What do you suppose we all get Ms. Cleo for her birthday and Mother's day?

flowers is a good gift also but any donation in her name to a worthy charity would be even a better gift!

A Mother's ring or bracelet is special--it is set with the birthstone of each child! As a mother, I'd LOVE one!\nThat said, does she like to cook? A good set of knives is a great gift, but pricey.\nDoes she have hobbies? Something for her hobby!\nTickets to a concert or show are great (even better if you go with her).\nCDs or DVDs?

although I am a mother, I also have a mother!  I will go and visit her and take her a plant and a card, give her a kiss and tell her thanks for being such a wonderful mom!  I just don't believe so much in all of these special days for things.  Why focus on one day.  My daughter is young and she tells me all the time what a great mother I am, or brings me cards that she made me, or makes me gifts.  What I really want for mothers day is to know that I'm loved all year round...not just on a certain day but for all the years to come. :)  We should never wait for a certain day to let someone so special know how much we love them.

I'm working early AM then I am having breakfast at my brother-in-law's and lunch/dinner with my kids and my mother. Mom and Mother-in-law are getting flowers and fine chocolates.\n\nSorry jojob, I'm sure your mother is watching over you. My mom is approaching 80 so I know our mothers days are limited here on earth. I'll be thinking about you ...Happy Mother's Day sweetie.

She got me Mother's Day stuff when she knew I'd gotten Nothing from my husband( we are newlywed's and I have an 11 year old- he doesn't see me as a mother since we have no children together). I love that chick, thank goodness for her! Someone almost died that Sunday.....

I'm not sure what exactly you should get her, maybe clothes or a gift card for clothes. But whatever you do, make sure nothing bears a Fourth of July theme at all. No stars and stripes on her wrapping paper, or anything. People who have birthdays on holidays tend to be a little bitter about that kind of thing.

Yes.  And tell her Happy Birthday too.

two suggestions a family portrait and a mother's ring or bracelet.

Something consumable; something that's used up.  (No, I'm not thinking about a 12-pack of toilet paper.)  Fancy chocolates?  Some wonderful smoked salmon from the Pacific Northwest?  \n\nGift certificates for something she likes to do.  Does she like to eat out?  Does she like to go out with "the girls"?  Does she like to go to movies at an art theatre?  How about a season pass?\n\nA framed photo of you, or of relatives.  Something you make for her.  Do you write poetry?  A framed photo of you, with one of your poems in the frame.\n\nDoes she know how to use the computer?  Does she want to learn?  Could you teach her?  Are you nearby?  A coupon book of "free coupons" for her to use to call you up and have you come over and teach her computer use, maybe?\n\n(My mom just turned 90 and about five years ago my sister had the "brilliant" idea that Mother needed to be able to get email.  Mother did not want to do this, at all, and fought it all the way.  She is SO glad, now, that she made the effort and is learning this.  She needs a lot of support from the younger family members, though, to keep the computer going: virus settings updated, resolving email problems, and on and on.)\n\nWhat does she like to do, or what did she do when she was young that she hasn't done in a while?  Photography?  Art?  How about a gift certificate to a local six-week class?  Rekindle her old interests.\n\nShe'd probably just enjoy spending time with her grandchild.  Ever think of just bringing over a tape recorder, video recorder, or whatever, and asking her questions about her life and writing them down?  You'll value the time you took, later, and she'll love spending the time with you.\n\nDoes she garden?  Does she enjoy looking at a beautiful garden?  Could you offer to help her plant her garden in the spring, or help plant fall bulbs?\n\nOnce I refused to join my siblings in buying my mom "more jewelry" and instead brought over bulbs and planted them.  Her birthday is in November.  The bulbs still pop up every spring and she always tells me "oh, the tulips are up, and are so pretty."  As people age, seeing the flowers in the spring, or having that to look forward to, can keep them motivated to make it through another winter.  \n\nThink about who she is, what she loves, what she enjoys, and what would make her life even more enjoyable.  My mom loves the farm, her garden and gardening, and her kids.  Learning the computer has enabled her to keep in touch much easier with her kids, grandkids, and now great-grandkids, and soon, great-great grandkids!

Have a potluck dinner...maybe people could make dishes that remind them of her, were her favorites or ones she was famous for.  Have lots of family pictures around everywhere, even blow up some of your favorites.  Have a cake with 100 candles.  Have everyone write about their favorite or special memories with your mom. Then have people change papers and read the stories out loud.  Have a slide show (using PowerPoint, home movies, digital camera, etc.) of your mom and family members.  Do some research on what was going on the world when she was a kid and teenage...play that kind of music.  And instead of gifts, ask people to make a donation to your mom's favorite church or charity or take up a collection as a family college fund (or other cause).  Have fun and God bless.

Here are some ideas...\n\nThrow her a Surprise Birthday Party She Will Never Forget!\n\nBath & Body Works ~ great selections, mix n match or gift baskets~\n\nMake her a CD of your Favorite Songs\n\nHand Make Her Something Special ~ maybe a beaded necklace or bracelet.  Or Paint her a picture, sculp something out of clay or something else showing your creativity & thoughtfulness.\n\nBurts Bees line of products is one of my personal favorites.
