What are some cool activities or gifts,aside from dinner and flowers, for mother's day?

Seriously find out what she really needs help doing and ask her what date you need to be there.Tell her to make a date for it.It could be just a easy weeding her yard,painting her bathroom,clearing stuff off a top shelf,or raking her yard...Clean the pool.Easy just ask.Give her a May or June calendar and tell her to make a date....

Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:





Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!





The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.





Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.





Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.





This is a really beautiful poem too!





Women have strengths that amaze us.


They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens but they hold happiness, love and joy.


They smile when they want to scream.


They sing when they want to cry.


They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.


They fight for what they believe in.


They stand up for injustice.


They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.


They go without new shoes so their children can have them.


They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.


They love unconditionally.


They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.


They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies.


They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.


They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.


Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.


They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.


The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!


Women do more than just give birth.


They bring joy and hope.


They give compassion and ideals.


They give moral support to their family and friends.


Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.

Reply:Where do you live? As for activities, if the weather is nice, a nice walk in a local park would be appropriate. If the weather is warm and pleasant, maybe a picnic?





Gifts- a photo of the family in a nice picture frame.


Personal goodies like bubble bath, lotion and the like





A CD from her favorite artists may be a nice gift. She can take a bubble bath, put on the CD and enjoy a glass of her favorite beverage!





I hope these ideas help.
Reply:Hi. You can give her a "GIFTCARD" or a "GIFT VOUCHER". There's usually a range of card designs and denominations to choose from. She can use it to pay for all or part of any purchase.
