I usually get my mom a box of Thorntons Continental choccies. She loves them. they are quite costly but meh, its only once a year!

They have different sizes though, i wont be getting one that big! Cost a fortune.

[Kirkatronics]

Every year i make my Mam a card, she prefers it.
She has them all, every last one i made.

EDIT: When is mothers day?

I might get mine something again this year.

My mum won't be here during Mother's day, bit annoying. But I'll be buying her some flowers and probably some vouchers for waterstones, she's very into reading at the moment!

[Eenuh]

Ehhhh, I don't think we have Mother's Day until somewhere in... May or something. At least I hope so, otherwise I really didn't know about it. X3

[uəʌəsʎɐɾ]

It was my mum's birthday last week... I got her a massive expensive bunch of flowers. I did, however, forget to send her birthday card 'til yesterday, so she'll get that and be all perplexed and stuff!

[Jimbob]

I usually pick up the usual chocolates, which are usually the best ones i can find. And i always pick up an excellent card for her as well, she always comments on how good i am at choosing cards.

[Ashley]

Its a pain, within four months its my mother's birthday, christmas and mother's day but then I'm stuck as to what to get as I don't want to repeat things.

Anyway so yeah, im stuck. As I tend to be. Plus I don't have much money.

[Dan Dare]

I've already bought earings this year.

chocolates it is!

[EchoDesiato]

It better be...

[Paj!]

My mum asked me to order Heartburn on DVD for her, which I could tie into a mother's day present.

[DomJcg]

Well, i'm at uni so... a card it is =]

[Eenuh]

It better be...

Wikipedia to the rescue! Apparently it's on the second Sunday of May, so that would make it May 9 this year. Sooooo still enough time to think about what to get her, haha. =)

[Raining_again]

Sicilian orange yankee candle which I got and gave her a week ago :smile:

i thought may the 10th was the sunday?
cause annoyingly.. thats 1 year since the death of my mum -

Ah yes, sorry my mistake. May 9 is the date in 2010.
And sorry about your mom. *hugs*

im just glad its not mothers day here!

[Pantsu Man!]

Seen as though it's her birthday in the same month it'll be just a birthday card from me. I never understood giving aunties anything and nor do I understand that every year we've given my grandma a card. She is not my mother. Why do I have to giver her a card? *sigh*

[Jav_NE]

It was my moms birthday last week too. So unfair. I just got her a card for that though as shes back home in brum and im down here in bournemouth so, i am exempt from present giving :p

I'll be visiting on the 25th though so i need to get the choccies for then. The card will have to suffice for the actual day.

If i lived with her i would do other nice things instead though. Lke make her breakfast in bed, clean the house and make her dinner. Much nicer than a present.

[welsh_gamer]

My mum is quite difficult to buy for, so I've got her some chocolates,
Flipper Critters - a Nintendo DS pinball game - she has almost every other handheld pinball game, and a crosswords book. We'll probably go out for a meal on the Saturday, as it'll be less busy, and I'll do the washing up on Sunday.

[Fierce_LiNk]

I won't be seeing my Mumsy until about...I dunno, maybe a month's time. So, I'm gonna hold back on this and get her something when I go home. Think it'll be better that way.

What to get her, though. Hmm, I'm going to stay away from those traditional Mother-gifts - the giftbox set which contains candles, bath stuff, and smelly stuff. Perfect for Mother's Day, Christmas and Birthdays. Hahahaha.

[Daft]

I'll draw my mum something. It's been a while since I put a lot of time into a drawing.

[Blue_Ninja0]

You guys scared me! I thought I had forgotten when I saw the thread.
Mother's day is only on the first Sunday of May around here.

[Goafer]

I might just give her the present of a devilishly handsome son. After all, what better way to celebrate mothers day than reminding her that she is, in fact, a mother. Then I'll get her to do my laundry, thus further reminding her what a great mother she is.

[Nintendohnut]

I didn't realise you were in bournemouth! I live there (when I'm not at uni) and I just assumed that nobody on here was anywhere near me! Don't worry, I'm not going to make you hang out with me or anything, that's just awesome.

You jest but my present this year mostly consists of lying to my mum about not being able to get a train home til monday, then turning up on sunday morning. There will probably be some sort of physical gift as well, but my train ticket is £72 so it won't be anything too expensive sadly.

[Letty]

I decided on making my mother a delicious cake.

*crosses fingers*

[Happenstance]

I think its just gonna be a card and chocolates or plant from me this year. Its my nieces first birthday on the same day so ive got to get something for her aswell.

[Coolness Bears]

Daffodils! :D

My mum's favourite flower! :) Perfect gift.

I also have her birthday before that. I ordered the present now but a bit late. :(

[Sheikah]

I've bought her a digital photo frame - hopefully it won't be one of them presents that just lies around and is never used!

Load it with all her favorite pictures, and a few embarrasing ones for later on in the slide show :p

[Jav_NE]

I have to sacrifice lunchtime SFIV brawls to go send her card today. Boo!

[Ashley]

Well I've gone for wine and chocolates (hotel chocolat fancy ones) from myself and now need to find something to buy for my brother to give her, thinking maybe Mamma Mia? I don't know. I don't really have much money left :/

[EEVILMURRAY]

Tell him to pull his finger out. S'what I'm doing this year. I can't remember if I've made him pay half of it already though...

[Ashley]

My brother is broke and unemployed (and already £60ish in dept to me). I do it every year/christmas/birthday. As I see it, my mother deserves to be treated and its not her fault he's not got a job. At least I only have to do it for one brother now.

Likewise. He seems to be getting some form of monies somewhere so I hope she doesn't have to put up with more bullshit.

[Ten10]

Brought some face something something off grabitnow.com (too lazy to make a link) for just under 20 quid. Job done, ding dang doo.

Edit ok I'll make the effort http://www.grabitnow.com

[Shorty]

I bought my mum a DS lite (split cost with my sister) and 2 games for her birthday less than a month ago, my poor wallet ;_;

[Gentleben]

My Mum has recently starting collecting Willowtree figures. So I've just returned from town with this one for her. It's called Mother and son.

[Strider]

+ Free Lindt chocs from Tesco.

For some reason, when I see that because of her arms, I think of a moment in some film when she comforts the boy before breaking his neck.

[Roostophe]

I didn't buy anything, but my dad handed me a big bar of Orange Bournville chocolate and told me to give it to my mum tomorrow.

Okay then. Although I would have preferred it if this scenario happened on the day before my mum's birthday. (Yeah, I don't like Mother's/Father's/Valentine's Day etc.)

[Raining_again]

I've followed up with another lovely Yankee candle - peach and sweet berries! (£13something later!) a box of chocs from Thorntons and a card!

[Ganepark32]

My mother is away this weekend so unfortunately for her she won't be getting anything although I have bought flowers and their sitting in water so she'll just get them when she comes back on Sunday night/monday morning.

[Kirkatronics]

I forgot about it and when i went to the shop they had only got shitty shriveling flowers :'(
I bought her some chocolates, thats all i could think of.

[CoolFunkMan]

I got my Mom this...

http://www.thorntons.co.uk/public/pictures/products/large/2216.jpg

She really likes them, so it's all good. Plus it's her Birthday next week, so she didn't mind getting a small gift.

hahah - I got my mum the same but i think mine was the milk chocolate ones! great minds think alike :D

[Paj!]

My sister bought the actual stuff, but I reminded her to do so, so I'm fine with that.

- A Balloon
- Some shoes she wanted
- A little (expensive) purse thing
- A "best mum" toast thing that imprints that onto toast.

[S.C.G]

I got her this...

http://img.pctrecords.com/imgBank/o/020434.jpg

Judas Priest : Metalworks 'cos she likes them and so do I tbh as they are pretty awesome. :)

[Coolness Bears]

I hope my present arrives for my mum tomorrow it is already 3 days late!


I got her Schindler's List which she has been dying to see. :grin:

[Jordan]

Bought my mum a nice plant, its now in her office. I'll put a picture up later. :)
