In a way your mom may have done you a favour, getting the 55mm close up lenses means if you do get another lens for your camera, they have a better chance of them fitting directly, provided of course it has 52 or 55mm threads.
The depth of focus for close up images is always very shallow, no matter what the method. The greater the magnification the shorter the distance which contains an acceptably sharp image becomes.
The only way to get closer without loosing depth of focus is to crop the image and enlarge the displayed image but that still has severe limitations.
