Suggestions? UPDATED: Card Cover, Pg. 2!

Hmm.. maybe the drawing/painting like you said. Or do like coupons like someone said, as all you need is paper,makers, and your time to do whatever they say. Maybe, write something for her about how much you care about her/love her then have a cute drawing next to it(sounds kinda corney, like something you'd do when your young)

Yeah.

I don't think she really cares what she gets, as long as she has me. I mean gifts don't really matter, right? It's the thought that counts.

Im sure whatever you give her she will still enjoy it!!! my son picked me out gifts for mothers day and the first yr I got fake flowers and last yr he picked me out a plain black pen!! He ended up keeping the pen and lost it but it was still cute that he was all excited to get me something... I think if you really dont want to spend money and dont want to do the other idead then maybe pick some flowers and put them in a vase and write her a note with a card telling her how much she means to you..

Being a mother myself, honestly i would prefer my children saved their money and did things for me, like give me a day of pampering, make the dinner, do the housework , those sort of things, maybe you could do that,and if you really want to spend the ten dollars buy her her favourite chocolates or sweets.

I already spent my $10.. On a DVD my mom and I both wanted to watch. I think maybe we can watch it together on Mother's day, and I'll give her the card and her poem I'm working on.

that card is very cute, Bri! She will love it I am sure!

Beautiful card, Bri!

It comes from your own creativity and your own heart...she will love it.

Have fun watching the movie!

I don't do presents or cards for my mom anymore. She has everything she needs and doesn't want a bunch of sentimental brick-a-brac clogging up her house. However what I have found out is she loves it when I do special things for her instead. One year I waxed her car, another year I took her out to her favorite restaurant (which I hate and she rarely gets to go to), one year I painted a bedroom for her.

I find that she enjoys those much better than any present I've ever gotten her and she makes comments about it to anyone who will listen so I really KNOW she likes my 'gifts' then because mom doesn't do that often. lol

Maybe not fun for you, Bri - but yeah, is there a chore you could do that she would really appreciate being done? That would sure be a gift for me!

Definitely a drawing or painting - even if you aren't an "artist" it will mean more to her than anything store-bought with no thought behind it.

Or, maybe you could buy an inexpensive frame at a dollar store, and decorate it with her favorite colors, etc., and put "photo of your choice to come" in the space ...

Or make a collage to put in the frame of you, all your pets - those she loves most in the world, and if you are feeling creative, write a little poem to go with it ...

Whatever you give her, it will mean the most because it comes from you.

This is making me laugh because we were in Macy's and I saw a bracelet I really liked and I told my daughter that is what I am getting from you for mothers day, I bought it and handed it to her and said now hide it until then

One time I got coupons, I thought that was very thoughtful, I also really enjoy poems or things they write that are from the heart.

No matter what my kids give me, I love. I have everything I need so I always tell them not to get me anything. They never listen.

Bri, a nice card with a heartfelt message will mean the world to her. Or....doing someting nice for her will be great also and it won't cost anything. It is indeed the thought that counts.

Bri you are really good with photoshop so why not make a nice graphic and add a poem to it. Print it and frame it. I can be a sounding board for you and we can try to come up with a nice concept.

Or Again with photoshop make up a nice 8 x 10 graphic with small frames and put some pics of you as you hve grown up. And maybe add something like I would never have become the person I am without you.

Let me know if you want to bounce some things off me ok.

I dunno if this would work for your mom, but I went to the bookstore and found my mom a book and a nice bookmark for under $10.
