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

Umm, I think I would get my ass kicked if I did this [ QUOTE ]
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.

but thanks anyway. Also, it's standard with our 2 families and most other families I know to celebrate mother's day if you have a kid. It's a present from my daughter after all... It is kind of stupid, but hey I get something also for father's day so it all evens out. That Cheryl and Co. stuff looks pretty good, but I think it's too late now. I will remember it for later though. I think I like Gobbomom's idea. It will last awhile after all. Any ideas of a good plant that will last through the winter without dying? I'm near Chicago.
