Five Star Gift Ideas

It sounds like your mom has unique and vibrant tastes that can be easily reflected in a personalized gift. Here are some thoughtful ideas that incorporate her interests:

1. **Customized Art Piece**: Commission a local artist or find one on platforms like Etsy to create a custom art piece that blends her love for chihuahuas, sugar skulls, and sunflowers. You could ask for an illustration of a chihuahua surrounded by sunflowers and sugar skull motifs. This can become a lovely decorative piece for her living room or office space.

2. **Themed Blanket or Quilt**: Consider gifting her a cozy blanket or quilt where each square or section represents one of her interests—chihuahuas, sugar skulls, sunflowers, and maybe even crime-inspired designs. This gift would be both sentimental and practical, perfect for snuggling up while watching her favorite murder shows.

3. **Customized Puzzle**: Create a custom puzzle featuring an image that combines her interests. It could be a picture of her beloved pet, creatively framed with sugar skulls and sunflowers. This activity will engage her and result in a lovely piece she can display.

4. **Murder Mystery Subscription Box**: Since she enjoys murder shows, consider a murder mystery game subscription box. These kits provide a thrilling whodunit experience she can solve at home, keeping her entertained and tapping into her love for mystery-solving.

5. **Personalized Jewelry**: Look for jewelry that features sunflowers or is inspired by the colorful, intricate designs of sugar skulls. A sunflower pendant or sugar skull charm bracelet might become one of her favorite accessories.

6. **Decorative Items**: Find or create decorative items that combine her loves. For example, a throw pillow that features a chihuahua with a sugar skull design pattern, or a kitchen apron adorned with sunflowers and her favorite breed could be both unique and practical.

7. **Book Subscription or Gift Card**: If she’s an avid reader, especially of crime and mystery novels, gift her a subscription to a book service or a gift card to her favorite local bookstore. This allows her to choose titles that intrigue her and expand her collection.

Each of these suggestions is designed to combine elements of her favorite things, which will undoubtedly make her feel cherished and appreciated on her birthday. Make sure to add a personalized note explaining the thought behind the gift to make it even more special.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
