What is the coolest mothers day gift you have ever recieved?

Trying to find a neat and different idea for Mom this year. She is retired, has everything she ever wanted, and no real hobbies except gardening, and I live several states away, so plants or trees are kinda out of the question.

What is the coolest mothers day gift you have ever recieved?
Having never received one as you can readily tell, I can only share stuff I thought my mom liked.





Stuff I got for her that I thought she would like often ended up stored away for posterity somewhere. The stuff that I saw she put in places she could see anytime were things where I put some "heart" into it.





Some examples are: souveniers I got for her while on trips abroad where she could see I was thinking about her even while I was busy with many other things. A small trophy for "world's best mom." A framed poem about how much I appreciated the things she taught me, and another one about the hard times in her life when she sacrificed so I could have, and another about "now I understand what she was trying to explain." And other things that let her know how much I appreciated and loved and thought about her a lot.





Maybe consider sending her your answer to the "hereafter" question with things about her too? Anyway, just my opinions.
Reply:I'm asking the same question.


It seems like no one's on tonight.


I think I'm going to do a balloon and put a picture and confetti in it.

Does anyone know of any plants/flowers called angela? If so where can you find it?

I am asking this on behalf of a friend who is looking for a gift for his partner

Does anyone know of any plants/flowers called angela? If so where can you find it?
Angela (HMusk x K) The cupped silvery pink, semi-double flowers carried in trusses continually and have fruity scent. Plant is vigorous and open with shiny lime-green foliage, which blend nicely with the flowers and has good shade tolerance; will benefit from good fertile soil for summer-long beauty. 5-7', Z-5, B

Will you accept my gift?

Note:Please read whichever you like, so please don't complain about the lentgh! It's optional!


Hi.I live in Iran and I'm 18.I've translated these Iranian pop songs by myself..This singer's albums were chosen as the best pop music for the best and the most meaningful lyrics and the best melody in the Europe.It's somehow similar to the "believe" album by Cher.If you like to listen to them just e-mail me and I'll send them to you in no time.Cos I'd sent them to 11 Americans and I don't need to attach them again.They all loved them.





First:(mahboobeye shab)


when the night steps in the gardens, the flowers cannot breathe


when the darkness rains (comes down) from the sky, the blooms become sad


when the darkness doesn't allow the flowers to breathe, the "love flower" stays awake at night


she (the love flower) doesn't allow the night to have any effects on her, her smell can be felt even at the other side of the gardens


if (someone) puts the love flower in a vase, and plants thistles all around her


(even) if (someone) walls up all around her body (existence), (even) if everyone accuses all of her fibers


(even with all these difficulties) the smell of the love flower makes its way to the beyond of all the stone walls


(and) the love flower, has a shelter in the heart of the blooms


at nights when the flowers are sitting in the darkness, and they all have closed their eyes because of the horrer of the night


(and) when their body trembles becuase of the fear of the darkness, you "lover flower" are the shelter for them





Second:(yaade man baash)


you left (me) and your memories have sat down in my mind


without you I'm the prisoner of the impossible wishes (ambitions)


you didn't keep me in your memory (you didn't think of me) but, I broke in the memory of you


I didn't fall in love with anyone but you, (because) you're far from me


sing with me and think of me, think of me (keep me in your memory) without any excuses


when the moon is awake, think of me with all your love


if you be (with me), it is possible to pass the (unfortunate) events


and) it is possible to learn how to burst into flames, in the fire of your love)


if you're away (from me), if you're not (with me), (at least) be the breath of my cry


till the end of the world, forever, keep me in your memory (think of me)





Third:(Tasavvor kon)


Imagine.Even if it is hard to imagine.a world where each person is truly fortunate!Imagine a world where money, race, and power have no place!a world where riot police is not the answer to the calls for unity!a world with no nuclear bombs, no artillery, and no bombardments!a world where no child will leave his legs on land mines!Everybody free, totally free! no one in pain, no pain!You wouldn't read in newspapers that whales committed suicide!Imagine a world with no hatred, no gunpowder,no cruelty of arrogant, no fear, no coffin!Imagine a world filled with smile and freedom!full of flowers and kisses! Filled with up-growing improvements!Imagine! Even if it is a crime to imagine so!even if you'd lay down your life on this!Imagine a world where prison does not exist in reality,where all wars of the world are included in ‘The Ceasefire Treaty'!!a world where nobody is ‘The Boss' of the world!people are all equal!Then each person will have an equal share in each single seed of wheat!No border, no boundaries – motherland would mean the entire world!imagine you could be the interpretation of this dream!





Forth:(Booseye Baad)(club mix)


The kiss of the autumnal wind whispers to the lonely leaf unmercifully that you'll be the victim of the autumn


The new green leaf loses its green color, it drowns in the kisses of the wind and the horror of the new days


It (the leaf) abandons the tree and wanders around in the alley (becomes homeless), an alley that is the reminder of the gone and futile days


It (the leaf) sits down in the corner of the alley, stares up at the sky, thinks of the past, and feels pity for it (with sadness)


(It thinks of) the days that the alley was under my body's shade, and the kind lover tree, loved the smell of my breath so much


My share of the wind's kiss, what can I say oh my gosh, was all getting yellow-colored and faded, and dying and being forgotten





Fifth:(Panjareh)


When at sunset, the rain hits the (window) glass


All the sadness in the world is in my chest


In the rain drops, my choked voice breaks (intrupts)


I don't want anything but a window anymore


I sit down behind this window and sing


I wait for your arrival under the rain


Under the rain, waiting for you is very different


Sounds like I love you more when it rains


Sometimes when you come, you put your head on my shoulder


You take all the sadness away from my heart


But this is only a dream, a dream behind the window (glass)


When I'm awake, sadness sits down in my throat again (I become sad again)


Sixth:


Defrost my frozen tears, open up your heart


Hear the voice of my heart, what have I done to your heart?


I wish in the last moment, you could read the love in my eyes


Your heart didn't hear my voice, you left (me) and stayed with a stranger


If someday I tell you this story that I've got used to you


My heart's lucked up in the prison of friendship, in your heart


If one night, I get to the truth, I'll become the lover God


(And) I'll say my secret to the star of the western sea





Seventh:


Hey actor, don't cry.We're all like each other


When we get up in the morning, we cover our face with a mask


Someone becomes a teacher and someone becomes a homeless


Someone becomes a song-writer, someone becomes a song-seller


The old life's mask is on our faces till night


The tears behind the mask are soundless as usual


Whoever you are, come out of the back of your mask


Don't talk about that fate, free yourself of the night's illusion


Draw the shape of an outlet on the cage's bars


For just once (in your life), breathe in place of yourself (It means don't pretend that you're someone else)


I wish it was possible for us to be ourselves (Not to disguise who we are) and that'd be enough


Even if it's as brief as a short glance or a breath


Until when (should we allow) our mask to talk in place of us?


Until when (staying) silence will be my roll in this show (life)


I want to sing this very song on the floor show so loudly


(I want to) tear my mask and cry out loud as if I'm myself (Not my mask)





Eightth:


The figure in the photo which is in the album is wet


I kissed your memory again, I've asked myself this unanswerable question thousands of times so far:


What makes the songs lifelike?


Its pulse is the throat of yesterday (It means my throat could produce a better voice in the past, so my songs were liflike)


I know that without you, my tomorrow will be the same grey color as yesterday's (grey color)


I'm thirsty like the sun and more landless than the wind, more immediate than the song, outspoken like a loud cry


I'm lonelier than silence, brighter than the star, I love more than ever, sing with me again


I open the eyelids of the window, there are murmers of the moon light in the lane


All the windows are silent, sounds like (everyone in) this deserted lane is asleep


I call out your name aloud noiselessly, my crying closes the window


Once again, the invisible hands of night closes the eyelids of my window








sorry, if it was too long.And also sorry for the gramatical mistakes.The rest of them are as beautiful as these, but I haven't translated them yet.

Will you accept my gift?
that is rubbish.

What's a good gift for mom?

Good lady. Not a lot of hobbies. Likes her plants, her grandchildren, reading. Any amazing books out there?

What's a good gift for mom?
maybe some nice stationary (even customized) so she can write letters to people and grandkids. noone ever writes letters anymore and sends them snail mail. they're so nice to receive and she might like the idea.

Reply:You should get your mom this book titled a "Message in a Bottle" by Christopher Sparks. He is a very good author he writes about life and romance. You should also get her a card. Get it blank and write something from your heart inside. It is the thoughtfulness that counts.
Reply:Get her a brand new swimming costume! She can take the grandchildren to the swimming baths in her new costume. The kids will miss swimming indoors in such miserable weather in December.

Caring for Bamboo Plants?

I have a 5 stalk Bamboo in water with rocks and keep it with plenty of water.My problem is that some of the leaves are turning yellow at the tips.What am I doing wrong!!! Please help.It was a gift.

Caring for Bamboo Plants?
Try this link.....
Reply:bammboo mainly need a planter, water and rock small ones


and here are some facts of bamboo


Bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants in the true grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Some of its members are giant bamboo, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world. Their accelerated growth rate (up to 3-4 feet/day (1.5-2.0 inches/hr)) is due to a unique rhizome system and is dependent on local soil and climate conditions.





They are of economic and high cultural significance in East Asia and South East Asia where they are used extensively in gardens, as a building material as well as a food source. In Filipino, they are known as kawayan, in Chinese as zhu (Chinese: ; pinyin: zhú), in Japanese as take (Kanji: 竹; Hiragana: take?), in Korean as dae or daenamu in Vietnamese as Tre /tʃe/, and in Indonesian as bambuu





There are 91 genera and about 1,000 species of bamboo. They are found in hot tropical regions. They occur across East Asia, from 50°N latitude in Sakhalin through to northern Australia, and west to India and the Himalaya. They also occur in sub-Saharan Africa, and in the Americas from the southeast of the United States[3] south to Argentina and Chile, there reaching their furthest south anywhere, at 47°S latitude. Major areas with no native bamboos include Europe, north Africa, western Asia, Canada, most of Australia, and Antarctica.


[edit] Mass flowering


Although some bamboos flower every year, most species flower infrequently. In fact, many bamboos only flower at intervals as long as 60 or 120 years. These taxa exhibit mass flowering (or gregarious flowering), with all plants in the population flowering simultaneously. The longest mass flowering interval known is 130 years, and is found in the species Phyllostachys bambusoides Sieb. %26amp; Zucc. In this species all plants of the same stock flower at the same time, regardless of differences in geographic locations or climatic conditions. The lack of environmental impact on the time of flowering indicates the presence of some sort of “alarm clock” in each cell of the plant which signals the diversion of all energy to flower production and the cease of vegetative growth. This mechanism, as well as the evolutionary cause behind it, is still largely a mystery.





One theory attempting to explain the evolution of this semelparous mass flowering is the predator satiation hypothesis. This theory argues that by fruiting at the same time a population increases the survival rate of their seeds by flooding the area with fruit so that even if predators eat their fill, there will still be seeds left over. The death of the adult clone, this hypothesis argues, is due to resource exhaustion, as it would be more effective for parent plants to devote all resources to creating a large seed crop than to hold back energy for their own regeneration.

What is good gift for transplant patient in hospital?

I imagine says they have to be so careful of germs that plants are not allowed in their rooms. Any suggestions?

What is good gift for transplant patient in hospital?
No flowers, plants, store bought candy, stuffed animals or cards please.





Fresh fruit, flowers, plants, or cut flowers are barred from the patient's room, as these can carry disease-causing molds and bacteria. Because of the fact that the patient will be immunosuppressed, even a small amount of a pathogen might cause a life threatening condition for him/ her. I met a lady at my transplant clinic who had a kidney as well as a liver transplant. She had contracted some infection from somewhere (in spite of being very careful) and had a fever for 2 months! So you need to be careful.





In fact, if you are genuinely concerned, do not even visit the patient. Persons with symptoms of any type of communicable infection should not provide care or visit. Even if you do not exhibit symptoms like fever or coughing, many a times our bodies are "carriers" to diseases, and this can be harmful to the patient.





There are a couple of things that you can do though.


1) Call the patient or his primary care giver as often as you can. Talk to the patient, in person before and on the phone after the transplant, encouraging him or her. Lend your support - a ride to or from the hospital for additional family members maybe. Family members of the patient need help and support too.


2) There is always e-mail. Write as much as you want. Send the patient e-cards. Chat on Yahoo messenger if you can.





I received my transplant last year and I did not go out of my home much for 3-4 months. I did receive beautiful flowers (from friends who had no idea) but sadly, had to dispose them off. Most of my friends talked to me over the phone and to my family members when I was in surgery. I did not receive any visitors for a long time, but it was wonderful to talk to everyone and contact people over the internet.





Good Luck to your friend!
Reply:Cards and balloons are always nice.
Reply:just a card and if allowed a plant or fresh flowers, it will brighten their day regardless
Reply:well, the best gift that you could really give this person is support and care. Just visting if you can, would probably be the best thing for them. Also, plants are really good...some kind of plant like a fern or something that can be good for filtering oxygen and such would be great, and a card couldn't hurt either.
Reply:A good book,a gift certificate,a box of candy,an offer to bring a favorite food, favorite magazines to name a few.
Reply:Flowers and a personal visit. Flowers promote a cheery atmosphere and require no care and go away in about a week. This is especially good for those who aren't yet able to care for themselves. Don't go cheap. If you can't afford a dozen roses, send 3 in a nice arrangement of more common and cheaper flowers. Just make sure to ask if the recipient has any allergies. If allergies present a problem or you really can't afford them, start a get well card writing campaign and have friends and family all send cards. Then visit and read them so the patient knows how much they are cared for.
Reply:Just the gift of life.


My wife had a liver transplant back in 1999, and she died in 2004. All she ever wanted was thoses extra years so we could be together.


I Love You Suzan!! RIP Hun.

I Need a Gift Suggestion for...?

I would like recommendations for my favorite garden center employee.She's great! She answer every question patiently and frankly,. I appreciate what she brings to the workplace. Of course, she has access to all types of plants and garden things so, I was wondering if you all would suggest something, please.


Thanks!

I Need a Gift Suggestion for...?
As a former garden center employee, I loved pretty scarves with flowers, tee shirts with garden themes and slogans, garden books, garden themed stationery, garden theme jewelry, unusual garden ornaments from places where I could never afford to shop. Garden theme aprons, a really good tool, an unusual flower pot. Lots of journals and interesting books about gardeners and gardening out there that would be good gifts.
Reply:Depends
Reply:When I give a gift to someone who i do not know personally, i give some wonderful food item: baked goods, cheeses, fancy olives, in an attractive, reusable container, are just some ideas. If you bake or cook, something home created is a lovely touch. You are truly lucky to have access to a employee like that. These days they are too rare.
Reply:How about a personalized garden apron with big pockets. Even though she could possibly buy one a the store it would be nice to have one that is personal from you. You can buy an apron almost anywhere, and either have it embroidered or perhaps get a heat transfer from the craft store. I received one as a gift and I love it and use it all the time.





Last year when a new nursery opened in my neighborhood, I went to go check out what they had. When I asked for a certain kind of plant that she did not carry. It gave me a great idea for a welcome to the neighborhood gift. I brought her a small blooming Hoya from my own collection with some cuttings from a few rarer ones that I have collected through the years. Hoyas are like potato chips, you can't ever have just one! She had never worked with them before and she was so excited and was glad that the locals were welcoming a new shop into the area.
Reply:An appreciation bonus. Unless you have other employees, I guess that would make them feel bad if you did not do the same for them.





But if you want to keep this gal, make sure you pay her well or someone will steal her from you.

Mothers Day Gift.?

I want to get my mom something for Mothers Day but I have no clue what to get her. She loves gardening but I don't know what plants she has or doesn't have. I was thinking of having a picture taken of me. One that is professionally done. But I don't know. I think it may be too late for that.


Does anyone have any ideas on what to get...or a place that can have my pic. done in like a day?


Thanks~

Mothers Day Gift.?
IF SHE LIKES GARDENING, AND YOU DONT KNOW WHAT KIND OF PLANT TO GET........THEN GET HER SOMETHING TO GO INTO IT.... LIKE A GARDEN KNOME, OR A BIRD BATH, OR FROG STATUE... SOMTHING TO THAT MATTER.
Reply:YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME. I HOPE SHE ENJOYS WHAT EVER YOU PLAN. Report It

Reply:Since she loves gardening, I would recommend getting her a complete gardening set. There are some available either at Sharper Image or Brookstone that are just awesome... They come with a nice pair of gloves, a complete set of tools, carrying case, and even a kneeling pad to keep your pants clean. I gave one to my mother 2 years ago, and she loves it!
Reply:I dont know where you live, but where I live we have this one hour professional photo place called blue kiss photo. I live in NC. Surely where ever you live has something like this. Necklace or





or rings are nice aswell GOOD LUCK
Reply:If your mom's a gardener, she probably likes seeing the fruits of her labor (no pun intended). You could create a collage showing photos of you from when you were young to the present time (to show how you've grown from a seed to a blossom). You can also frame a picture of the 2 of you together from when you were younger (or recently). Spending a day together doing whatever she'd like is a great gift. You could also get her some pretty gardening tools, a nice mat for kneeling, quality gardening gloves, a pretty straw hat, hand-painted pot, or a nice watering can. You could also write her a letter telling her what she means to you.
Reply:In my opinion, snapshots (good ones, that is) are better than professional portraits anyway, so why not have a pal take a picture of you in a natural setting... maybe your mom's flower garden??? And put it in a cool frame for her. Or better yet, find an old picture of you and your mom, and have it enlarged (you can have it done in a day at your local drug store, or even Wal-Mart). Then, frame it in something that reflects her personality. You could go to Hobby Lobby, or somewhere like that, and pick up a cute, garden themed frame...
Reply:the Picture People would have photos ready in an hour if that is what you want to do. You can buy a nice fram to put it in too. Since she likes gardening, what about a basket with gardening gloves, an apron, a few packets of seeds, a new spade, a fresh bouquet of flowers and a letter about how much she has meant to you growing up. Good luck!
Reply:Spend time with her, doing something she likes to do. That is the BEST gift you can give to any parent. It's what they would like the most, in most cases.
Reply:When you ask a question you have the ability to see others that have already been asked just like the you want to ask.
Reply:Get her gardening tools and gloves so she can plant what ever she whants.
Reply:Are you kidding? This is your mom. It doesn't HAVE to be something material. Start simple...take a piece of paper...write down how you feel about her...how important is she to you...Nooo! try harder...dig into your heart...if how you feel in the deepest part of you doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you're not there yet.





Now, buy a nice card and write a nice letter and put it in the card. It might be the best thing she's recieved on Mother's Day.





Good luck!
Reply:i think if you take her out for the day. a meal, theatre and take photos yourself. shell have pictures of you two together and be able to relate the day forever
Reply:I too love my flower garden but it doesn't matter what or how many plants I have, I LOVE getting more. Get her a patio pot or hanging pot of flowers. I'll bet she will be sooo pleased.
Reply:I personally think its always great to give Mums a personalized gift. You know, a photo of you on a homemade frame (i.e. made of beads, cardboard , etc.). Personalized gift is the best way to go, unlike frames you easily buy over the counter. Its the effort and the impression that you make that goes along with the gift that's what really matters. Even expensive gifts don't mean much.
Reply:it depends. if ur mom is a gud cook then u can gift her a cookery book. if she's a good reader buy a her any novel written be her fave author. if she ud eater then gift her dinner.


if she is a person who likes outings then u can try takin er to a green countryside place.


all the best!!
Reply: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.

Reply:How about taking your mom out to lunch (your treat) and then to get a manicure and facial together. Your mom would probably love a picture of you done professionally but I'm afraid you are correct that they wouldn't be able to do it in such short notice. Good luck to you and God Bless.

Which gift?

uuuug! I do not know what to get my dads girlfriend. She says she does not want any calenders. She loves cats and chocolate. But I just cant find the right thing .Oh yeah she likes plants to. What should I get her?

Which gift?
Plants are always good. Any garden center would have information on the right plant for her. Any place with a garden center would have nice plants(like most chain discount stores which are large enough). Christmas cactus's are nice. They also are easy to care for.


If she likes cats and has one buy her cat some toys. However, I would suggest you concentrate on her. What is your relationship with her like? I suppose it is good if you are buying something for her for Christmas.


It also depends on your budget. How much do you want to spend. Sometimes you can start cuttings from other plants, or if you know what kind of plants she likes how about getting her a pot, some peat pellets, and some seeds.
Reply:get her a gift card which has a Credit Card logo on it saves the problem and she can get what she wants
Reply:try finding out what she likes from ur dad.
Reply:if she has a cat then get her cat a cat toy
Reply:i go with chocolate but plants grow so i guess that's better i guess cats are expensive to you
Reply:Just get anything within ur budget. I'm sure she'll love it as much as u do.
Reply:go to the chocolate store and see if they have any chocolate cats or there is always just a nice plant

Bamboo plants care??

i got one as a gift %26amp;%26amp; i didnt really took care of it ...


%26amp;%26amp; it got all black %26amp;%26amp; nasty %26amp;%26amp; some leaves are yellow


..so i want to take care of it now i changed the water %26amp;%26amp; i cleaned them up my question is how do i take care of them any tips??

Bamboo plants care??
you don't have to change the water everyday. Every week or two is fine. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Make sure there is always water covering the roots. Thats about it, its the easiest plant to take care of.
Reply:You're talking about lucky bamboo right? it's a not like other bamboo





One of the reasons it has become popular is that it is so easy to grow. It does not require a great deal of sunlight. In fact you should keep it out of direct sunlight. It can be grown in water or in soil, and requires little care. Most often you will find it “planted” in a small pot filled with pebbles and water. Some people feel the water should be changed every week and others simply replenish the water as it evaporates. As long as the water is clean and clear, simply refilling the container will keep your lucky bamboo happy. Add a dilute fertilizer every now and then to give it a boost. If you have chlorinated or fluoridated water you can use spring, or distilled water to keep your plant healthy. Or simply leave your tap water exposed to the air overnight in a bowl to rid it of these chemicals
Reply:Its black and nasty? Maybe it could be dieing...Well you always change the water every day. And the plant should be in rocks, or stones.


Remove all dead or yellow leaves.

Gift for long-distance boyfriend help?

We're in a long-distance relationship but I still want to give him something [not too expensive] but really nice to show him I care a lot about him and that I love him and miss him. He loves music a lot. Which one do you think I should do?





1.) I created this little song for him.. maybe I can put it up youtube or something?





2.) Send a Christmas card... although that's just too simple?





3.) I so want to visit him but I don't have the money T__T. sob...





4.) Send a CD compiled with a couple weird rants videos and a little document of my life where I live?





5.) A band shirt...?





What should I do? Any suggestions?





PS. It's a given that we'll talk to each other and stuff...





Things to think about:


-Very up-to-date with the music world... basically has everything that has to do with music... so what if he has those music stuff already? [loves rock ie goo goo dolls, velvet revolver, meyer]





NoNos:


-flowers/plants


-food


-basically anything alive

Gift for long-distance boyfriend help?
I've been in a LDR for 4 years now. I once sent my bf a shirt that i thought would look great on him and before i wrapped it i put some of my body spray on it and sent it. He kept it put away and didnt' wear it until the smell went away, he absolutly loved it. So i would say get him number 5 and just add a little something that is you. My bf got me an MP3 player not like an ipod something reasonable and he recorded his voice on there and then put some music in there for me it was great i liked hearing his voice. I also gave hims a CD and decorated the cover with our pictures. So anything that comes from the heart will work. Email me if you have more questions
Reply:hmm, I'd go with 2 for sure unless he doesn't celebrate Christmas (though if he didn't I'm guessing you'd have mentioned that, lol)....but a blank one so you can write your own message. It just makes it feel that little bit more personal.





that's what my GF and myself did last year (she's in North America, I'm in New Zealand) and we also talked on the phone on Christmas day....it was very nice to hear each other instead of instant messaging all the time :)





apart from that, maybe a nice picture of the two of you in a small (about 4"x3" or so) frame?
Reply:A song - created from the bottom of your heart.
Reply:cheap hooker?
Reply:If you need a romantic gift idea~$50, these personalized soaps from soapcard.com might do the trick. They make romantic heart shaped soaps with your photo and personalized message embedded inside. I got one for my boyfriend and he loved it. You can write all kinds of funny stuff. My boyfriend thought it was super cute, .the "Think of me when you're feeling dirty" soap was the one he loved the most.
Reply:Maybe a small photo-album with just pictures of the two of you?


Or better - art picture from your photo.


A friend of mine took photo and sent it to http://www.photoartomation.com/ArtWork/p... They convert ordinary photo into wonderful!.


I treat it like art because it came from her heart.

What are some ideas for a homemade Mother's Day basket~besides a card & flowers, when mom is diabetic???

My mom is diabetic, and she really don't do much or really needs anything. I am clueless about what to get her for Mother's Day, but I was thinking about making her a homemade basket with some goodies in it... In the meantime I started a little project with my kids %26amp; nephews~~planting flower seeds and decorating the pots etc.. and a homemade card with pictures etc... What would be good to put inside the basket when the person you're giving it too don't need anything, is really not into anything- can't eat chocolate...Don't lit candles, don't do home spas etc... LOL- NO JOKE....She has almost everything...lol... Her house is like a store...lol... I need some ideas of what should I buy... I can buy perfumes because she never get tired of those, I would get her a bottle of wine- but she doesn't drink... I don't want to give her a gift card because that looks ridiculus and it'll mean more if I get something myself.... Any help would be appreaciated... Thanks...

What are some ideas for a homemade Mother's Day basket~besides a card %26amp; flowers, when mom is diabetic???
Buy some kind of platter, don't spend much since she has everything, a round pizza pan will do, and get a set of towels, in her favorite color, large bath, small bath, hand towel and wash cloth.


roll them up, large on on the bottom, smaller one in the middle, roll the small 2 up together, make it like a cake.


you can add things around it, or just decorations, one time i pinned little aplique bitterflies, wrapped it in tulle, it doesn't even cost much.


go here and look


http://www.thinkwedding.com/Art-Wedding_...





there are some ideas.if not can you get her an outfit, or go out with her.


your mom seems practical, like my mom, they are so hard, mu mother asked for filters for her ice maker in her fridge : )
Reply:You can get the kids to help make her some special diebetic cookies. Maybe some nice face wash and moisturizer (doesn't every woman need that?) Does she like coffee? You can get a nice BIG mug and some different flavours of coffees.
Reply:I was going to suggest candles and perfumed soaps and fancy bath salts..... maybe a nice CD. But i am wondering if maybe your mom is depressed. How about a book? Does she like to read? Happy Mother's Day!
Reply:ASDA
Reply:I saw something at a craft show that was cute...it was a bottle for wine (there was no wine in it, it was just a pretty bottle at this point LOL), and someone took colored lights and put in it. I am a mom, and I think that would make a great center piece.





Does she have any hobbies? I love to crochet so my sons (really their daddy since they are 9 and 7 LOL) know that a gift card to Hobby Lobby is always a safe bet. Last year they asked me what I wanted. I actually liked that because they cared enough to find out if there was anything I *really* wanted, you know? :)





What about going to somewhere like that teddy bear place and making her a teddy bear?
Reply:I had all the grandkids go to Michaels they had 40 percent off coupon this week and we did stepping stone mosaics for grammas outdoor garden or lawn.That way when they go to grammas they see the stones...it wont fit in basket.sorry!


Some kids did all stones and other did foot print or handprint.


what about some barcelet kits like from micheals she can make stone bracelets for grandkids...that would be fun for her and the kids.good luck!!

Mother in law blues?

I have been having trouble with my mommy in law and now hubby wants me to get a gift for mothers day.


I really want to make good with her so I wanted to make an pretty planter. I got the planter I just need to know what plants to put. I really want to make her day. Help please. As soom of you know she has breast cancer.

Mother in law blues?
My mom went thru breast cancer too. She ended up with a double mastectomy and she has been fine ever since. Just wanted you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel.





I'm not sure how to answer your question. I just want to tell you how awesome you are for doing that. I did read your other question and you are being a wonderful person to do this.





It is a lot to go thru and people have a tendency to do things that are out of character. Hang in there she will probably need you more than ever now. Don't forget about how your hubby is dealing with this too. Good Luck
Reply:If she has breast cancer and is undergoing treatment (chemo) I'd shy away from the flowers as the flowers may pose a threat to her frail health. Cancer patients undergoing therapy undoubtedly have a very compromised immune system and the pollen from the flowers may aggrevate any latent illness or allergies.





Instead, go with a silk flower arrangement or gift basket with her favorite movies instead.
Reply:Your hubby and you read like two peas in a pod ; ) Sorry to hear MIL is going thru a tuffy right now. This may cheer her up:





There are many things that can be grown in a container including a cut-and-come again garden of lettuce for the front porch or balcony. Your local garden center sells packets of seed that are mixed or seedling plants that include a variety of colors - very pretty, delicious, and health beneficial. What I mean by cut-and-come-again is that she should be able to get several cuttings from a container planting because once it's cut, it will grow back. In fact, you might make more of them while you are at it if your family enjoys fresh greens for salad...this makes a good gift for any occassion : )





If you decide to do that make sure the pot is clean and use good potting soil, the best is organic for vegetables purchased from your local store.

Reply:i would put in a Spider plant, and an Ivy, with a busy Lizzy as well all of these grow well and can be separated into their own pots when they have outgrown the planter, and its easy to do for her to. These plants can be grown in doors as well as being put out doors in soil. have sent links good luck

2nd part of my essay!?

all tiny things pointing to trust, and trust is honesty.


Honesty is also a flower, a magnificent, stunning purple flower. The meaning of honesty and the flower are both one in the same. You may not see this but when you really look deep in side the meaning of a flower and what they do for your life, it is miraculous. It is shown in statistics that a flower can improve your mental stability and your mood. The way the light bounces off a flower into your eyes and their elegant beauty enhances your spirit. In every culture flowers are an important part, look at Greek mythology for example; Iris was a very trustworthy goddess and delivered messages from the gods to the mortal world, and whenever a mortal died, in return for her faithfulness irises were planted next to their graves for her. Her honesty in everything she did led to her being trusted by the gods for their deepest secrets, could you imagine? And yet as a gift there were flowers.


Growing up honest can be very hard. You learn

Can anyone plz explain the meaning of this poetry written by Annie Louisa Walker.?

AND HOW DOES THIS POEM RELATE TO WOMEN IN 19TH CENTURY?( i'll realy apreciate it)





You cannot rob us of the rights we cherish,


Nor turn our thoughts away


From the bright picture of a "Woman's Mission"


Our hearts portray.





We claim to dwell, in quiet and seclusion,


Beneath the household roof,--


From the great world's harsh strife, and jarring voices,


To stand aloof;--





Not in a dreamy and inane abstraction


To sleep our life away,


But, gathering up the brightness of home sunshine,


To deck our way.





As humble plants by country hedgerows growing,


That treasure up the rain,


And yield in odours, ere the day's declining,


The gift again;





So let us, unobtrusive and unnoticed,


But happy none the less,


Be privileged to fill the air around us


With happiness;





To live, unknown beyond the cherished circle,


Which we can bless and aid;


To die, and not a heart that does not love us


Know where we're laid.

A woman or women are not going to give up their unalienable, god given rights, life, liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. They aren't going to change their minds about not listening to the hype of the world around her.

They just want peace and quiet to think about what is at hand, to continue to ignore everyone else, head held high, standing proudly. They are going to ponder about serious matters and then unleash their ideas, shocking everyone that didn't think they could do it. They just want a chance and they go for it, showing everyone who doubted them their true potential.

The day is ending, snu turning into moon. They want to be let alone again, to bask in their glory (Showing everyone they could do it ..blah...)
Reply:Verse one. No one can take away from us that which we feel deep inside of us as a woman. It is ours, it is private.





Verse two. Thought we are housewives with responsibilities to our families, we if we so wish, have the right to our own private world, our own private thoughts.





Verse three. Not in selfish thoughts, thinking only of ourselves. But to gather in our hearts the happiness that is called home, that which we have helped create.





Verse four. Just as the hedgerows receive the gift of rain, so we receive the gift of happiness which our families give us.





Verse five. We go about our homely duties, sometimes unnoticed by those we love, but are happy with our lot.





Verse six. We are missed mostly in the homes we help make, and it is those who will remember us the most when we are no longer there.





This is a beautiful poem, and should be dedicated to all of those loyal and devoted homemakers.





Hope this helps.
