I think it's a good idea. It's telling her how much you appreciate that she's such a good mother to your son. I think I would be pretty offended if my husband DIDN'T get me something. At least a card with some heartfelt thoughts in it, and flowers.

Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:
Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!
The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.
Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.
Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.
This is a really beautiful poem too!
Women have strengths that amaze us.
They carry children, they carry hardships, they carry burdens but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up for injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without new shoes so their children can have them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage. Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.

Mothers day is very important,especially to new Moms. Getting her a gift from your son is very sweet. I was looking forward to my first Mothers day,since it was something I could never celebrate before. My husband didn't even acknowledge the day. It hurt deeply. I asked him about it after the fact and his response was 'You aren't my mother".
Getting her a gift "from your son" shows that you appreciate everything she does for your family.

Traditionally when the children are too young to get or make the mother something the father of the children gets her something from them.. and if a man is particularly happy that she made him a father he gets her something from himself.. nothing what so ever wrong with that.
And remember.. fathers day is right around the corner.. ;-)

Yes, people do that all time. She doesn't have to be your mother. It is just showing appreciation for mothers in general. Like if your sister was a mother you could get her a present too.

Yes, your supposed to get her something if shes a mother.
Try making her a framed picture of your sons feet or hand prints, It would be from both of you that way.

Of course you should get her something! (Assuming she's the mother of your child, correct?) My sons are too little to make me things, but my husband always gets a card and some non-toxic paint (Crayola makes it) and dips their hand prints in it then stamps them on the inside of the card. It's their way of "signing" it, and I'll have the cards forever to remember how small they were at one point. :)

Buy or make her a card, and have your little guy 'sign' it.
[ put a pen or crayon in his fist, and guide his hand.] If he is old enough to scribble, let him do that on the blank part.
Also, buy her something she likes!
Do you think kids buy all those Mother's/Father's Day cards?
p.s. When my son was a year old, I traced his body on butcher paper, cut it out, and let him draw on it for Father's Day! I save all my homemade cards.

NO, my boyfriend got me something last year and I was not expecting it at all. It just shows how much you really appreciate her and her abilities as a mother. Its very nice of you to want to do something that you weren't initially apart of.
