Johnny E Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 This is all new to me. My wife and I, as you all know, had a baby in January. So now I am trippin' trying to figure out what to get my wife for mothers day. She is a woman of very modest means, has a Masters in film, and never, EVER buys stuff for herself (unlike me and my jazz CD habit ). So I'm really stressed about getting her the right thing. She likes the same type of music I do, albeit not as veraciously, she uses a MAC G4 laptop, and writes poetry and likes to laugh. Any suggestions? Quote

BERIGAN Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 Get her a gift certificate to a day spa. And do what Ron said as well! Quote
Ed S Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 Did you ever see those nice hinged picture frames that sort of open like a book and have spots for several photos? Go through the photos of your wife and baby - pick the best, buy one of those frames and get to work. It's simple and will last the rest of her life. Quote
PHILLYQ Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 Give her a non-Milo day- let her go out or stay home and do whatever she wants, and you take care of the little guy all day.The day spa, etc. suggestions sound very good,too. Quote
maren Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 Those are ALL really good suggestions. If you think the day spa idea is a good one (and it sounds good to me, or half-day, or mudbathseaweedwrapsaltscrubmassage coupon or something similar -- or maybe there's something she'd like to go see? film, play?), you could make it extra-refreshing by being "proactive" and helping to make time for her to actually USE the coupon -- include your own "coupon" with available dates and times for her to go while you mind the baby (or arrange for someone else to if your gift is a date for the two of you) or plan to pick her up with dinner afterwards... Sounds like she doesn't put herself first, so it would be a real gift if you make sure it happens! Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 Tell her she's still beautiful! Quote
Big Al Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 Tell her she's still beautiful! Amen to that, and everything that's come before! However, since she has a degree in film and loves to laugh, I suggest you get her the Marx Bros. Paramount box! B-) I'm sure you'll.... er, I mean SHE'LL enjoy it immensely! Quote
nmorin Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 I dunno, my wife keeps asking for a pool cleaner. Oddly, we don't have a swimming pool. Quote
Alec Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 Whenever my mom gave my father a had time about Mother's Day he would say "I don't have to get you anything; you're not my mother!" Quote
Big Al Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 Whenever my mom gave my father a had time about Mother's Day he would say "I don't have to get you anything; you're not my mother!" Wow! I'd like to meet him. Where's he buried? Quote
Ed S Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 Tell her she's still beautiful! I'd recommend leaving out the word "still" Quote
Alexander Posted May 6, 2005 Report Posted May 6, 2005 I'm not gonna say what I got my wife for her first mother's day, but suffice to say it was intended to remind her that I don't have one of those "ewwww...you're somebody's mother now" complexes. Quote
