Mother's Day Gift Suggestions

[Marxist]

What are getting Mom?

How much are you spending?

Are you a good son or daughter?

Do they deserve you?


Please, no smartass replies, if you were spawned at the hatchery, just skip it and go flirt.

I made my mom a collection of Motown favorites of hers. I made a book to go with it..went down to Hitsville USA, took pics, bought some and I'm just about finished with it. Burned the cd's this weekend and they sound perfect. I can't wait to see her face.

I'm taking in my sisters for a weekend and sending my Mom to a spa. It's going to cost me about 200$.


I think I'm a good son, my Mom might not but, well, tough butternuts to her.

I bought mom a day at the spa in Traverse City, plus all us kids pitched in to give her $500 to spend on herself at the mall. I did remember to order flowers as well.
Am I a good daughter? I hope so, but I doubt she'll agree. I'm too much like her.

What are getting Mom?

An afternoon with all of her siblings, her children, and her grandchildren. All of them. I'm taking everyone to an event in town.

How much are you spending?

Most of the cost of the tickets is free to me, but the food and beverages will be $300 to $400

Are you a good son or daughter?

Yes, but not because I do things for my parents on holidays. I'm a good daughter because I do things for and with them all year long, including spending time with them every week.

Do they deserve you?

Yes.

Ah, this is going to sound shitty....

I didn't even realize we were nearing Mother's Day.

Assorted moms get a card.

I'm embarrassed to say, but it's really impressive in pesos.

My mom doesn't deserve me and I'm sorry that my mother-in-law is saddled with me.

The StudMuffin wants to buy me the Centennial Savage Model 90. *sniffle* He's such a sweetheart. Gawd, I love this guy. I'll probably get a brick of .45 and a torrid day at the range.

I'm her best kid. I will probably get her a piece of jewelry and some flowers. Doesn't matter what it vosts, she my mom.

Mother's Day. Wow. I spend quite a bit of time with my family on a day to day basis. My Mother doesn't "expect" things from me, but I'm going to get her an orchid. She loves them. Spends hours nurturing them, tending to them and draws all of us kids' attention to them when they bloom.

In addition to that, I plan to spend time with her one on one, which she doesn't get very often seeing as how she has 4 kids and 8 granchildren. I want to take her to a movie and out to dinner and get her drunk on two vodka orange juices at lunchtime.

My Mom is priceless.

I'm giving Mom my presence, which means a trip from Alaska to Iowa. I know, that's not much, but I'm taking my daughter with me and you know how happy that makes Moms that are also Grandmas - especially when I disappear for a couple of Cubs games.

I'm as good a son as one can be long distance for 25 years.

Mom deserves better, but what mom doesn't?

for mother's day I am just going to get her a card and some flowers. she'll be mad if i spend too much. she'll say "for this amount of money, you could have bought your kids......." but she's a great mom and i dont deserve her.

i talk to her and with her about 2-10 times a day, and only live about 2 miles from her, i'd say I'm a good daughter, and she deserves all her gray hairs, lol... just kidding, she dyes her hair....

for me she'll take pics of my kids and make me a little present from "them".

 

[seXieleXie]

i'm getting her a card and a book. it's hard to give good gifts from 3000 miles away.

 

[angie girl]

I am not trying to hijack the thread, cause everyone has such sincere ideas...but my girlfriend and I both never knew our mothers for whatever reasons...a friend of her fathers sorta raised her and I am a foster brat...

what can you do on mother's day when you never had a mom? I've always laughed it off but it is kind of an itch I can't scratch...

 

[Sillyman]

I won't be getting her anything this year. I can't afford anything. I know I'm the favorite of the four of us. I'm just not as prone to crisis as the rest of the sibs. She might get a card from the little sibs and my sister might go see her, and she'll probably go on a crying jag when she doesn't get anything else or taken out to dinner. Poor dear. She cries through more holidays.

 

[christophe]

yes mom and wife are worth it
was thinking of a parafin wax hand kit........soak them aching bones in hot melted wax....everyone i have taked to says they will love it

 

[Liontamr]

Just a phone call and an e-mail card for my mom.. A few years ago she told me to no longer worry about sending chocolates or small little trinckets that may end up getting lost.

The relationship I have with my mom now is more like a "best pals" type than it is mother / son .. She does still worry about me quite a bit, but she is - and always has been someone I can talk to ANYTHING about.

I don't know if she deserved me.. but I know I didn't deserve her.. She was too much of a cool mom to be wasted on a kid like me I count my blessings though that she is though and has brought me up to be (at least I think) a great guy in life overall.

Hmmmmmm

Since my grandparents live far away and can't move around much, I hope to bring everyone together for Mother's Day. A gift that's priceless . . .

Awwwwwww

Angie Girl,

My mother died within 2 months of my birth (due to complications from her pregnancy). I can understand that feeling of "what do I do on this holiday".

I try to take someone out from my church who is alone. I had an elderly friend who was orphaned as an infant. She never had children and was a widow. I used to treat her really good on mother's day. I'd take her to Luby's (best chairs for those folks with hip replacements) and then down to the beach to whoop and holler at the guys. It was always wonderful.

She died 2 years ago though and I don't have anyone now to "adopt". I guess I will be on the look out for a lonely patient who needs some love and surprize her with flowers and dinner out or something.

Perhaps you and your friend can find someone alone to share with.

Sillyman,

You can always write a letter about something special that you remember or love about your mother. That would be better than any "thing" that can be given. Poetry is always appreciated too. Moms tend to love even the lousiest poetry, if it is written just for them!

i'm pathetic..i'm probably the worst daughter on the whole board..

i have to plan for the kids in my class to make mother's day gifts for their moms...and i just usually make the same thing..and give that to my mom...she always loves it though..last year we made bath salts and shaped candles...it was pretty sweet

 

[SXCRgirl]

My mom is a porcelain figurine collector. I found her this intricate two dove figurine that I know she'll love. Plus, I'm going to take her to lunch at her favorite Chinese restaurant and then to a movie. She's a movie buff just like me.

I'm a good daughter but with a rebellious streak.

I don't deserve her... that's for sure. I just thankful that I got lucky.
