Vouchers are prob the best present to get your mother nowadays. Its so hard to choose a gift and a voucher never fails

Bouquet of flowers and some chocs I should imagine... Havent really thought about it yet.. Might go into town after work and have a nosey around the shops for something more imaginative

Jim10000 · 23-03-2006 10:33am

do you know who invented Mother's Day?

Adolf Hitler!

mandz · 23-03-2006 10:41am

i'm thinking of sending her somewhere where she'll get breakfast in bed, looked after hand and foot, has a large grounds to walk round (if she wants to get out of bed) and in walking distance from teh town if she feels like going shopping -the local psychiatric hospital!! The woman has my head done in!! hehe

JohnCleary · 23-03-2006 10:45am

YOUR MA!

er, i mean

A Card...

matrim · 23-03-2006 11:11am

I guess I'll have to go home this weekend then. So her present will be a big bag of dirty clothes

.

We have already given our mother her present. It was her birthday at the start of the month so between me and my brothers we sent her to Paris for 3 days.
This was for her birthday and mothers day.

Miss Fluff · 23-03-2006 11:13am

Got her a BT voucher.

I know of six other people in just my area who where born on the 26th.

Its something about august and parents getting down with it.

Bob the Seducer · 23-03-2006 12:36pm

Ah mothers day, I remember the year I argued that it was not a real holiday but a capitalistic invention of hallmark which is why the date keeps changing depending on when the Sunday falls so (almost) all mothers are off work. (might do that again this year!....)

hullaballoo · 23-03-2006 12:45pm

Delia Smith's latest.

Tar.Aldarion · 23-03-2006 1:45pm

I don't know. It's really hard!
Keep those ideas coming.

Ragazza · 23-03-2006 1:51pm

Tickets to see the Hollies:D
She will love me, I will get the nicest dinners.

Dave! · 23-03-2006 3:31pm

I'm thinkin I'll get a professional family portrait done and framed and put on the wall... Might be good

There's a picture in one room (not professional) from about 10 years ago, so it'd be cool to have another of when we're all grown up!

Ragazza · 23-03-2006 5:27pm

We got the portrait for my dad's 60th. He loved it, he was really touched. (It was a supprise, just me and my sister and my two brothers)

Cost a small fortune! We went to a really good photographer in Lucan. Never got a good picture of any of us before, but the picture he took was class.

R0ot · 23-03-2006 5:31pm

I wish i was able to get my mum something

jebuz · 23-03-2006 5:44pm

i wonder would she like a shoebox of love...:rolleyes:

ST* · 23-03-2006 5:47pm

The same thing I do every other year. Break into the house, make her some breakfast - expensive coffee and a danish to top it off. Not forgetting the card and flowers either. I say 'break in' because my parents quite rightfully never entrusted me with a key to the house.

Eminem · 23-03-2006 5:51pm

I got me ma a box of chocolates , a teddy a card and more .

Eminem · 23-03-2006 5:53pm

Attol · 23-03-2006 6:00pm

An eeyore tshirt and a pair of navy velour trackies with eeyore on them from the Disney Store. She works from home and also has to travel a lot so should find a use for them!

Calendar Girls DVD.... she couldn't get anyone to go with her when it was on in the cinema. Got her a small box of champagne truffles too cause she loves them but is "on a diet" apparently
