Thoughts for Mother's Day

[Rasler+]

Well, I was just thinking... um, since Mother's Day is coming pretty soon, do you guys have any good ideas for a gift?

I'm really having trouble thinking it over since I'm already busy with stuff at the university, and this year, I wanna give my mom a memorable gift; unlike the shopping sprees I gave her two years in a row lol

After all, she deserves it. I really appreciate all the hard work she did this year, and keeping me alive for sixteen years ^_^

So, any ideas?

mothers day has already been over here in the uk, and i got my mum this gift, its like a small mirror that stands up and writing on the glass are some lovely words, u get all types of them and the words say the sort of things thats in ur heart but u dnt say em out loud, in the uk they are called "reflections of life", they are lovely.

my mom would be happy with a free pack of smokes and a gift card for her favorite resteraunt hahahaha. i have found the more simplistic things to mean more to her then spending alot of money and getting her stuff she wont use or doesnt need. i say pick something that she has either been wanting for awhile or something that her and her hubby can use to get away for a little bit to relax.

sorry not to good at this one because mothers day presents seem to be mother specific and since i dont know yours its hard for me to come up with anything.

Nice scented candles.
I don't think there's many women that don't like scented candles.

If you're got the money then maybe a necklace or bracelet with you and your sibling's birthstones.
Or something like this: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=4888223

Or you can go the easy way with flowers and a card or something like that.

With my own mother I tend to take her out to dinner, and get her a fancy card. However, if you want to do something really nice I would go with the always acceptable Spa treatment. Nothing says "I love you" mud baths, massages, and facials. Another way to upgrade that is to let one of her close friends go with her on the trip. That way they can sit an chat like we girls tend to do.

F.Y.I. the only thing I am doing for mothers day is working, lol.

or you could be cheeky and say shes got something special for mothers day, you. lol
flowers are always nice, or take her for a slap up dinner.

I'm doing a dinner for my mom. My plan is searching the internet for a good, simple recipe, then following each and every step in the directions. My brother and I will also buy her a bouquet of roses. It's simple, but seems traditional. You can try out cooking at home since going out on Mothers' day always comes with a long wait. It's late, but you could still make reservations if you want to go out. A nice card, flowers, and dinner is a good way to go.

It's sometime before Easter in the UK, but I have my mum's birthday coming up. I have bought two of her all time favourite films, Beaches and Ghost on DVD, as my parents had to give up a lot of things when they moved. Unfortunately I can't get the time off work; I was going to go down to London as my birthday is like 4 days later.

I brought a nice little glass stand that has the words: "Mom, I love You" on it. It was all I could afford for her since money for me is kinda tight especially since I'm still on the job hunt. That's not all, I'm also planning to make a good dinner for her as well, my homemade Meatloaf (she loves it) and my cheesy Mac & Cheese (she really loves this), so I hope she likes it.

Wow, Mother's Day is coming up so fast. I'm glad there was a thread on this. I've just been caught up with so many things. Not to mention my mom's Birthday is coming up too. With that said, I'm thinking about getting her two different gifts of course. However, I would want to get her a more creative gift on Mother's Day then as opposed to on her Birthday. I'm not saying that I'm gonna get her a shitty gift but I feel like I should get her something a bit flashy on her B-Day. Don't know what to get her though. But I still have time. So hopefully it comes out a success.

What I did for my mom last year was for the morning, I got up before she did (which for me was like 5AM XP) and made her breakfast. She worked that day, but when I got home from school and she got home from work, I helped her with her garden that is in our backyard. My brother got her a gift certificate to a clothing store and my dad took her out to eat to wherever she wanted. Then we had a giant gift between the three of us, where we bought her a necklace (which my dad chipped in most of it but my bro and I helped). I suggest doing a special sentimental gift that will make her truly happy, then going half-and-half or whatever with another person in the family to get her something like I did. I'll probably do something along those lines again this year.

I was thinking about pairing up with my brother and getting a shitton of flowers for my mom, but turned out she didn't want flowers (as they tend to end up kind of ****ed up thanks to shipping anyway). Unfortunately I won't be there thanks to university, but I'll probably take her out to a nice restaurant. With my family, it's always kind of tough figuring out what to get each other.

It all depends on whether my mom will be lucky enough for me to remember Mother's Day. Honestly I forget about it most of the time, cause it's a retarded holiday.
If I remember she'll get perfume.

Peace out

I think I just came up with an idea:
How about I write a poem, edit it on photoshop, print it on some really nice paper, attach it to a bouquet of flowers, then give it to her on that day?
Or I can edit a photo of us together in photoshop (you, know, make it look all sentimental and touching xD), put it on some nice frame so it can be something she can keep for a long time ^_^

...or maybe I should just stick to another shopping spree.

Personal is nice. When I was still in HS (and thus, home) I used to make nice stationary for cards or paper folding... to go along with presents. People tend to really appreciate it, at least from my experience. Just make sure it looks good and not tacky though

Hmm. I don't know. I've never had the mother...bond...thing. Uh...I am one but, that doesn't really count. So can I get a house or something? Maybe an apron?

I don't know...I'm terrible with gifts, or remembering when to give them. Give something personal and lasting. Something sentimental, like a collection of pictures and nail clippings you've been saving. Or, a voodoo doll of her worst enemy.

Or if she's like a busy, do everything mom, do the laundry, cook her dinner, get her favorite movie and get her drunk. Relaxation is the best gift of all...
