A Conversation for Mother's Day Presents
Presents for Mummy
Conceited Little Megapuppy - Inbound traveller and Unas Matriarch Started conversation Mar 7, 2002
Maybe this is a bit of a cliché, but I actually ask my Mum what she wants. But then she usually replies 'I don't know' - drat, foiled again.
I can't get her chocolate because she's just lost loads of weight so it's the last thing she will want. I can't get her flowers because everyone else will be getting her those.
Fortunately, there is a very nice embroidery kit that she wants. She's ordered it from her embroidery catalogue and I am going to pay for it. Problem solved!
Most inspired Mother's day gift? An Audio Book version of 'Pride and Prejudice' back in 2000. We were due to fly out to China about four weeks after Mother's day. I know that 'Pride and Prejudice' is my Mum's favourite book, and that she almost never sleeps on a plane. Something nice to listen to during a long haul flight.
Unlike most Mother's Day presents I get (after much agonised private mental conversations of the 'will she like it?' 'Why should she? It's a power drill' sort), it was a completely inspired impulse buy. She loved it.

PS - 'him' should actually say 'her' as I am a girlie!

And I'm an eejit! Really sorry about this - I've fixed it now.
Thanks for telling me.
