Gifting ideas, anyone?

A bunch of flowers? – She will like it, but naah, I think something nicer.

A book? – I just got her something interesting to read last month

Clothes? - That’s something she always seems to love :)


These are my thoughts, one day before Mother’s day.


I thought about sending her flowers as a surprise, but for some reason I did not want to send something which would wilt with time. Then that would land me a card, in fact I love cards. I have cards which were sent to me over 15 years back. That is something I would send anyways, but what about the gift that I want to buy?

I want to buy a mother-daughter or a family photo frame and get a recent picture and send it across. Or maybe I should wrap it in a nice kurta which she might like. That would be I guess perfect in her eyes :)

I choked up when I read this one, and offered a silent prayer for giving me the most perfect mom for me. Any question, and I ask her. Any confusion, and I talk to her. I am so grateful.

So now I shall start on that, and till I get done, if you have any other ideas, do drop a comment.

  1. Did you send the gift? If not how about an old picture of your mom and you. Very old..may be when you were in school or doing some goofy stuff. You can put it in a perfect frame and send it.

  9. So now I am ready with my gifts!

    I got her a book " The memory keeper's daughter". She was saying she didn't have too many books to read.

    I also am making her a tapestry (final stages) which reads " HUG THE COOK".

    I am planning to give her all this over the weekend :)

  10. I forgot to say... the photo did not work out as the printer said it would not be done in 2-3 days.. and he would be able to give it only after the weekend.

    I did not want to give her the tapestry now, wanted to get it framed and all.. but now giving it anyways.

    So, Kurta, book and tapestry.
