Hi all,
I thought it’d be fun to start a thread where we share the best Mother’s Day gifts we’ve ever given or received.
Could be funny, emotional, expensive, or totally free — just something that really stuck with you or your mom.
Let’s inspire each other! 
I gave flowers.
I give flowers and the cats give flowers and my hay fever peaks mid-May.
The best thing I’ve received thus far is a necklace in the form of a crab made by my son at school when he was around 6.
It’s one of my most treasured possessions.

i remember vividly one-- I booked and paid for a long weekend in a 5* hotel - spa (about 50 km from home) for her, I appeared friday at home, sent her to some errand, and meanwhile, I made a suitcase with her clothes/shoes/toiletry, etc) and loaded it on the car. I told her that we would go for lunch to the nice resto of the 5* hotel as a celebration. During lunch, I checked in for her, and asked the bellboy to undo the suitcase on her room. I was very close to just leave without telling her… but I thought that was too much. After the coffee, when I told her that I would be living and she would stay for 3 days… She was suppeeeerrrrr angry! wanted to cancel, made a scene… ‘la total’ as they say in French. Well… 3 days later, when I came back to pick her up… she had met some people there, was having a great time…and.she didn’t want to leave!
