This thread is relevant to my interests. I'm graduating from college saturday, so it would be pretty cool to get her something nice for Sunday. Any ideas?

Sort of in the same boat as you Brewski. No idea what to get my mom. Was maybe thinking of taking her for a flight but actually getting her to find time over the weekend will probably be almost impossible... And I also have to get something for my sister's birthday on Friday. So trying to find unique and thoughtful things is going to be tough...

An iPod. And if that falls out, me and my friend are planning on swapping moms for the day and getting down with them.

Should I do flowers, and then make an extra fake flower to put in the bouquet, and the fake flower be made from money? Cash seems un-thoughtful but seriously why take money that's good everywhere and make it only good at one place?

Because its thoughtful. And it's your mom. I guarantee your mother would rather have something thoughtful than $25 made into a fucking flower.

Flowers and a gift card then? Ha, or I could do flowers and take her for a flight with me at a later date... Would still be nice to give her a flight this weekend though.

My mom gets a card. My family quits gifts when you turn 18. Makes life easy and holidays are never stressful.

But I was stoked. My mom and I don't have the best relationship so I found a card that says, "Mom, what can I say? You gave me life. So really, you only have yourself to blame."

Bittersweet. I'm probably a bad daughter, but hey, at least I'm sending a card. That's serious progress.

No gifts, my mom isn't about that life, but I just got back from college and she missed me a lot so we're gonna head up to Yosemite and go for a hike.

Just having my whole family get together and eat brunch at my house will be the biggest gift my Mom could ask for. Shes having a shitty time going through chemo for the 2nd time in 2 years and having her 4 inch long hair start to fall out again after being bald/short haired for the past 2 years of her life.

So I'm just going to give her a giant hug that morning and tell her how much I love her and that she'll get through this chemo just like she did the first time. Oh and flowers ofc. Me and my brothers will all chip in and buy a really nice arrangement.

I'm gonna take her out for some sushi. I also got her an hour long massage, manicure, and pedicure package so she can go and have a nice relaxing afternoon sometime doing woman things (all boys in the family).

I wouldn't do the flight. Assuming you are in a 172, she will likely hate it. I dont know why but because 172s are so small it is likely she will think it is a deathtrap. And she will want to talk to you face to face rather than through a mic.

Source: my mom made my dad sell our 172s because they were too dangerous and too loud and uncomfortable

Last year, my brother, sister, and I all made "little kid" cards out of construction paper, macaroni, markers, crayons, glitter, etc. Backward block letters written left-handed, the whole shebang. We made her breakfast, gave her the cards, then took her to the zoo. For the rest of the day, we just hung out on the back deck by the pool, had drinks, and grilled burgers and hot dogs for dinner. She loved it. It's going to be pretty hard to top that this year haha. I don't even have any ideas yet.

This is good. My mom would definitely appreciate something like that from me.

I really like this. My mom works with me, and my dad, at a place full of guys, so something different then that atmosphere would probably be nice. And then I'll still probably do the flight. @Jake. Aha my mom loves flying. She's the only 1 of 4 from my immediate family who doesn't fly though. And she hasn't been up in a few years. So yeah, take her up, fly her over her farm house she grew up in, all that jazz.

Dark Chocolate and a Card. I kind of messed up the timing though, at this point if I mail/ship it tomorrow morning from Whistler it definitely won't be in Ottawa in time.....
