I am a serious, SERIOUS procrastinator!
I have no idea what to get them (aside from a card)...am I an idiot or what?
Help me with Mothers Day gift ideas?
Haha... I do this EVERY time... which is why they always get flowers! Go to yellowpages.com and go to their town and do a search for florists. Call them up and order a boquet over the phone and pay for it with a check card or credit card! I plan on doing this tomorrow!
You're not that bad... I still have my BFF's birthday present waiting to get sent... it's been wrapped for like 2 months... I just have to drag my butt to the post office.
Reply:Haha... THAT'S funny! Now I don't feel so bad... BUT... I have been holding onto these blankets for 1.5 years that I've been meaning to send to a friend. I don't think I can beat 3 years with anything though... haha! Report Abuse
Reply:Is that a rhetorical question?
You know your mom and grandma better than anyone here does, so you know better than us what they would like (at least, you should!). And in this day and age, you can buy practically anything online and ship it overnight anywhere.
If you still need hints, here are some basic Mother's Day ideas: flowers, candy, books, perfume, gift certificates for a spa or department store. Go to Amazon.com, Yahoo! Shopping or any basic shopping search engine online to get more ideas.
Get crackin'!!!!!
Reply:get them a gift card to their favorite store or some perfume. Myabe even a suprise visit. Chocolate, and jewlry are the best. But think of what they like and get as much as you can to get close to their faves.
good luck ( :
p.s. thanks for reminding me 2.
Reply:You're not an idiot. I live across town from my mom and had no idea what to get her.
If they garden, perhaps you can get them gift certificates to a nursery in their area. Or the old traditional flower delivery.
Good luck.
Reply:Can you have flowers sent to them from their area? Or even gift baskets? Their are floral shops that can find the closest one to them and send them for you.
Reply:I decided on a gift basket with lotions; liquid soap; body spray; bath gels; scented candle etc., so that she can
really relax and indulge. And it was in a pretty basket that she can use for something else when she wants.
Good Luck.
(or you could always wire flowers)
Reply:Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:
Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!
The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.
Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.
Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.
This is a really beautiful poem too!
Women have strengths that amaze us.
They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up for injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without new shoes so their children can have them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.

This was for my 2 grandmas and step grandma. this helps if ur on a tight budget. As for my mom probably take her 2 a nice spa and make her bib (breakfast in bed) and take her 2 her fave restaurant for supper and maybe some nice new dishes or a pool cue.(we have a pool table).
