I think that is a great idea. My parents are in their 50s but pretty intelligent and I always tell them about big and latest BTC news when I see them. This would be an awesome present idea but I just don't have very much BTC or fiat right now...
For the people saying give her Bitcoin And a gift, how about one of the physical cryptos? Search in the goods section of the marketplace here. One off the top of my head is "Cryptolator."
Topic: Will you be Giving Your Mom some BTC for Mothers Day? (Read 1509 times)
I cannot give this to my mother because she is very old now and don't no about computer so giving him btc is not give but from here I have some good idea and now giving her some flowers it good 
I don't think the BTC's will fit in her small handbag, too big. 
Sorry Mom, would you settle for little Doge's?

Yes, I will be! 10 BTC per HER request. :-) LOL
To give BTC we would need some place they can spent it.
Any ideas for some cool feminine shop ?

My mother loves to tell me that I don't know what I am doing with my money, but then later saying she should have listened. So I guess I should get her some, but she still would prefer a nice perfume or something like that.
Thought about it. But then decided against it. My mom is not that tech savvy. Even if someone gives her Bitcoin, she won't be able to keep them safe and secure. So I bought her another gift instead.
Funnily enough, I did
Now will have to teach her how to secure and operate her wallet

If I give her a paper wallet, she would just loose it. She does not care how much it is worth. She only cares whether she can pay for groceries with it. The obvious answer is not yet.
If you wait until BTC is less risky and easier to use, then it might be a lot more expensive.

I was thinking about that too. But I wonder if ordering some books from amazon or something. But Bitcoin are still rising. Giving Bitcoins makes more sense.
Some parents need money more than gifts.
Seniors have a rising cost of living and usually limited income.
Good idea, thanks for the suggestion.

when my mom asks me about a good computer deal, she asks me "how many gigs is it?" .. so yeah, i won't even bother trying to explain it to her.
Hahah, I can't even get my mom to update her phone . Bitcoin just isn't user friendly enough yet.
i agree, your mother would be happy with both.
If this is an insult, I don't understand where it's coming from. I'm just suggesting that you can give your mother some BTC along with the usual Mother's Day gift. 
giving parents money for mothers/fathers day is missing the point
its meant to be an act of love to show them they mean alot to you.
money = "cant be arsed to buy you something, so you do the work, heres some money now you find something to buy"
keep money gifts for other occassions
How about giving her both money and a gift? I don't see any problem with that.its meant to be an act of love to show them they mean alot to you.

The idea isn't for everyone.
My mom is also too old for the Internet, but some of "us" have mothers in their early 40's.

The network doesn't stretch quite far enough to reach her yet.
She's dead.
