What's the best gift/present that you can make to you mother?

May 9, 2010 6:27am CST
hell0 friends! Yesterday my cousin had a birthday, but I wasn't there, because she lives in my home town and I am far away from her. SO that's why I only talked with her on the phone. But my mom has a birthday after 3 days, and I want to ask you, what would be the best gift for her, if I can go home, and what shouldI do if I can't go home for that day? Thanks in advance to those who will help me

Hey phoenix! I think that the best gift that you could probably give to your Mom would be YOU! I know that that would be the best gift that I could give my Mom since we live 3000 miles apart! And I am hoping to see her next month if my health issues are taken care of and everything turns out ok! I sent her some roses for Mother's Day, but I know she would have much preferred us being together! I am praying that I will be ok and able to go see her in June as planned! I hope you too can go visit your Mom too!

hell0 my friend! wow- the distance is really big, does your mother live in another country, or is some state, which is actually on the other end of the country? You were from the usa, right? WEll, i guess that she would be really very happy if I can go for her birthday and offer myself as a gift, but as I have told to Anurag I really don't know will I have the permission to be away from the university for few days only. well, at least I will try, there is nothing to lose you know. BTW I hope that those roses that you have sent to your mother were still "alive" when she got it, because 3 000 miles are a really long way

wow, it is really nice having such a opportunity to send flowers through some company. we don't have something like that here in Bulgaria! :)

plain cash would do. your mother would know where to spend it best: she can treat herself or use the money for her house bills.

well, maybe you are right, but I never like to give money as a gift to someone, it just means that i don't respect that person :(

The best gift is YOU. A mother wants nothing more than to have her children around her. For her, that is worth more than anything the world can offer! I make a point of going back to my mom's once a month..we skyped to each other occasionally,my kids too! "Is heartbreaking when you know a mother would do anything for her 10 children, but the children couldn't do the same to her"

yeah, children are really the best gift for one mother and as you tell children are really not ready to do aynthing for their mothers but the mothers are, and yesterday a woman at the university told me the same thing :) well, it is really difficult to me to go home for her birthday, because I must be at the university, but I will surely try to do something to make her happy

The best present a child can give to their mother is themselves, Giving your heart and your devtion to your mother is priceless to her. No material gift can equal emotion.

yes my friend, you are so right, because people feel the happiest when they have their kids and their families all together, adn as you say no material thing can replace the joy of those things, but unfortunately I am really not sure can I go back home on that day, because I have a lot to do at the university and may not have the time to go there :(

yeah, things like that are always better than some material gift that they could receive, but the only question is what will make her happier- a material thing or a kiss, because there are many people who prefer the material things. well, i know that my mom is not a person like that, but I really want to give her something that will last forever and she can see it every day. taht's why i want to give her something material :)

The best thing to get for mom if she doesn't need anything that you specifically know of, is the kids! Photos of kids and grandkids, in some sort of nice arrangement, is an excellent way for her to enjoy her kids even when you are not around.

yeah, I can really make some photo album for her, not a digital one, I mean a paper one a real and authentic photo album, made by me and I guess that she will like that. I can make some photos with special effects so that they can look more interesting and I hope that she will like them. Well, the photo albu is really a nice idea, thank you so much :)

You can give a boquet of flowers to your mom. It is a nice gift. The best depends on the interests of your mother. My mom would like to have nice watch as a gift. She will also appreciate if I get her a gift coupen to the nearby resturant. She is fond of stitcing. I can get her soemthing to do with stitching. I don't know if she appreciate if I get her some gold. She may feel that I spend too much.

yeah, I know, but she actually prefers the potted ones, so I guess that it would be ebtter to take something potted, but first must know does she have suck a flower or not, because she has really many potted flowers at home :) hmmm, a watch would be really nice, because my mom has have some really nice casio watch but it brokes down, and she never repaired it. so maybe I could really buy hera watch.

Hi, its very sad to say u that i dont know my mom's b'day even she too. So i am deprived from offering some gifts. I think every women are fond of flowers. I never suggest u to give a boquet but i would like to say u to offer a beautiful flower plant. Take care n offer my best wishes to her.

ohhh, thank you I will. well, I was thinking about the same thing, because she really loves planted flowers and has really many of them, so that's why it is a little bit harder to me to find some that she still doesn't have already :)

i think there is no best gift for your mom except you. yes you dont tell her that you will go to her. but reach to her at her birthday surprisingly. i think for a mother her child is the biggest gift and you should give her the same. rest you can buy anything which your mother likes in general.

well, I guess that you are really right, because now, when me and my sister are far away frim her, maybe this one would really be the best gift that she could have for that special day, but I am really not sure can I do it, becaues I must be at the university and don't know could I have a permission no tbe on some of the lectures for couple of days! thanks for the good advice

Today was Mothers Day in the US. I took my mother out for dinner. Her birthday is in a few days, and I am always stuck trying to think of two presents in just a matter of days. For her birthday, I will probably take her out to eat again and get her a present. As money is tight and she knows it, the present will be something little. Probably the best gift, would be your presence if you can make it home, if not I am at a loss. Flowers are nice but they die, so maybe she would like an arrangement of plants that she can transplant and keep.

yeah, flowers are really nice, but there are also potted flowers which my mom likes more than the common picked ones. I guess that she would be really happy if I give her such a flower because she like them, but she also has many and different kinds, so i am afraid not to take for her something that she already has. That's why i have to know first what flowers she wants :)

you should have sent her something in the mail anyways. just a heads up on that one./ I always make something for my mom, even as I get older. A nice handwritten card and a homemade present is great. Breakfast in bed, knit something (a scarf of her favorite colors or a tea cozy), write and play a song, build a peice of furniture, make a slideshow, etc. The thing about family and mothers is that they love you and you love them no matter how much money you spend. Its about saying 'ilove you' and ' i spent the time to do this for you'. And if you make somethign yourself it proves that you were thinking about ther more and spent more personal time and creativity on it than just buying something for her. :)

yeah- something handmade is a good idea, I really can't remember when was the last time, that I gave her some handmade gift, but it would be really nice because I am actually very keen on making something interesting with my own hands, using materials like wood, leaves, cotton and something else. and a breakfast in the bed would be really nice, but I only have to be on time there thank you
