So I know I posted before asking for prayers fot mom as she is dealing with cancer and immunotherapy treatments. She seems to be doing fairly well. There are some heart issues that have come up in any event struggling with what to get her from Mother's Day.
She doesn't have much of an appetite so food and treat things are not wonderful. She has barely any sense of taste.
She has very little energy to do her hobbies so nothing along those lines.
I got her mixed tiles for Christmas which she loves and she has a digital photo frame.
She has at least a half a dozen kindles.
I was going to get her nice sheets as she is always cold. I was thinking flannel, are LL Bean still the best sheets to buy for flannel?
Also was thinking of some nice Jim jams. She likes fleece pajama bottoms with a fleece pullover top. Any suggestions for those as well?

Company Store also carries flannel sheets. I have not ordered from them in a few years, but when I have the products and service have been excellent. Bonus is that all the flannel seems to be on sale now that summer is here. If you use Rakuten, they are offering 2% back as well.

Thank you, they had a beautiful set that matches her summer quilt on her bed so I ordered them. I saved 20% off the sale price too.  |

Still thinking of your mom and sending prayers for her and your family. |

You're such a good daughter. I love the Company store products - I think your mom will too.
My mom likes the Costco microfleece pajamas -- she has three or four pair. They are super soft and warm. I usually order them online for her.

I know that you have already ordered the sheets, but it you are looking for something flannel for another occasion…I would highly recommend one of Vermont Flannel’s stadium blankets. I think that is what they call them. They are a bit pricey but I love mine and have given them to many people, who also seem to love them. They are so soft and warm. One of my favorite throw type blankets. I am so sorry for all that your mother is going through. Vermont FlannelETA - I think I fixed the link |

I can't recommend LLBean's sheets. They used to be wonderful, but in the last few years (5) the quality has gone downhill. We just had two of our fitted LLBean sheets rip after only a couple of years.
When we were on vacation in St. John in December I noticed how wonderful the sheets felt on the bed in our airbnb apartment. I looked at the label and they were from Sam's Club. When we got home we went to our local Sam's Club and bought 2 sets. I've been very happy with them.
Another site to consider is cuddledown.com for sheets and duvet covers. I needed a new down comforter this winter and bought one from this site along with a duvet cover. They also offer sheets. I'm very happy with my order.

Can you be more specific and give the details. I'm always on the lookout for good sheets and Sam's Club have more than one type. TIA! |

This is the set we ended up buying: Member's Mark 700 thread count striped Egyptian Cotton sheet set. The airbnb owner also had this set in our apartment: Hotel Luxury Reserve 1000 thread count Egyptian Cotton that I preferred, but they didn't have this set in stock at the store. We've only been using these sheets for a couple of months so I can't say how long they will last, but so far so good. They are much thicker than our old LLBean sheets. |

Don’t know if you can get them time of year but I love my electric throw blanket. There are days my feet are just frozen snd they help a lot. Mine came from Sam’s but I have bought them at Costco to. They are big enough to sleep with if you want to. They are thicker than standard electric blankets.

My aunt got her one for Christmas, she pretty much has it on her whenever and wherever she is sitting, she loves it. Thank you for the suggestion though, anyone looking for something similar I second the idea of an electric throw! As does nephew dog, he loves to sit on my mom’s lap when she has it on. |
