I have no idea what to write in the card? I thought of writing a poem or something, I am not very good with words... I wanted to say something like

I know its three years late, but if anybody deserved these gifts it's you.
They cant make up for the past but I hope they go some way to letting you know what an amazing mum & friend you are.

Or something like that, I know its not worded very well, I struggle with emotional stuff haha!

I think it's worded well I would love for someone to do something like this for me too. You sound like a really great friend, and one I'd love to have

I think that sounds perfect!

I found out a few years ago that my mum had never had a xmas stocking, so when she was with us for xmas, we made up a stocking for her. She was quite moved by the gesture.

I'm sure your friend will really love what you're doing for her. It's not just the gifts, but the thought behind them.

You are so sweet! Honestly, you sound like a really nice friend, I'd be over the moon to have a friend like you.

*max*

I think it's lovely! You are a sweet friend.

For the card, how about "I so wish we had been friends 3 years ago, so I could have been there to remind you what a great person and a fantastic mum you are. We are friends now though, and I couldn't be happier to have you in my life, and to be part of yours! To an amazing woman, and to friendship, love X".
What you wrote is perfect though, just throwing in an idea.

That is a lovely idea and I think that anyone would appreciate such a caring gesture, the words you have put down here sound just fine to me and i know if someone done that for me I would be over the moon.

You sound like a lovely person.

Congratulations on the birth of your 'son/daughter' - three years on I want to let you know that you are a fantastic mum, great friend, and very special person and xxx is growing into a lovely young man under your gentle and constant guidance.

I feel blessed to have you both in my life, and thankyou for being there.

I think linking it to the birth is a bit odd, to be honest. sorry.

You don't want to make her feel uncomfortable, so get her the balloon and the egg and a card with a simple "Happy Easter" card with a "little note to say I appreciate the time you spend being my friend" type note in it.

She will "get" the sentiment behind the balloon without you having to explain I'm sure they will have Easter chick balloons for sale

You sound so lovely, OP x

Good friends and neighbours are few and far between and like you I'm so fortunate to have both. You obviously listen and build on what you hear. Your gifts and words are just right, they're from you and your heart, no need to look for anything else.

As others have said though you'll need to keep the tissues handy if my experience is anything to go by. My two closest friends and I were chatting about everything and nothing one day and one said she'd not had a napkin ring when she was baptised. I bought her one engraved with her name for her 60th birthday and oh dear, did she blub!

Sounds like a fantastic idea. You're a very thoughtful person and I'm sure she'll be really touched.
