What should I get Mom for mothers day?

Gift cards are out of the question. I'm trying to think of a good, generic, last second thing to get her this weekend. Thing along the lines of flowers, a candle, or a picture frame (but not any of those three because they've already been done). Just something sweet to show that I remembered her on Mothers day - since I have no clue about any specific presents that she would like.



15-30 dollar range.

What should I get Mom for mothers day?
a potted plant and some nice cookies
Reply:Sneak over to her house early and make her favorite breakfast.

Buy all the things to make her favorite dinner and bring them to her house, telling her to kick back and relax.

Take her to see a movie, just you and her, for some mom time.

Take a old photograph of you both together, scan it, print it out in black and white and write a poem/memory of her on the back that really means something to both of you.

Take her to a day spa, if you go to one were they are teaching the girls, its 100% cheaper (like ten dollars for a facial)



Good luck!
Reply:You need something classy, bring pink jasmins or pink roses (only pink never red!) then bring white roses (must be all one type) and rap them with a pink ribon or white (pink is better) add fake pearls for decoration, and give her chocolates (small pieces in a huge bar!), a mother never says no to chocolates ;), any additions are ok, but dont make it extra fancy, that way it'll be less special. Hope your mother likes what you get her!
Reply:I think that making her something would be nice, maybe like a picture frame, but one that has more than one picture in it, something that has pictures of you two together, this will show her that you remembered her. Or maybe get her a gift card for for favorite shop, makeup etc.
Reply:Firts of all dont be hypocrate with ur self if you dont visit ur mom in all year or you spend just a few time with her its better to not give her anything D: you should give her a big big hug and kiss and promise her that 1 time a month or idk both of you will go out and have some time as mother and son
Reply:at wal-mart they got lockets for like $25.

maybe put a photo album together of the 2 of you.

or a scrapbook of her favorite things (if ur the creative type).

Reply:I don't buy gifts for occasions, but send her this:

If you send this to just one person, it should make

it all the way around the world by Mother's Day.









This is for the mothers who have sat up

all night with sick toddlers in their arms,

wiping up barf laced with Oscar Mayer

wieners and cherry Kool-Aid saying,

'It's okay honey, Mommy's here.



'





Who have sat in rocking chairs for hours on end

soothing crying babies who can't be comforted.









This is for all the mothers who show up at

work with spit-up in their hair and milk stains

on their blouses and diapers in their purses.









For all the mothers who run carpools and

make cookies and sew Halloween costumes.





And all the mothers who DON'T.









This is for the mothers who gave birth to

babies they'll never see.



And the mothers

who took those babies and gave them homes.









This is for the mothers whose priceless art

collections are hanging on their refrigerator doors.









And for all the mothers who froze their buns

on metal leachers at football or soccer games

instead of watching from the warmth of their cars.









And that when their kids asked, 'Did you see me, Mom?'

they would say, 'Of course, I wouldn't

have missed it for the world,' and mean it.









This is for all the mothers who yell at their kids

in the grocery store and swat them in despair

when they stomp their feet and scream for ice cream before dinner.







And for all the mothers who count to ten instead,

but realize how child abuse happens.









This is for all the mothers who sat down with

their children and explained all about making

babies.



And for all the (grand)mothers who

wanted to, but just couldn't find the words.









This is for all the mothers who go

hungry,so their children can eat.









For all the mothers who read 'Goodnight,

Moon 'twice a night for a year.



And then

read it again, 'Just one more time.



'





This is for all the mothers who taught

their children to tie their shoelaces before

they started school.



And for all the mothers

who opted for Velcro instead.









This is for all the mothers who teach their sons

to cook and their daughters to sink a jump shot.









This is for every mother whose head turns

automatically when a little voice calls 'Mom?'

in a crowd, even though they know their

own offspring are at home or even away

at college or have their own families.









This is for all the mothers who sent their kids

to school with stomach aches, assuring them

they'd be just FINE once they got there, only

to get calls from the school nurse an hour later

asking them to please pick them up.



'Right away!'





This is for mothers whose children have gone

astray,who can't find the words to reach them.





For all the mothers who bite their lips until they

bleed when their 14 year olds dye their hair green

or their 16 year old comes home with a tattoo.









For all the mothers of the victims of

recent school shootings, and the mothers

of those who did the shooting.









For the mothers of the survivors,

and the mothers who sat in front of their TVs in horror,

hugging their child who just came home from school, safely.









This is for all the mothers who taught their

children to be peaceful, and now pray

they come home safely from a war.









What makes a good mother anyway?



Is it patience? Compassion? Broad hips?

The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and

sew a button on a shirt, all at the same time?





Or is it in her heart?

Is it the ache she feels when she

watches her son or daughter disappear

down the street, walking to school alone

for the very first time?





The jolt that takes her from sleep to

dread,from bed to crib, at 2 A.M.



to put

her hand on the back of a sleeping baby?



The panic, years later, that comes again

at 2A.M.



when she just wants to hear

their key in the door and know they

are safe again in her home?





Or the need to flee from wherever she is

and hug her child when she hears news

of a fire, a car accident, a child dying?





The emotions of motherhood are

universal and so our thoughts are for

young mothers stumbling through diaper

changes and sleep deprivation...



And for mature mothers learning to let go.









For working mothers and stay-at-home mothers;





single mothers and married mothers;





mothers with money, mothers without.









This is for you all. For all of us...





Hang in there.



In the end we can

only do the best we can.



Tell our children

everyday that we love them.



And pray

and never stop being a mother...





Please pass along to all the mothers in your life.









'Home is what catches you when

you fall - and we all fall.



'





Please pass this to a

wonderful mother you know.









(I just did!)
