Shopping For Mother's Day..Pic Of Me And My Mom!!

My mother may be the hardest person to shop for. Mostly because when she wants to spend money--she spends it on everybody else but herself. You may think that would make it easy--but it doesn't. She does splurge on trips to get a diet coke or a starbucks. And as a result, she got a collective $40 in Starbucks giftcards for Christmas one year. My brother and I also often get her a robe and slippers.

So this year, I want to get her something she's not expecting. And yes, this is a ploy because she reads my blogs so MOM--TELL ME SOME GOOD IDEAS. :)

What are you getting for your mom? My mom is pretty tech-savvy so she has all the gadgets she needs. She does like tools and shopping, maybe a giftcard to Lowe's or TJ Maxx? (She also loves a bargain...that has been passed down genetically to me).

I need your help, give me some ideas!

But here are some great ideas that I MIGHT use for my momma....

1. Digital Picture Frame

2. Flowers! (bright and colorful ones)

3. Gift Cards (for shopping, restaurants)

4. Power Tools (for all the remodeling the ladies do! They need their own!)

5.Spa Treatments (manicures and pedicures, maybe a massage)

What else can you guys think of? Here's a pic of me and my momma- Happy Mother's Day To My Mom!!!!! :)

So what did you end up getting your mom? She is absolutely beautiful, as are you, even if those two obnoxious snits at the mall wanted to make catty comments about your clothes when you ran to the mall a while back! --------------------------Well thanks, I'll be sure to tell my mom you said so. I got her a gift certificate to the JC Penney's we frequent for sales most Saturdays and a date with me to spend it. I signed my brother's name so now he's very happy with me :) My dad has a big green thumb, so he got her some gorgeous flowers he'll plant around the outside of the house. She was pretty pleased!

This is not a perfect idea for your mother, but it was a great one for me, maybe you can find some inspiration from it. I got my mothers day present early because the kids will all be gone on Sunday working and such. Anyway my daughter got a big flower vase and filled it with different colored M&M's and put suckers in a foam ball at the top so that it looked like a boquet of flowers! Such a neat idea and very helpful because I have recently quit smoking and tootsie pops and suckers have been a lifesaver. So maybe there is something that your mom likes or could use and you can arrange it like that! Good luck on finding the perfect gift! As a mom, I like gifts that are still made by my babies even though they are in their twenties.

I tried to find you live blog for this mornings show but I couldn't, where is it located? I can't believe that is your mom, she looks really good!!! I like the idea for the spa day, we gave my mom one last year and she has never had a massage before and now I think she has had about 10 since then!!! Ha, she got hooked huh? I think that's a good idea. To find the live blog just go to the 13 News This Morning Tab and it should be in the upper right hand corner. It's a big gray and white box where you can type a message in the bottom and everybody's comments show up in the top half. Thanks for writing! LS

Posted by: Mom Wow Linds! All great ideas! I would love whatever you picked. The best thing about Mother's Day is having both of my kids home. Time with you is a great gift! Remember when you were in Jr. High and High School and I used to say, "I'm you're parent now; someday we can be friends too". I'm so glad its "someday". By the way, the comments made my day! :) Can't wait to see you this weekend! - Love, Your Proud Mom ------------Aw mom! Does that mean I don't have to buy you anything? Just kidding. But I do have a sneaking suspicion that you are just as excited to see my puppy as you are me :) Can't wait to see you too! LS
