Anyone know what I can give my mom for mother's day? She doesn't like teddy bears much, she doesn't want flowers...they will die...I think she has enough perfume...I've been on for a few hours trying to find something. What are you buying your mom, wife or girlfriend for mother's day?

Does she like body lotions? I always give my sisters (they are mom's)
Bath and Body work baskets, and they always seem pleased. I would buy something for my Mom, but she passed away 10 years ago. Whatever you give her, tell her you love her!! She'll appreciate it, trust me, I'm a Mom!

i got my mom a kimono.

Sorry about your mom.

Thanks, I'll see about that, I like Bath and Body works, but I didn't think about looking at their website. I tell her I love her all the time, but she's kind of hard...now that I think about it, I'm the one who says it first. Thanks again!

You are very welcome!

she told me she didn't want flowers this year, and she doesn't eat candy, and she never uses any bath/spa stuff i get her, and she doesn't listen to music unless i load it on her iPod, so what the hell else could i get her but a kimono?

Anx said:

I know...my mom is kinda picky...she should be satisfied with whatever I get her... the bath and spa stuff I gave her for her birthday is still sitting in her room.

I have no idea what to give my mom either, I think I will make her a card and give her money

anyway.... org ate response once again

I was saying alot but...


If all else fails...gift cards are the best choice!!!!

I am getting my mom a gift certificate for her favorite beauty salon

i'm thinking of getting my mom a gift card for somewhere really fun that she'd never usually go, just so she'll get herself stuff like jeans and sweaters and hoodies and stuff she wants but never gets herself.

Anx said:

Awww...that's nice

I got my mom a framed photo for her condo. I'll probably get her something else too.

take her out for the day, take her to the places she would like to go and then end it with a meal

Take her out for dinner. Buy her a book she may enjoy. If she doesn't like the book, then at least she will like the meal! Hopefully...

What the hell????...is there another Mothers day coming up?, i swear i just gave that whore who spawned me money this past year.

I got a early gift well 2 but one was closer to my bday but was actualy was the reason I got a gift anyway my friend gave my mom a necklace that she thinks is from me.... Iv got to get my ass to the store and get her something nice.

An experience gift? Movie tix, gift certificate for a manicure, museum entry. . .? Most people don't need more "stuff" and do need more FUN.

well....now she's saying she wants jackie o. sunglasses for mother's day.

freakin hippie moms

Ok, not to put a damper on this thread but,
Trust me from the heart, that it is not what you give your Mom...it's that you remember her. Acknowledge her, let her know you love her, spend time with her, even if it's just doing something simple with her like a walk. My Mom passed away 10 years ago, and I thought I was a pretty good daughter, but to this day I always feel like I should have done more things with her. She loved to go to lunch, just sit and talk girl things, she loved to go to the nursery to walk around and look at flowers ( I thought this was the most boring thing in the world, but it made her happy)
Surprise her and invite her over for dinner, send her a nice card, for no reason at all. Love, hug and kiss your Mom.
Trust me as a Mother of 4, your Mom deserves the best!!

Happy Mother's Day, to all the org Mom's!!!!

I renewed my mom's subscription to Cooks Illustrated. She loves reading articles that begin, "We started with 452 chickens and then..."

A ticket to a massage parlor, pedicure, manicure, sauna or something.
Or maybe a ticket to the theater, a concert.
Does she like gardening? A big plant with beautiful flowers.
Or is she into jewelery? A necklace, bracelet
Good luck with it.

My mother is the selfless type who rarely does anything nice for herself. She works out nearly every day, but never goes for a massage or anything.

I just got her a gift certificate for a holistic aromatherapy/hot stone massage. I'm so excited to give it to her!
