Mother's Day Gifts

TexasT · 05-04-2008, 11:10 AM

What are you getting your mother/wife for mother's day? It's always a challenge for me since my mom is so picky. I have to get her something she will actually use or else it will sit on her dresser forever or until my sister steals it and uses it. She likes this perfume by Givenchy but I got her perfume last year. Granted it was the wrong scent of Givenchy perfume, but she still uses it. She'd be more than happy with a card with money in it, but I don't feel like that's personal enough.

What ideas do you guys have?

We usually make up a large outdoor flower pot with flowers that she likes. Usualy not ready until a ways after Mothers Day but she knows she will be getting it. So just a card on Mothers day.

my mom really like chocolates so i always get her see's chocolates toffee
(thats her favorite kind)

My Mother is no longer liveing. I will buy my wife a box of choclate's and a nice card.
I will cook something she likes on the grill for Mothers day.
She will be treated like the Queen she is.
I will probably make home made ice cream too.
Our son buys great gifts so I'm sure she'll be pleased.

We always have a fish fry for my mom. She really likes to have fried catfish, homemade french fries, a salad, and fresh iced tea. Mmmm.

ArkansasHunter · 05-04-2008, 11:39 AM

Texas T don't forget the Hush Puppys. LOL

TXplt · 05-04-2008, 02:55 PM

Roses this year for Wife (and mom); Flowers for Mom.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm the new Ruger's been cleaned up pretty well after its first shooting (only to verify it works

)......... Maybe that's an idea as well as the flowers !

My Missus keeps reminding me "She" personally didn't make me a Father so I don't need to get her a Mother's day gift, but her no account son I have no doubt will ruin the day by ignoring her yet again. That's alright though because I intend to make her day as special as I have it in my power to do. She deserves it!

Seabeescotty · 05-04-2008, 08:41 PM

Well, I figger, now that you reminded me, I better not forget! That ole doghouse gets cold at night!!

Big Tool · 05-04-2008, 10:14 PM

definitely a card, and some chocolate covered cherries. "her favorite"

TexasT · 05-04-2008, 10:19 PM

Well my mom just called me. Seems like she might like it if I came home and that would be gift enough for her lol. It'll cost about 100 bucks with gas.

billy · 05-04-2008, 10:22 PM

a pork chop and a six pack

My brother, sister, me and spouses are taking Mom on a riverboat dinner cruise.

My wife already got a pair of 1\2 carat diamond earrings that she picked out and bought for herself (how romantic), but I've got a few surprise up my camoflauged (sp?) sleeve. There may be a B&B and baby oil involved, but who knows???

billy · 05-04-2008, 10:53 PM

BBQ and baby oil?

TexasT · 05-04-2008, 11:08 PM

^ and ^^ don't put those thoughts in my mind about my mom lol

Well you know, my wife keeps asking me that. Then I kindly remind her of the $500.00 cash I gave her last week from the sale of a car I've had for like 26 years. Got it when I was 18.
And since, she's bought herself an iPod as well as some iPod accessories. So when she asks, I say, well let's see, so I guess, in reality, I've already gotten you a pink iPod and some accessories to go with it and whatever cash is left, or should I have just waited until Mother's day? lmao
