Planning on getting two bouquets of flowers, planning on getting them from Trader Joes.
If I buy them today (Friday) will they last until Sunday?
Will they still look fresh and beautiful?

Yes you can get them today. Keep them in a cool place, trim the ends and give them fresh water.

This year is my mothers first year as a grandmother and I wanted to get her a Mothers Day gift from me and my son, any suggestions? Thanks so much
a necklace with your birthstone and the baby’s birthstone

any mother and child jewelry would be good

a silver picture frame with a pic of her holding the baby engraved with The World’s Most Loving Grandmother

Put your feelings about her down on paper, include the ones about her as a grandmother, then frame it and give it to her

One of those plaster of paris sets for the baby to imprint a hand and a foot, but do just the hand and on the other one scratch in "i love you, grandma"

Maybe say in the card I know he would have wanted you to have these, to let you know how
great of a mom you are to his (daughter’s name). I have no interest
for her at all. I just love my buddy and know he would have sent her flowers.

What a sweet, thoughtful, considerate human being you are. I’m sorry for your loss. She and her daughter are lucky to have you in their lives.

I mean, isn’t enough for you Saint Valentine’s, anniversaries, your birthday, etc?????? do you also want a gift from your husband for mother’s day? that’s pathetic, you didn’t give birth to your husband, so why do you expect flowers and gifts for mothers’ day? I mean, I don’t expect my wife to get me anything for father’s day, I’m not her dad, she’s supposed to spend father’s day with her dad just as husbands are supposed to spend mother’s day with their moms.

I take it you don’t have kids with her??

I obviously procrastinated until the last second to get my mom something for Mothers Day. Considering that it’s 11 o’clock right now what is a good idea for a Mothers Day present that would be available at this hour? Also she usually just wants me to draw something for her but I’m dry on ideas right now. Any ideas?

I waited until the last minute to buy her something so I was going to buy flowers today (mothers day)
There are tons of flower shops around here, do you think I’d be able to find some the day of Mothers Day?

Haha yeah flowers do run out especially on mothers day, I’ve seen it so myself lol they practically sell like hot cakes, since they are the ideal gift for mothers (:.. but you know they are flowers & not hot cakes ;P

I need a beautiful song to sing. Its for my mom so i want it to be special. i’ll be singing it on Mothers Day.

Josh Turner- Me and God

Randy Travis- Shout To The Lord

if your a girl:

Shania Twain- God Bless The Child

So I have no idea what to give her I’m a teen that ix broke so I dont have a unlimited budget. I was going o buy her a cup cake from this place that their supposedly really good but I think that’s a horrible gift I need ideas!

don’t go alone to do this, there is so much danger today. Get a plastic shopping bag and head out on a bike or on foot. It helps if you don’t live downtown. Pick a few of every flower you see. Before long you’ll have a bouquet that cost nothing but came from your heart. Place in a vase or empty glass with water. Add a wide ribbon.

Today i’m planning on buying flowers for my mom, but mother’s day is tomorrow.
How do I hid them from her, but keep them alive?

My plan is to buy them, and put them in a bag. I can’t put them in the fridge because my mom will probably look.

If I bring them home, leave them in my room, and put them in water for a day, will they stay "fresh" ?

or should I just ask a friend if I could put it in their fridge?

Here you go.
