Derrico Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Ok guys (and gals) Mother's Day is this weekend and I have no idea what to get/do for my mom and wife. I was thinking of breakfast in bed along with some flowers and a card for my wife and maybe flowers and a card for my mom. Just sounds so cliché though. Anyone else with any good ideas/plans for mom/wife on the weekend? I may need to steal a couple..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else with any good ideas/plans for mom/wife on the weekend? I may need to steal a couple..... I'm driving home to Ohio to hand deliver a painting a friend of mine did (he does zoological illustrations for Cornell and I bought a print of one of his chickadees- truly exceptional stuff) and a couple of those beautiful Ukrainian painted eggs from easter that are too fragile to send in the post. Usually sending flowers does the trick. And chocolate. I had a guy just commission me last minute to do a painting of the family cat for his mum. Little stuff to make 'em smile. Generally I don't think too many mother's day gift recipients care, it's knowing that they're on your mind that means the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Send the wife and mother flowers at work if possible with sweet cards. Being able to have other ppl know someone cares about them means something. Cook the wife breakfast in bed but go all out. Make her an omlett or something she will really love. Flowers are easy but girls love them too. Not sure if you have kids or can pull it off but draw her a bubble bath with scented candles and just let her relax. For your mom take her to dinner at her favorite restaurant and just talk to her. idk I'm far to young to really know anything but if I were home that's what I would do.

Hoss Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) I cheated this year. I get to graduate on Mother's Day which seems to be a good gift since I'm the first of her six (seven if you count a twin sister I had who died in the womb) to get a college degree.

dEnnis the Menace Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 the lady and I are taking both of our mothers out to dinner on Friday, and then I'm going to drop all 3 of them off at the spa so they can massages. boom. Moms taken care of and my lady is happy. 100% satisfaction to go around! :flirt: While they're spa-ing it up, I'll probably go grab a few beers down the road and watch some hockey!! :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Every Mothers Day I make a fancy meal for my mother and MIL. And wife too of course. I only buy a gift for my wife. She usually tells me ahead of time what she'll be getting. :bag: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of breakfast in bed.... Yes. Both of them in bed. It would be unforgettable. And you'd be in therapy for the rest of your life.

biodork Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 For new moms, some kind of personalized photo gift is nice (Shutterfly, etc). For my own mom, there's a wine festival every May and I started getting us tickets to that. She got to drink wine while we spent the day together, so double-win!

Hoss Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Congratulations! Thanks. I am excited because I'll be graduating magna ###### laude (3.5 GPA and above) and she doesn't know that so it'll be my surprise for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopefulFuture Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I am a child of rape. My mother, being Roman Catholic did not believe in abortion. Don't send mom out, don't buy her extravagant or expensive gifts. The greatest gift of all is to spend the day with her. Memories of togetherness both past and present are the key to love, regardless of money spent. My 2 cents is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Not for nothing, young Tank here is quite talented. I stumbled upon some of his broadcast work at Bonas. Good lucking guy as well. Talent and looks. I hate him even more now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
