 |
|
| My dad introduced me to his fiancee back in October. So I have only known her for about 6 months, but we have become pretty close, like i've known her forever. She isn't officially my step-mom yet but she will be in August.I need some ideas of what to get her for Mother's Day. I dont have much money so it can't be something too big.I also need ideas for my grandmother. Whenever I ask my grandmother she tells me she doesnt need anything, but it's Mother's Day and I want to get her something. I already got my mom's gift =)Also.. im 19 so I need gift ideas that are appropriate for a 19 year old to give.. Last time I asked this question I got answers like draw her a card or pick her flowers lolAww, im sorry to hear that about your daughters? I wish you the best and hope that your Mother's Day isn't too bad |

| This is cute and cheap. If you want to go even cheaper, make it yourself. That way it costs less, but it means more because you can add personal touches:http://www.amazon.com/Stepmom-touching-double-matted-burgundy-Mothers/dp/B000NVRV3K |

| I dont have actual suggestions. But do something you can see there was thought put into it. Especially for grandma, make her a collage of pictures of the family in different ages of development or something that shows her love, and thought. It just takes time and not a lot of money. A large picture frame and ask your mom or whomever to help with collecting pictures and have them copied or use them if you can less expense if you can use them. As for your soon to be step mom, if you do get along well together then get her something that says that. You have friends what do you get your friends? She isnt your mom, so it wont be the same but it can be simplier to your friends even if your friends are younger than her. Just update the idea to meet her age. Like music if you would buy a friend a cd just give your step mom different music. It wont cost much to simply say I care. Thats what mothers day is all about. Me I am dreading mothers day cause my daughters both hate me, and I have been praying I could die (really) before it gets here. |

| Yahoo has a page of gift ideas for Moms, tops on the list are earrings or necklaces, just a token of jewelry which will be something she can wear and remember the day, and those who gave it to her. |

| How about a Happiness necklace (http://www.greatmothersdaygiftideas.com/happiness_necklace/)? Not too expensive...doesn't say anything about "mom" or "stepmom", but it's a nice sentiment. |

| Anything you'd get for a bio mom works for a step-mom, too, but since you this is the first year, it would be really sweet if you bought a nice blank card and wrote out how much you like her and look forward to your expanding family, etcetera. And for the gift? just think about something you know she likes. My stepmom loves dragonflies, so one year I got her a little stained glass dragonfly reading lamp.For you grandmother, again, go for something she'd enjoy over 'needs'. Does she like crosswords? Gardening? Pugs? A book you think she'd enjoy is always a good idea if you get stuck. This is harder to answer, though, because some grandmothers are only in their 60s and some are 80+, so account for how active she is. |

| You know I see this a lot. You should definitely wait until this lady is officially your stepmother. Your biological mother might be hurt if you give your Dad's fiancee a present now, but she will understand once she is your offical step- mother. You know it's possible your Dad might break up with her before the wedding, etc.Your grandmother I'm sure would appreciate a gift. And you can get "grown-up" ideas from my websites at http://www.xomba.com/user/wagen_load_productions |

| 1. Jason Castro is by far the best on the show! [;2. Most Moms and Stepmoms enjoy the simple, handmade crafts their kids/ stepchildren get or make.-Make reservations at her favorite restaurant-Make a sweet card, or handwritten poem-Breakfast in bed-Pick flowers and put them in a homemade bouquet -Be creative! Using your prior knowledge of her favorite things, design a day of fun for her.[: |

| let me offer a suggestion: chocolate! ILRF will send your mother a bar of the finest Fair Trade chocolate along with a greeting card from the Fairness in Flowers campaign, explaining how a donation was made to support workers who cut flowers in South America. A card and a bar of chocolate are given to anyone who buys three raffle tickets. place your order by this Monday at 11am, before the raffle closes and the drawing is held. Visit http://www.unionvoice.org/laborrights/ev...On the right hand side, in the box that asks "Will you support flower workers this May?" choose "Yes" and press "Buy Raffle Ticket". On the next page, under '3 Tickets' select 'Quantity:1' and press next. On the next page in fields 1 and 2, put your name and in fields 3-9 put your mom's info and proceed from there.You could of course go it alone, and buy a card and chocolate yourself but try thinking of it this way: $5 for a greeting card, $5 for a chocolate bar, $5 for postage - that's a $15 dollar value right there. Plus, there is the added convenience of having ILRF take care of all this so you don't have to. And don't forget that this gives you 3 chances to win one of four bouquets of fresh roses delivered anywhere in the U.S. And most important of all, you are helping the workers who grow America's flowers.Why is this important and why now in particular? Here's a few reasons: first of all, the United States imports almost 80% of its flowers, with a majority of these coming from Colombia. In Colombia, 100,000 workers grow, harvest, and package the flowers, often facing difficult and unsafe conditions. Two-thirds of these workers suffer from health conditions because of the use of pesticides and other chemicals. Their hardship is more than chemicals however. Many workers have been sexually harassed or assaulted (65% of the workers are women). Additionally, during peak seasons (such as around Mother's Day), workers will sometimes put in 15 hour days. 15 hours of manual labor in terrible conditions and, for many women, additional time spent taking care of their families, leaves little time for sleep and workers suffer from exhaustion. So when you make a contribution to a campaign to improve the working conditions on these plantations, you can be assured it is money well given.*To summarize:*- Spend $30 on this years Mother's Day gift- It goes to a good cause- Your mom gets chocolate and a card (and maybe even flowers)- Last chance! Place order this weekend!And thanks very much to those of you who have made donations to the campaign. We really appreciate your support and best of luck in the drawing! |
