the road)

any useful ideas?

Take both of them some place special that she cannot afford! Dinner and a kiddy movie, Galveston, The Zoo, Museum of Natural Science and Niko Niko"s, etc.

Help her find a job and get off the government tit.
I see help wanted signs up all over the place.

Pay for her to have a "boardman experience." She will thanck you.

This. She sounds stressed and this may be the ticket!

A babysitter so she can get a good night's sleep, then perhaps a massage and/or a mani/pedi.

While her child is in day care, you could take her to the Nutcracker Market and help her out with some Christmas shopping, and then out for a nice lunch.
