With the impending arrival of Mother's Day, I'm stumped for good ideas.:-5 I usually get flowers for mom but I thought some of you might have unique or interesting ideas, or could share what you've done for your mom that made a Mother's Day particularly special! Doesn't have to be a gift - it could be anything!!

Give her a "cheque" but not for money, eg, `I promise to do my mum`s shopping once a week for a year` or `i promise to babysit / cook / visit my mum once a week` or whatever? Just a thought!

I like that idea, john!! It's very original - I might just use it! Thanks.

Anyone else have ideas??

Yeah! Let's hear it! I'm pretty desperate this year! I'm all out of little "romantic surprises".

Make sure you see your mom/mum on Sunday...not Saturday...or she will get all hurt and talk in a sad voice. (Personal experience last night.) Ughhhh!!!

Give her a 8 x 10 "framed" recient Picture of you & your family (or you & significant other)

I suppose it depends how old your mum is, try to find out about a special time in her life & buy her something from that era.

I did it a while back, with a little help from Valerie & my mum was over the moon we spent all afternoon discussing the 50's x.

Are you really sure that's a "good" thing?
