How competitive should you get on Mother's Day Gifts, if you want to out spend everyone, how much and what

Question

A vacation, a new car, or maybe new condo, or maybe favored treatment in YOUR will should you predecease her? Any ideas?

Answer 1

jeez everyones a little harsh. they were just asking a question. and btw i dont think that u should b spending THAT much money...unless ur brother is bill gates. so get her something nice like.....a sirius radio....i dunno. its expensive (but not a condo) handy and useful.

Answer 2

I know you are being a troll with this question but in case you actually do have a heart...

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.

first of all ,do you think that it matters to a real mother how much a gift costs? second of all your mother gave you the best gift of all life and as far as i know cant put a price on that. so where does the out doing everybody else come from? cause if your "moms" is materialistic you might as well just hand her your credit cards and let her run them up so high that your great- great- great grandchildren will still be paying for that i want to outspend everyone else.my children still to this day give me gifts. i talking 24 and 21 years old. they will say what do you want mom and when i answer it doesn't matter or don't worry about it that is what i mean. they will bring me a marble that they found on the way to my house or some kind of container etc. my daughter will get a copy of her hand in the copy machine at the store .you will find that most of the time you can have all the thing in the world but if you don't have no one to share them with......i think one of the coolest things my kids do for me is they make me feel like they need me. now on the other hand if they was Rollin" like bill gates or Donald trump well everybody mother would be get tin' a store bought gift.

Competitive? Gifts aren't about competition or outdoing other givers. Gifts are about expressing your love and appreciation for the receiver, and/or giving the receiver something he/she wants or needs.

Do you honestly think the bigger the gift, the more you love your mother--or the more she'll love you?

Get her something lovely that you can afford. Don't break the bank, and don't try to impress her in the wrong way, but don't be stingy, either.

Answer 5

out spending everyone else just shows your stupidty. all you should worry about is getting your mother/wife/gf something she will like and could use. not worrying about spending more money than everyone else. that just goes to show you didnt give the gift from your heart.
