Mothers Day Ideas

rebeccak

I'm planning on sending flowers as I won't be there for Mother's Day but has anyone got any recommendations based on price and quality?

if I ask her what she would like, ill get, "oh don't waste your money, I don't need anything" and ill say "then have something you want" birthday xmas its the same.:rotfl:


so Ive not asked and im thinking of the gravity video, or something along the lines of newton's cradle, but she has that and is fascinated with it.


now when we where kids she had this (toy/desk orniment) like a roadrunner type bird that rocked back and forth and every so often would dip right down as though having a drink.
if anyone knows what I mean, what its actually called, or where I could get one id much appreciate it.

Was reading this thread the other day looking for erm... inexpensive ideas for Mum.

Have just got a great mirror, magnet & keyring all personalised with pic of her doggy - she's going to love them & I'm not worrying about bank manager calling round!

Got these all from studiocrafts.net - loads of great ideas on there for future too!

Already trying to be more organised this year - just hope I remember all the great stuff I've seen for other pressies!

yes that's it. many thanks:T


ive been searching for a couple of hours under desk toys and perpetual motion but had no luck.


7 -21 days delivery time from amazon and its in stock. are they having a laugh, that's very slow and so no sale, it may not arrive in time. perhaps a xmas pressie if I cant find elsewhere. it will be easier now I know the name .

If you want something specific to Mummy's (from young children) BornGifted.co.uk have some really nice stuff and they do free delivery.

My dd's are young and always want to get me a pressie, I give them £5 in home bargains to choose things, from last year the mirror they got me is in dd1 make up tub and the headband is on dd2 currently has my head band on!

They did also do afternoon tea for the mums in our family as my sisters boys never get her anything and obviously grandma is invited. My SIL was away last year so couldn't come. We made cream horns, cakes etc. It was really nice.

Im planning on giving my mum a box of chocolates and flowers, then later on I would surprise her by taking her out for a meal
