    Name of present - Flowers and Chocies and a £9 donation to save the children
    Do you make it or buy it - Buy it
    Total Cost - £19.99
    Details - http://www.doublethelove.co.uk/delia

    Order this beautiful, fragrant bouquet, and we'll deliver it to your mum in time for Mother's Day, along with some lovely chocolates. But that's not all. £4.50 of the price will go to Save the Children - an amount which Bunches will match, making a total donation of £9. So as well as putting a smile on your mum's face, these gorgeous flowers will put one on the face of a child who's missing a mother's love.
    Like my avatar, took the photo myself with the free digital camera I bought from boots with all my free points! I love moneysaving.

    Hi, Ferrero Rocher 342 @ Boots 300g @ £4 per case. yummy
  • My children (with daddy's help) made me a compilation CD of my favourite songs, but inbetween them, he had recorded them singing nursery rhymes, it was several years ago but it still brings a lump to my throat when I hear it.

    Cost next to nothing for a blank CD but to me-totally priceless.

    I'm making my mum a necklace to match her favourite jumper. A few beads, some ribbon = £2 or less and it's thoughful and she's guaranteed to like it.
    My Doctor told me that "1 out of 3 people who start smoking will eventually die." The other two apparently became immortal.

    I'm getting married in Scotland next month, and the hotel we are staying at has it's own beauty salon. I've booked my Mam in for a wash and blow dry as her Mothers Day gift, so she can have a little bit of pampering on my wedding day.

    Many Mam's rush around every day, so you could book your Mam in at your local salon for a pampering treat like a hair do, manicure, massage, facial etc.
    Here I go again on my own....

    I'd love something like that :) But I haven't got any kids to make me anything for mothers day - although I'm sure my OH will buy me a card from my ickle Biccie boy (my 2 year old cocker spaniel) :D
    Everyone has a photographic memory, it's just some of them don't have film.

    One of those packages at a photo studio. Where mom will have her make up done and hair. Then get her photo taken, most of these companies just charge for the photos purchased. A real treat and a nice pic of the final result of the day.
    A smile and manners doesnt cost any thing

    I had a right good find the other day. Mum & dads fave thing is a little walk and a massive pub lunch- they call it thier "dates". Found a "2005 AA Country Pubs for Food lovers" ( here http://www.sprintbooks.co.uk/scripts/browse.asp?ref=0749546867&source=K84 ) In 99p stores for, yes 99p.

    She'll be chuffed with that I think - and so am I !! lol !!
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.

    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Last year my 2 yr old son made me a lovely colourful picture at nursery which he was so proud of along with a hand made card. These are the gifts that stay with you for years. This year I have my son, now 3, and 18mth daughter who will prob do same at nursery. Can't wait! I like to write a letter of thanks instead of buying the slushy cards from shops with a few flowers!
