I'm lookin for gift ideas for the mother of all mothers..my mother ....What do you hope to get on mothers day

I am not asking for much..........just maybe a chef, a maid & a chauffer.


That is not to complicated of a list, is it???

Aint that why parents have kids? When they old enough you can have one ofg yer kids drive ya too a fancy resturant while the other kids clean the house:p

Not sure how old you are, but the best present I have received from my youngest son is a card he made.

oh yea, what a great idea Melly............except when you color with the markers this time................they stay on the paper, and NOT on the wall!!!!!

MInnnn what a little pest today LOL....

Luv ya...

I will think about your question Draga,,,tonight i am burned up, finish,,,,

Never thought i would say that.,,, but my day was filled with lots of ....stuff lol...

oh okay........if I have to be serious, I shall(but it will only last a very brief time)

Melly, how about cooking for your mom her favorite breakfest & supper. Then, is there a place that the both of you enjoy going to together, that is not overly costly??

Rent movie, make popcorn, play cards or games, etc are some ideas for the evening.



still think you should color a card for her!!!

as long as u remember the markers are not substitue for eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush :eyebrow:

:D I could do the po' dawta version and clean her room :D....but still wanna splurg on her hehe...it's not often I get to do that...makes ME feel good to do that.

Does she go for the manicure, pedicure or massage kind of thing???

Hmmm that's My Sis department...she's got a mothers day beauty thing where they give her make over and this and that.....I HAVE to top that LOL

okay, let me think of something REALLY good then.......................



think think think think think think think

Stand Up when you do....might give your brain some room to think ...wuv u :D

oh yea, what a great idea Melly............except when you color with the markers this time................they stay on the paper, and NOT on thewall!!!!!

Okay I am not a mother but have lots of ideas. Minn when that happens and the marker gets on the wall frame that spot. It is part of your child's creativity. Make the child feel special. :p :D

Mel, as kids we made mom something special, like her cards. My sister crossed stitches a poem about her feeling towards mom.

What about that poem you wrote about your mom. That is special. Do something with that in your own creative way. Whether it is a card or writing it out in callligraphy and framing it. How special is that.


My mom always tells me all she wants is for me to respect her. She doesnt want any thing from us just our love and respect. I think all mother want that . Do something special that you normally hate to do. I did the dishes with her one time I think easter. Hope this helps.

:D I could do the po' dawta version and clean her room :D....but still wanna splurg on her hehe...it's not often I get to do that...makes ME feel good to do that.

Melly it is not what you do hun, it the fact you remember her. Even something simple as baking a special cake to show her you care and love her. It isnt a competion hun dont go there like I did with my sister.

Be you cause that is why your mom loves you . She loves ya both . You are spcecial because you are YOU.

Hi Draga!!

I like to give my mother things for the garden. Once I gave her a basket with garden gloves, a new trowel and hand tools, some shears, a garden book, and a small plant all tucked inside a pretty basket with a bow. Other things I have done are birdhouses, hummingbird feeders, and garden trolls.

Another thing that I do for my dad every year is go to the farmer's produce market and fill a big produce basket with fresh vegetables. I get a mix of things with lots of color. Tie it with a big bow. Pretty cool.

My family ate at the cracker barrel this evening. I don't know if you have been there, but they have a great gift shop and so many different nostalgic DVD's- Beverly Hillbillies and I love Lucy, etc. I thought that would be a hoot!

Later,
Annie :)

Draga I usually give gift themes around a movie.
The last one I gave her was the movie Chocolat with five wrapped boxes
of different chocolates. Stacked on each other.
LOL It was called the tower of chocolate.

Tower of Choclate.....Hell I want that for Mothers Day! :D

Now the good ole classics...I know Mom would love that :D

I like that Idea Anne, my mom love to garden. Good thinking girl

Run with the theme...make a card on the puter featuring some classic items she might appreciate...the Mustang (or go older), etc and on the front "You're A Classic, Mom" (iow, she's special, treasured, has increased in value as she and you have gotten older) and put it with her most beloved shows.

One year I made my Mom a memory book. Pictures of us, her Mom, etc, and made lists and blurbs of my favorite memories, what I like best about her, what I've learned from her, what we have in common, the way I like to spend our time, the way she makes me feel special...it was an affordable present to treasure, and it wasn't very fancy. A pretty, blank notebook will work.

Now I have to think of something for my kids to make for their grandmothers who are long distance.

:eek: Bless you Chel! I remember I scanned a bunch of her baby pics and wedding photos...I remembered a long time ago I wanted to make her a time line calander.

She told me she wanted a wig for mothers day...(she hates her hair) I dunno..."Cover that bald spot, Ms. Clean." does not seem to be as centimental Ya know? :eyebrow: :faint: :foot:

My sister and I got together this year for Mother's day and I scanned photos of all the kids and their kids and her beloved pets through out the years and a great picture of her. Printed them out on iron on paper and we made quilting blocks with the pictures and in the middle is the poem I wrote about our family. She's gonna cry like a big ole baby-isn't it fun?!

From Garrett I want lots of cuddles and kisses. From Koda and Lexi I want clean bedrooms, chores and homework done without a fight and from Doug I want some "us" time.

:) scanning ole photos seams to be the favorite ....it does seem alot sweeter and heaper <LOL!

The entire quilt cost us about $100 and that was because we cheated on the really hard part and paid a neighbor $50 to sew the pieces together. lmbo

from my all in one I got this thing where I can make a calander...I would just need to get the right paper for it ....fun fun fun

[QUOTE=Draga]:) scanning ole photos seams to be the favorite ....it does seem alot sweeter and heaper

photoshop in a nicer hairdo for mom. that should cover the next 20 mother days for you. <LOL![ p QUOTE]<>

Awe that is sweet! Mom got a nice mothers day gifts(plural) from me.

1st was the timeline calander
2nd ....I always do something around the house when she is not home that she is never suspecting....this year...her carpet in the room is worn out...over 20 yrs worth of cats and dogs and spilled drinks..she's been wanting to take it up before we move. Well....yesturday..I got right on it....and did the easier half and we decided on her day off....we'll finish the rest together.

Her wig is still on the way LOL!


The huge surprised smile on her face after a long days work was a present to me :)

Oh yeah....my mom has a huge room mind you....the easy part took 3 hours to do completely....and holy **** i am feeling it today! But a few days pain on her behalf is nothing compaired to her carrying my big butt around for 9 months! LOL!
