Mother's Day ideas for Wife

[Lord Prism]

Hey,
Do ya'll mind sharing some ideas for Mother's Day? I'd like to do a little special thing for my wife. THANKS!

Run away with the kid(s) for a day and send her for a manicure/pedicure/facial, or you could go the dangerous route and buy her a new vacuum or garbage disposal.

be sure to let her know first, she could get the wrong idea.

Ya... she might lock the doors and start hunting for a date :p

more likely jumping up and down with joy screaming: "I'm free, I'm free".

Seriously, the pedicure/day spa thing is a good thing....my want to hook up with her best friend's husband and plan it together so the 2 can go and do what ever it is that women do together.

This depends on getting a weekend sitter.
Check out all the romantic/gourmet/spectacular scenery get-away places with in about 2 hours drive.
I'm sure there are a few nice country inns with special weekend rates, especially over the Mother's Day weekend.

edit :Leave Friday night and come back late on Sunday.
The kids can give her their presents on Friday evening before you two leave.

flowers and a dinner date usally goes good,
worked for me.

Ever thought outside the square, like a balloon ride over your home or something
Cheap, and easy to organise
Not sure if they'll be booked out though

I'm going to through my vauge 2c in.

In terms of girlfriends/wives/fiancees, suprises have always worked for me.

Plan something small and sweet with her (dinner date) and suprise her with something big and sweet (hotel reservations, grandparents are picking up the kids for the night, don't worry about it, etc)

For starters, if she works in an office have flowers delivered there. Women love to get them so the others can see them delivered. What you do after that is your choice. I once tried giving a new fishing pole and case of beer but ended up with them both for myself.

Lord Prism,

Just noticed you are in Durham....my wife loves Iatria (http://www.iatria.com/)..its a little hike (both are in N Raleigh) for you but might worth the trip

[Lord Prism]

Thanks for all the ideas!!

I like the Day Spa option, mbossman2 - I'll be looking into that; I'm sure she'd love it.
