Don't forget this Sunday(18th march) is mothers day (uk)



You could post here to say what you will be doing on mother's day, or what you shall be buying/doing for your mother, even leave a message here for your mum, or maybe post to say what your children have done for you.

As I say to my mother... "Every day is Mother's Day".. heh.. suck up.
I bought her a bunch of flowers last week.. surely she doesn't need anything for a while now.. ;) (I'm joking.. )

Oh, what to buy, what to buy...

Tasha, how about taking her out for a meal? and paying? :P Actually, maybe we should do that for mum...

And Happy Mother's Day to all you forum mothers out there! :)

As a mother myself, I do love flowers, however it is nice to have something you can keep, e.g a nice photo frame or keyring. my mother has allergies so I won't be getting her flowers, but I have got her a photo frame with a photograph of all her grandchildren in, oh and something practical, a hands free kit for her mobile phone.




edit: awww msnerdinator thankyou xx

Oh, another idea could be to buy something online and have it delivered for Saturday (or something). That kinda stuff surprises my mother so much, heh.

And when we buy stuff as a family for my mother (outside of Mother's Day), she always works out that we've got her something.. "I know you girls are up to something. I'm your mother!" I'm telling you.. I want those mother powers. That special sixth sense...

It's quite easy spoiling my mother.. she loves simple things, so we never run out of ideas. lol

My mother loves pictures of the family.
So this year as well as her flowers and chocs, im doing her a big frame filled with pics of all her kids grandkids ect.
All pics stuck in together s a ( forgive my spelling of this ) COLAGE i think lol.
She will love it,

That sound really good, cherry, bet she will love it.

This is bringing back memories of all the silly things we've done for our mother...

I remember one time we missed Mother's Day (purposely!!) and gave her gift the day after. You could tell that on Mother's Day she thought we had forgotten.. it was so hilarious! We're bad daughters..

Oh, but there was this one time when we really did forget it was Mother's Day.. so dad bought flowers.. heh, so cute! And made it look like it was from all of us. Rofl..

And that's a cute collage idea, Cherry!

Well, my lovely mother died 4 years ago, and on Mothers Day I don't usually get anything. So what I normally do, is buy a lovely big bunch of my mum's favourite flowers, and give them to myself. This way I get something (even if I buy it myself!), and I have lovely thoughts of my gorgeous late mother.

Happy mothers day to all the mums out there!

ill probably give my mom a card and a hug... id do more.. but im pretty broke.. and i have no creativity

but i dont know when mothers day in the us is... i should probably find out

Awww fairy , sorry to hear that, but what a lovely idea you have.

One of the nicest things you could do for your mother is tidy your room, do the washing up for the day, make unexpected cups of tea, do some housework, cut the grass, clean the windows! Yes you should be doing these things all year round but on Mother's Day it shows that you're making an extra special effort!!


Even though you buy those flowers for yourself, I'm sure your mum is still enjoying them. Bless you, hun x

Apparently it's the same in Anguilla, Aruba, Austria, Bahamas, Barbados,Bangladesh, Belgium, Belize, Bermuda, Bonaire, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cuba, Croatia, Curaçao, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Grenada, Honduras, Hong Kong, Iceland, India, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Latvia, Malta, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Suriname, Switzerland, Taiwan, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

It used to be a nice lunch out with the family at a restaurant - but since my gorgeous little niece came along they all (except me and Mrs Bad) prefer to go to someone's house for a BBQ.

Mrs Bad and I always buy our mums a potted Chrysanthemum plant each, which lasts much longer than flowers.

When I was in grade school, I hand-made a card for my mother. In it, I wrote a poem. I don't remember all of it, but the last four lines were: "In my mind, you'll never grow old, because your heart is made of gold. It really must be quite an art, to be alive with a metal heart." She kept that card for many years, and said that it was the best gift ever. She's gone now, but she will live on, with love, in my memories.

Last year the kids clubbed together and bought me a Wacom pen and tablet thingie because I had started playing iSketch. Think everyone regrets that now as it has been in pretty constant use ever since!
