How did you set this up? Just call a hotel, get a room booked in their name or are there gift certificates or what?

I'm not sure if that's what he did or not but at Shopper's they sell "getaway" gift certificates for weekends in Banff or spa days and stuff starting at $150 or so...

Got a question about these... could you hack the digital picture frame, and change the settings to accept AVI or maybe play a slidshow but quick or a .gif... and be like a movie... like in Harry Potter... LOL!!!

I haven't seen harry potter, but you can buy these picture frames that play video, no hacking needed.

[Kritafo]

they have good gift certificates in Costco as well, dinner theatre stuff, ski packages, spa packages.

don't get perfume unless you know what her favourite is
Avoid clothing unless you know her size and know that she really wants it.

I asked for a photo book of the kids favourites, they also scanned in artwork to be uploaded special with their own messages etc. I haven't seen the final product but it's the one thing I am looking forward to the most.

PS I am a mom.

[Vagabond142]

I'm getting my mom a huge hug :P It's free, it's from the heart and it works :thumbsup:

For actual material goods, just getting her some things on her list ;)

[pf0sh0]

I got my mom ballroom dancing lessons, well I guess my mom & dad.

[Atriux]

I'm thinking of getting her a laptop (being a student really does suck, but I had to work for it damnit...) because she likes to play this card game and watch vids. any suggestions for price range $200-500ish?

Good Luck finding your gift.

300ZX JDM Fairlady Tail Lamp Assembly (yes its for her 300 haha)

[pf0sh0]

Is Planet Earth DVD really that good?

[analbumcover]

hmm lots of different things in this thread, i still dont know what to get my mom, she has 3 younger kids 11, 9 and 7.. i know she needs a new cell, so i think ill buy her one, and maybe get her a gift certificate for a hotel and watch the kids for a weekend or something?

im not sure, she is a survivor of breast cancer and many other ailments, just recently had a very important surgery, got screwed by workers comp and had to return to work a month prior to her allotted date to make sure all the bills were paid and that the young ones would be getting the gifts on their list for christmas.

needless to say its been a tough year for her and i want to recognize her for the great single parent she is.

Thanks for the input guys, some of you have put a lot of effort into gifts for your moms and im sure they will be happy with anything you give them, even a hug means more around christmas!

Got my M&D a Margarita maker! Its the gift that keeps on giving!!
