OOT- help me get my wife a mother's day gift

[bazookajoe]

This will be my wife's first mother's day. We've been married 4 years and this is our first baby. What should I get her for up to $100 or so? She still has a gift certificate for a massage she hasn't used so that's out. Flowers are kind of lame and overdone so I don't want to do that either. I'm kind of stumped. Help me OOT.

Get her something "from" your child.

Maybe check out some concerts in the area. Or buy her a nice summer book and some earplugs and tell her you will take care of the baby whenever she wants to sit down for an hour and read it in peace.

I usually think its dumb when people buy mother's day gifts for their wives, etc. but this seems like a good exception.

If you hadn't already given her a "gift" you wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. Just kiddin' [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I bought my wife a frisbee for when we take this kids frisbee golfing. of course I'm unemployed and the $15 was about the limit of what I was willing to spend which makes it a bit harder to pick out a gift.

Plus when I suggested the frisbee idea to my 8 year old he loved it, so really he got her a frisbee that I paid for

i'm an esl teacher in taiwan, and here's something sweet i found for my kids to do. it might not really be best for op, but for others it might be good. best thing is it's cheap! lolz!

get a little box and wrap it nicely. affix card to outside with the following text:

This is a very special gift
That you can never see
The reason it's so special is
It's just for you and me.
Whenever you are lonely
Or are ever feeling blue
You only have to hold this gift
And know I'm hugging you.

You never can unwrap it,
Please leave the ribbon tied,
just hold the box close to your heart
It's filled with hugs inside.


pretty much guaranteed to make mama, if not cry, very happy.

i say give her another "gift" for mother's day

[Alobar]

uh, is it wifes day? Why are you buying her anything?

manufactured holidays are so effing lame. Do a better job showing her how much you appreciate her the other 364 days of the year, and then laugh at all the poor shmucks who have to sweat out stupid days like this one. If she still needs some stupid present from her HUSBAND on MOTHERS day, and gets pissy if you dont come up with the goods then trade her in for a better model.
