im getting my mum an orchid plant, apparently they are very in at the minute and last a long time, you can get some really nice sophisticated colours... perfect!!!
You could also get her a box of chocolates and maybe a cake and then ice it yourself.

whatever you choose for your mum stacey she will love it just remember its not the cost of a gift its the thought that counts
A really nice picture frame and then get a pic of you and your mum together and put in it or just one of you perhaps?
I did that for my mum last year. With her still being in a different country photo's are precious. I had one of me and my son blown up and put into a really nice frame. Being a mum myself, even if your mum see's you every day, i know something like that would be appreciated by me from my son.
Even nicer would be a very good end of term report but we can't have everything

bath products, so she can indulge and spoil herself,and maybe take the younger siblings ( if u have them ) out for the day so she can have some time to herself,, believe me,, as a mom any time alone is worth its weight of gold,, :)
I've made my mum a gift bag full of pampering bath products, so she can really relax. She spends 5 days a week looking after other people's children and one of the mums went into labour so my mum had to look after the mums 2-year-old child for 2 days and nights. She needs a break, so hopefully she'll be able to spend a day really pampering herself. Just get your mum something she'd really like, bath stuff, flowers, chocolate, a photo frame with a nice picture. Last year i made my mum a scrapbook. She'll appreciate whatever it is.

I agree with what everyone is saying about the photos and everything, I've got my mum a bath gift set thing, but whatever you get her she will love it
but just make sure you give her at least something i forgot mothers day last year and my mum hasn't stopped going on about it, i mean she doesn't think my love is enough! :p

a box of chocolates or a nice bunch of flowers but if you have £10 you could buy her both
my mum begged for socks.... so thats what i've got her!
i have postponed mothers day until the sunday after!! as it is my little girls birthday on the 26th. so i have got to wait an extra week for my lie in and pressies!!!

aww willow but youll probably enjoy seeing your little girl happy with the stuff she gets
ive got my mum a plant that she already has and a cup, we were gonna get her an elliot and buttons bear but we got one for her b/day tomorrow
its my mums birthday on wednesday, why does it have to be so close to mothers day.
I think im going to get the andrea Bochelli CD, and maybe some perfume to save her stealing mine.

My mother died 4 years ago but i never forget her i always by flowers to stand by her photo.
But she always liked flowers chocolates. or a nice bath bomb from lush so they can have a soak after a hard day.
And dont forget to wait on her all day tea and toast in bed.

I still have to get my Mum something because she is going to tell me what she would like.

I do a similar thing on Father's Day, at my Dad's grave. Also on Wednesday i'm doing the same thing, because that would have been his 50th birthday.
Me and my sister are getting together to buy my mum a pressie- probably a CD player, because her one is broken. If you haven't got much money, then a charm braclet would be quite nice. Then on birthdays and things, you can buy extra charms to add to it :)

erm abi's idea is good the charm bracelet or the new mothers day album thats out
Im giving my mom the money to buy herself something!
Well if my sons are reading....
I would like some nice bath stuff (bath ballistics are great)
A bottle of sparkling wine ( you can get mini ones that are cheaper!)
A scented candle
And some peace and quite so I can enjoy them!
This will be my 5th years as a mother and so far I have gotten a dvd (at a time i didn't have a dvd player) so other mothers count yourselves lucky that you get something, even if it is just a card
i have just ordered my mum a Elvis Presley dvg going to get her a box of chocolates as well

It is Mother' Day this coming Sunday, 22 March. Will you spoil your mum and if so, how are you going to make her feel special? :)

well ive got tickets for my mum to go and see connie fisher!!(well she is 69) but has for me im getting taken out for sunday lunch which will be nice and my husbands mum is getting flowers
Nothing wrong with going to see Connie Fisher, no matter how old you are, if you like her, :) Looks like you are going to have a nice day, well deserved, no doubt.

ive not got anything for my mum yet, i havent had the time, ill probably get something on thursday
This will be the first mothers day since my mother in law died - no doubt my husband will be quite down.
WRT my Mum, I took her out for dinner with my dad and to a concert last week, and we are doing the same on 29th March - so I doubt I will see her on mothers day. I will send flowers and a card, though.
I am going out with all my sisters who are mothers and my mother for a dinner...
I have a college exam on sunday
I still have no idea what to get her!

I keep forgetting about this! Its my dads birthday on the 25th aswell lol everything comes at once.
I've paid for my parents to stay in a B&B up in Newcastle, near my sister for a night.
I was looking online at Interflora and such to send her some flowers (seeing as I'm 100 miles from home) but they are so expensive. The cheapest bunch is £25, plus £6 delivery for ordinary days or £8 to have them delivered on Sunday.

Still stuck on what to get my mum. It's her birthday on the 31st of March too. Hmm... will probably get her chocolates and a CD for Mother's Day. Don't know for her birthday though..
Its cos as part of they A2 course they have to make up a group dance and its easier to use other people who dont do the course to be in it, since everyone has to make up a dance as well
Its not too bad
We had the show tonight, was sooo nervous
A bit of nerves are needed for a good performance :) How did it go?
Im actually working on sunday - we're crazy busy at work :rolleyes: As for my mum, i dont know what to get her; last year i took her out for a meal - might just do that again!
Some ideas:
If mum loves gardening, Marks and Spencer sell enamel polka dot herb pots for £9.50, or get her a watering can or some short wellies. gardening gloves, a book on gardening/plants/flowers.
Or a new teapot or some new herbal tea flavours, chocolates/champagne. Or perhaps a book/CD/DVD you know she would enjoy.
Bits of jewellery is always nice and costume jewellery is not too expensive.
There is the 1001 little beauty miracles book for £3.50 from Marks and Spencer or a new make-up bag/handbag.
Or a new teapot
Yes, if your mum likes her tea, get her a teapot. Porcelain ones are nice, make sure it has a pretty pattern on.

i love getting flowers for mothers day flowers off your children are always special, i wouldnt appreciate a teapot :lol:

ive got a card, ive not got a pressie yet though. although according to my sis my mum said she didnt know what she wanted so we can get her something in a few weeks time, which is good cos i dont actually have any time between now and sunday to go and get anything!

Not that I want to fan the "thread" debate
but as Uk has already celebrated Mothers
Day this year in March as usual + I was
surprised to see your post come up.!!
Ive no realised that Australia celebrates
in May.
So is this a multi -purpose thread- not that
are many posts on it -since 2006:o::p
