  1. Hmmm its hard since you can't drive...maybe give her a card and on the inside write...Free ________ like....free massage.  Then you make it like a little coupon i did that one year my mom loved it.


  2. Any mother would be delighted with all of your plans. Be sure to tell her how much you appreciate her and are glad she is your mom. (She'll be all teary eyed, believe me!) Then tell her you will do a certain chore for her for a period of time. You DON'T  have to spend a lot of money to make her happy.

  3. Go to any clothing/accessories store and I guess you can buy her a pair of earrings or a necklace for her. Buy her some flowers...unless she's allergic to pollen.

  4. This already sounds lovely, and i think you've done plenty! But here are some more ideas:

    1. Breakfast in bed.

    2. Flowers [even if they are from your garden!]

    3. Homemade voucher/coupon for you to get her 100 cups of tea/coffee

    4. Clean the house and put balloons everywhere.

    Hope it helps. Good luck &happy birthday to her.

  5. the only thing i recommend is letting her know you love her for who she is that is the only thing i don't see on you're list

  6. what you already have is wonderful maybe you could take her to have a picnic or something do something she really enjoys

  7. Give her a "coupon" type thing for a manicure meaning you giver her a manicure or a massage or to do stuff around the house that she usually does.  It thoughtful and cheap.

  8. one year i made my own picture album with pics of all of our family (my mom and 2 brothers) i made it myself she really liked it ... or if you wanted to you could make it just of you and your mom...

    good luck  

  9. hang around with her and watch a movie, or go look around at the mall, spend the day with her, do some light chores for her, and make sure to give her lots of love on her special day..

    i have always had luck washing my moms car to make her happy...


  10. Maybe you could make a really nice slideshow, of a bunch of pictures from when you were younger.. up till now.

    Put in some thoughtful caring words and it would be perfect. :)

    Stuff like that always gets moms a little teary eyed. Make it a slideshow that she wont forget. Tell her how much a great mom she really is!

    Hope that helped,i wish your mom a happy birthday:)

  11. make her a shirt. for my moms 40th birthday me and my sister mad eshirts and wore them. Mine had a biig 4 and hers had a big 0 and on the back of ours it said happy  birthday, the happy was on mine and the birthday was on hers.

    we just used regualr acrilic paint

  12. give her a day of relaxation. like, save up some money and take her to a spa. or if you dont think you can save up the money, then give her a mani-pedi, wash her hair, give her a massage, etc. my mom loves to relax. so try that. you could probably get some cheap bath salts at like, the dollar store. and shed probably also like breakfast in bed.  

  13. 1. Try throwing a surprise party for her?

    Have her friends from work and family over.



    2. Take her somewhere so you and her

    can have a little fun.Like getting your nails

    and/or hair done.

    Combine these two things and to be this would

    be a very nice birthday.


  14. since you got cake done make sure your the first one up, light the candles on the cake and wake her up with a nice happy birthday song, make sure she blows out the candles to make her wish,

    my family tradition and its always made a smile on my face

    goodluck, remeber to tell her you love her

  15. you could buy her jewerly and if you have no money make her something creative or cute moms love homemade gifts

    or

    you could plan a special night like mother daughter bonding moms love that kinda stuff like rent her fav movie get popcorn and her fav treats and snacks have fun spending the day or night together.

    or

    you could like clean the whole house for her shed love that

  16. Make a romantic dinner for your parents. If you show them both how much it means to you that they get along, then maybe your dad will wake up.

    Even if someone else gives you an answer you like better. Still try to do this.

  17. clean the whole house!

    vacumm, do dishes, sweep and wash floors, dust

    and tell her you love her. and how much she means to you.

  18. Aw...you are very sweet for caring about your mom. I would love to help you out.

    1. Make a cake

    2. get dinner done

    3. make a card

    4. Make her a coupon book

    5. Spend the day together

    6. Maybe throw her a surprise party with her friends

    7. Girls day out

    Hope I helped!

  19. That's plenty! Your mom will appreciate that you've done that much. But if you insist on doing more, you can tidy up the house a little. I'm sure she'll appreciate that too. The thing is, moms like that you show you care more than they like materialistic gifts. She's lucky to have a daughter like you!

  20. some things that i have done are made lik a picture collage and framed it. you could write a poem and put it on the back or just give it to her. also if you do a chore you dont normally do, like if your room is usually a mess or the flower garden needs weeded then do it for her without her asking just to show you appreciate her.

  21. make all the food homemade, it makes it seem like its more thought full, help her throughout the day, do everything she asks, be nice, and give her breakfast in bed

  22. here is a party idea website:

    http://www.adultpartyideas.com/

    i luv my mom and what i did one day was i drew her a hot bath (actually a detoxicafing bath) and then i washed the kitchen i would love to make her a special tea and i would also luv to give her a dinner with her friends

  23. A GIANT HUG

    it's free!

    A note expressing how much she means to you.

    Hand pick some flowers.

    show her shes apppreciated.

    Let her watch what shes wants on t.v...

    And don't even let her lift a finger.

    It's her day off.


  24. Flowers are a nice way to celebrate her birthday. You could make a scrapbook of pictures of your family, or maybe a video scrapbook. You could write a poem for her, or a draw a portrait or something like that. Get a movie that she really likes and watch it together. I'm sure whatever you do that she will love it!

  25. i would get her a pair of earings. you don't even got to buy them you can make them or give her a pair of your that you don't use. then buy her a cheap(BUT CUTE) dress. then just make her something! parents always like something that you make youself. like a card or if you are a sewwer make her an outfit best of luck!! xoxo

  26. um...thinking....still thinking....how about make coupons. like a coupon to do the dishes, sweep, make dinner, laundry, etc. when she wants you to do something she can use the coupon and you will HAVE to do it.  

  27. Remember, it is the thought that counts.  You could try decorating the house with streamers, balloons, flowers, and candles.  Be inventive, anything your mom likes, find a way to incorporate it!  Hey, if you have a mirror, write "Happy Birthday Mom" on it with lipstick (be careful, and use cheap lipstick though because this ruins the lipstick tip!).  The message will come off easily with windex and paper towels.  Clean the house, that is cheap, and I am sure will mean a lot to your mom!  You could create like a coupon book, ie. coupons for doing the dishes, laundry, cleaning the house, weeding the garden, taking the trash out, ect.  thinks that you know your mom doesn't really like to do.  I hope this helps!! --Mannus

  28. I think it's great you are getting so many answers and ideas.  If you have any money at all to spend, or any way to get to a store or get your dad to drive you, you could buy her something sweet to wrap up.   It wouldn't have to be big or expensive, but everyone likes to have a gift to open up.  Maybe a journal and a nice pen, or a photo frame with a picture of the two of you.  You could get her a cute necklace or a jewelry box, or a cd of her favorite music.  

    You could set up a movie night for her with popcorn and her favorite dvd, or buy a bag of balloons to decorate the house and make it feel festive.


  29. These are my ideas (they work!):

    -Scrub down the whole house. Dust what never gets dusted, vacuum where no one dare go, make your place spotless. All moms appreciate this.

    - Make her a scrap book of pictures of the two of you, write down the funny little inside jokes and memories you both have.

    - buy her flowers (you can get nice ones for not a lot of money, hey you could even go pick some)

    - when you make dinner put out a nice table cloth, light candles, use the nice china. It will make it more special.

    I hope it helps.

    You could also thing about signing you both up for a yoga/ art/ jazzercise/ pottery class so you can have fun together and your mom could meet new people.

    I hope it helped.  

  30. put together a mock paper.

    Call it the (your last name) Times

    you can have a front page with a large headline

    "(your mom's first name) celebrates another spectacular year!"

    Then write a human interest story about her and how much she is appreciated in everything she does. Tell of some of the funny moments you remember and site some of her accomplishments. Then have a page that is sort of like grocery store coupons. But your coupons will be things like FREE dishwashing or FREE clothes washing stuff that you can do around the house to help your mom. Then you can have a full page advertisement that has HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! signed with your name.

    :)

  31. breakfast in bed

    maybe invite some of her friends over



    ask your dad for some money [ you don't have to tell him what it's for b/c he acts like he doesn't care]

    then you can buy her a shirt or dress etc.

    or for something less expensive you can buy her a CD, or rent movies.

    & most importantly LOVE

    I'm sure she'll appreciate you doing whatever you do :]
