Contest Giveaway - Win a LUSH Mother’s Day Box

Posted by MountainMama on April 30, 2008

Have you bought your mom a gift for Mother’s Day yet? (It’s Sunday, May 11, by the way.) If you haven’t, Traveling Mamas just might have you covered!

We’re giving away this super-cool, ultra-fabulous box of goodies from LUSH fresh handmade cosmetics. It’s the “Mum Gift Set” valued at $47.95 and filled with the following:

  • Comforter Bubble Bar Slice: Drop it in the bath for some fruity bubbles with a scent of cassis and cyprus oils.
  • Dream Cream: Amazingly silky body lotion that I’ve used all winter long to soothe my dry skin. I have peace of mind using it on my kids, too, since its made from all-natural ingredients — like all of the LUSH products.
  • Sakura Bath Bomb: Another bath product that fizzes and dissolves to release jasmine and orange-blossom scents.
  • Lily Savon Soap: Pretty flowery fragrance that has been making me smile in the shower all week.
  • Celestial Moisturizer: A very light cream for the face; my trial-size container has found a home in my travel toiletry bag. I’m thinking I need to buy a larger tub and make this my permanent facial moisturizer.
  • Each Peach (and Two’s a Pair) Massage Bar: My husband and I sampled this the other night. We really dig the LUSH massage bars: they’re easy to rub on each other for some insta-massage oil with less mess. However, this one was just too citrusy for us. We smelled like Lemon Pledge. That said, my skin felt silky smooth the next day.

How to win this fabulous prize? Just leave a comment telling us a) how you would spend your ideal Mother’s Day or b) how you plan to celebrate Mother’s Day with your mother or wife.

Leave your comments until 11:59 p.m. (EST), Monday, May 5. And I’ll draw a name randomly, and post the winner’s name on Tuesday morning, May 6. Giveaway open only to residents of the United States. Sorry, relatives of Traveling Mamas: you can’t enter either.

And if you haven’t entered our Tots on the Go giveaway, get on over there and leave a comment.

Good luck!

    NOT cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, watching stuff on TV I hate. Just reading and relaxing.

  2. Rosanne Murdock Says:

    My younger daughters live in Colorado, my oldest is in college in Boston, my mom lives in Texas and I live in California. So I would spend my ideal Mother’s day with all of them. Luckily My oldest is out of school and in Colorado so I am taking an extra day off work and cross my fingers that American Airlines/ America West will get me to Colorado so I will be able to spend Mother’s day with my girls.

  3. Karen M Says:

    I want to get up early, have my coffee then go out with my family for the day to anywhere. As long as I don’t have to cook or clean I will be a happy Mom.

  4. Marilyn Wons Says:

  11. Kelly Says:

    Brunch w/family, then nice bkie ride, followed by dinner out. Reading an a beach somewhere wouldn’t be bad either….

  12. Sara Says:

    I will be spending the day with my mother, my grandmother, and my 5 children. We start the day off with breakfast at grandma’s… then have a picnic lunch at the park… and end the day with dinner at my house. Every year we each pick a meal for the day… and we are in charge of one meal each. It works out great and we always have a wonderful time!!

  13. Lindsay L Says:

    I would love to sleep in past 9am, then have a nice breakfast with my family. The rest of the day I just want to spend with my boys.

  14. Louise Brouillette Says:

    In the garden, planting flowers and veggies!

  15. Shanna Kirk Says:

    On the beach, in the ocean, and anywhere else outside with my family.

  16. Katrina Says:

    I plan to spend this Mothers’ Day with my beautiful 2 1/2 year old daughter and our brand new, bouncing baby boy (less than 24 hrs old)!

  17. julie Says:

    We are having a good old fashioned tea party for my mom and includes all the kids (theirs is little pb&j with cocoa and marshmallows) we are have scones, tea sandwiches, and lots of tarts..yum….we never forget our hats!

  18. Nikki Says:

    This mother’s day is going to be a tough one for my mother. She just lost her mother on the 24th of April. She was extremely close to her so she’s been having major issues dealing with her death.

    My ideal mother’s day would be to get my mom out of the house & have a nice shopping spree & possibly a nice trip to the spa to help her relax and get her mind off of things for a while.

    Winning these goodies would be the icing on the cake. I really hope to spoil her.

  19. charline s Says:

    Just being together and having fun.

  20. Paige Says:

    I want to spend the day with my family hiking, playing miniature golf, or otherwise having fun together. Then I want to come home and have a few hours of alone time while someone else makes my favorite dinner - lasagne!

  21. Barbara Baker Says:

    Unfortunately I wont be doing anything for mother’s day. My husband will be working and we only have one car. My mother and sisters did away with me many years ago and my husbands wonderful mother past away 9 years ago…my husband still hurts (which I wouldnt blame him) because she was such a great woman. If anything we will be visiting her site for a few hours; maybe just sit around and read a book beside her. That always makes my husband a little better (and me too).

  22. taryn Says:

    Ideally I’d go on a nice nature walk with my husband & daughter and then visit with my mother & grandmother. Nice & easy.

  23. Dana Says:

    I had such a perfect Mother’s day last year, it would be pretty difficult to beat a spa day with a six year old followed by hiking in the mountains with the entire family! I suppose if I could add anything to it, it would be a bit more time in the morning to enjoy some coffee and conversation.

  24. jennifer russell Says:

    I’m giving my mom a spa retreat for mothers day!

  25. Jennifer Barnett Says:

    We will go out to a champagne brunch at a lovely local restaurant that is chef owned.

  26. Adrienne Gordon Says:

  28. susan varney Says:

    i’ve been promised breakfast in bed a relaxing day dinner at a local establishment and fun when the lights go out

  29. janeh Says:

    ideally, my mother and my daughters and I could all spend the day together….mainly enjoying each other’s company!

  30. deb coyle Says:

    My mom and I are having a “Pamper Day”. We’re going to go get manicures and pedicures. Then we’re going to have lunch at a nice restaurant and be waited on. We aren’t going to touch a pot or pan all day.

  31. Meredith Peters Says:

    I am spending this Mother’s Day recovering from a tummy tuck scheduled for 3 days prior-how appropriate!-and watching The Sopranos ,the 1st five years on DVD which I’ve never seen! and eating Chocolate! It’s all about ME this year!

  32. Sareda Hagenah Says:

    Well, the first thing I’m going to do is make her breakfast in bed. I’ve done this every year, since I was about five.
    Next, I usually do little things for her, like cleaning her house and such.
    Then me and my brother usually take her out to a spring-y restaurant. Like “Zinc” or “Rouge”.
    Anyway, She would really like this!

  33. Mary Says:

    A nice long hot bubble bath…. no cleaning or cooking and then calling my grandmother and stepmom and wishing them a Happy Mother’s Day.

  34. Janice J Says:

    My ideal Mothers Day would to be able to spend it with my husband and all of our kids, but we all live so far apart that is not possible this year.

  35. Vicki Wurgler Says:

    My Mother just recently entered a nursing home so I will travel to spend the day with her

  36. Trisha Says:

    My baby is due the week of Mother’s Day so I could possibly be spending the day in the delivery room - that would be a great mother’s day gift!

  37. Shannon Baas Says:

    Ideal would be taking my mom out for a nice dinner. However, I’m about 700 miles from her, so not likely thats going to happen so sending her some flowers

  38. Margaret Smith Says:

    Thanks for this giveaway. My ideal Mothers Day would be to spend a really nice family day doing something special, like the zoo, fishing or something like that.
    Thanks again and please enter me.

  39. jeanne Says:

    I would like to stay in bed a little later than usual and do absolutely nothing after getting up except greeting my 3 children when they arrive. That would be my perfect day.

  40. amira Says:

    We always make sure that my mom sleeps in on mothers day and we make her meals…she loves that compared to flowers!

  41. Dee Says:

    I am going to go out to my mother’s house after working a 12 hour night shift as a nurse and go to church with my family. I also gave my mom a coach bag for her birthday and mother’s day gift. She loved it! She loves LUSH just as much. She bought me lush products when I was sick in the hospital. I hope to return the favor!

    deeelama[at]gmail[dot]com

  42. Joanne Says:

    I plan on taking my mom out to lunch wherever she’d like to go!

  43. jen g. Says:

    Truly? My ideal mother’s day would be spent at a luxury spa all day and have the works done (facial, massage, manicure, pedicure, etc, etc, etc) WITHOUT my cell phone and my kids are safe and sound with hubby.

  44. Maggie Mannwieler Says:

    I hope to have all of my grandchildren with me for Mother’s Day! All girls, all adorable. The best Mother’s Day was the tea party I organized one year for my Mom and all of my sisters and sister-in-laws. I put out little finger sandwiches, three different teas, white tablecloths, the whole works. Afterwards we all drove to a tea house shoppe and purchased tea cups and saucers. And we purchased a tea pot for our Mom. We all wore fancy hats and gloves. It was great.

  45. Brian Says:

    Preparing my wife a hot bath filled with LUSH.

  46. christopher h Says:

    we’re all going out to a local restaurant for brunch

  47. Valerie Says:

    We will all be at a graduation and dinner. I’m happy my family will be together!

  48. hazel hunt Says:

    resting.

  49. Peter Says:

    Giving my Mom a full day of peace and quiet.

  50. Christina Irvin Says:

    I would like to win this for my mom

  51. Ann Babenco Says:

    I guess I’d like to spend a day in heaven with my Mom and find out how she likes it there and converse with her over all the things in life that she taught me. I’d tell her I wished I knew then what I know now…that she was right!

  52. Tina Says:

    I would fly me and my daughter to the state where my mom lives, we would have dinner at a Mexican restaurant and go shopping together.

  53. Johannah B Says:

    Likely mother’s day will be here with me cooking (which I love to do and do willingly) with my sons… but they do have their own lives, so maybe just hubby and me — and that’s fine too!!

  54. Don Schraier Says:

    I’m going to try to get my wife away somewhere. Getting her away from the computer is a huge problem. Your gift would make a nice addition.

  55. Aisling Says:

    All the kids are away from home, so phone calls will be (had better be) coming in. DH will “pamper” me by cooking breakfast and taking me out for dinner and letting me relax all day.

  56. Alicia Zemer Says:

    Mamacita.

  57. Cindi Says:

    Hello! Short of the African safari I want to go on someday to view the animals, Mother’s day is the way that I love it!
    My mother passed 8 years ago. My sister is ten years older than me. We are very close and she is my best friend. Her daughter has our family over to celebrate the special day! Andrea does all of the cooking and we exchange fun gifts. I would love to win this lovely gift set for my sister! She is the Godmother to both of my sons. Thanks for the chance to win. Cindi

  58. Kat Bryan Says:

    We’ll probably go out to dinner with my son and daughter-in-law and her parents. Then I’d like to check out a greenhouse to see what’s new this season.

  59. SelimaCat Says:

    I’d like breakfast out–there’s a nearby restaurant that has a Bloody Mary bar on Sundays–followed by a long bike ride with my husband and daughter. While she’s napping, I’d like to take a bubble bath and a nap myself, then go for a walk in the woods after she wakes up. Dinner would be in, as a family, despite her early bedtime, and we would get carryout Cajun food. Perfection.

  60. Pauline M Says:

    My mother loves to gamble, but living in Utah, we are severly restricted in the availability of casino’s - so every year, I take my mother to the bingo parlor so she can play. Mind you, this is not very fun for me, but she absolutely loves it, and, well, she totally deserves it.

  61. Cheryl English Says:

    I am going to the Circus with my mother. I am 48 years old, but at any age, the Circus is alot of fun. After the Circus, I will be taking my mother out for dinner. Thanks for the Mother’s Day giveaway.

  62. Carol Harrity Says:

  63. Shay Says:

    I usually spend mother’s day with my mother-in-law not what I would like, but what my husband wants.

  64. Lesha Says:

    My Mother’s Day will probably be simple yet nice. I’ll spend it at home with my son. I might go and rent a movie. :)

  65. Dana Says:

    My ideal mother’s day would start with the Sunday paper and breakfast in bed, followed by a long hot shower, and a day of scrapbooking in my craft room with an endless supply of chick flicks. Then maybe spend some time in the yard with my kids, planning our summer garden and planting some vegetable starts! Oh, and an endless supply of latte’s!

  66. rachel Says:

    I love lush!!

    My ideal mother’s day would involve lots of silence, followed by shopping with my best girlfriend, then dinner with my family, and then my mother in law would magically be here to babysit while me and my husband get to spend some time alone! Total fantasy though! lol.

    You should totally pick me(even though it’s random) because you’re choosing a winner on my birthday!

  67. Susan Chester Says:

    My ideal mothers day would be having nothing to do except enjoy my children and grandchildren. A nice relaxing brunch and some time at my home with them sounds wonderful.

  68. Ann Says:

    My mom lives in Belgium so we’ll not be spending mother’s day together. I’m spending my mother’s day with my family. My 3 kids are going to spoil me that day but I’m not allowed to know what’s going to happen. It’s top secret. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  69. amanda zeller Says:

    I would love to tske my mom to a day spa and pamper her. She has adopted two children from our family that had no one to take care of them so she really desirves it. Shes a great woman.

  70. Danielle Says:

    Ideally I would love to take my mom to the salon & we both have our hair & nails done (we both really need it) but it is just not possible this year. I will most likely have her over for lunch & some home made gifts from the kids.

  99. Lisa Fosses Says:

    some time with family and some time alone gardening

  112. Soha Molina Says:

  113. Scarlett Says:

    Hopefully I’ll be able to go home for Mothers’ Day, but I probably won’t. So the following weekend when I WILL be there, I plan to take my mother and sister (who became a mother nine days ago) out to dinner (I have lots of good memories of us in Mexican restaurants) and then we’ll watch both of the Ace Ventura movies, which we all found hilarious when I was, like, ten. I just remember the three of us laughing hysterically at them. My father didn’t watch them with us because he never found them funny, so it was just the three of us.

  114. Tina Rath Says:

    My daughter is doing it right for me. She has rented a beach house on the North Carolina shore and she and I will be toasting “motherhood” with bloody mary’s and then spending the rest of the day enjoying her daughters. Dad and Papa will do the cooking and babysitting!

  119. Emily N. Says:

    We will go out to eat somewhere with excellent food. No cleanup and a nice leisurely meal with time for a great dessert.

  120. Kirsten Says:

    I would spend it having my family over eating pizza and watching movies all day and eating strawberry fudge pie. Oh,yeah, that IS what I am doing.

  121. Angela Says:

    my ideal mothers day would be spent at a spa with a really attractive guy giving me a deep tissue massage!!

  122. Alison Says:

    I would want to do something fun as a family, maybe a picnic or just a long walk, but I’d also like a little bit of time to myself.

  123. Ashley Henley Says:

    i would love to do something to make my mom feel really special, like get her a great lush gift basket

  124. Carrie Cabral Says:

    Every year my husband and our daughters go to Soulard in St. Louis. We visit the Farmers Market and have lunch. Then we go down the street to the St. Louis Botanical Garden and spend a few hours there. On the way back to the car we stop off at Gringo Jones, an eclectic store in the neighborhood. Then, we hit the St. Louis Zoo. We’ve been doing it for years. If it rains, we go to the St. Louis Art and History Museums.

  125. Nora Scott-Platt Says:

    Well I will be working as some of us in the healthcare field need to be taking care of other people that are ill. So I do spend the day with several moms and their families. My own family gives me comfort and joy by hugging me and telling me they love me.

  126. Christina DeMarco Says:

    My ideal mother’s day would be the day off!

  127. Jasmin Says:

    A day off — no cooking, cleaning, laundry — just a day to do nothing!

    Soaking in a hot tub full of lavender bubbles, then having a nice relaxing brunch and a walk along the river with my dog.

  129. Sue Farrell Says:

    A perfect mother’s day would be 18 holes of golf with the hubby, a nice meal at the clubhouse, then home to a really good book in peace and quiet.

  130. Evelyn Says:

    I don’t need much. Good food, Good laughs and I don’t have to clean up afterwards.

  131. Tammy Says:

    My ideal Mother’s Day would be spent sitting on Deck 4, in the middle of the ocean, with a good book in hand, on the Disney Magic. That being said, I’ll take a trip to Cold Stone Creamery for an ice cream too! lol.

  132. Becca O Says:

    I always take my mom out for a meal or two on mother’s day and am just nice and helpful all day.

    My husband never buys me gifts no matter how many times I remind him.

  134. Karen Says:

  138. Michelle Berry Says:

    I am getting up early to make my mom a Mothers Day cake. Then she says we never spend quality time together so I am setting up the board games. She loves playing games. Then later I am ordering her favorite food (chinese) so she doesn’t have to cook. It will be a Happy and Laid Back Moms day here =)

  139. Summer Says:

    My ideal Mother’s Day would be a expense free shopping spree to all the great mommy stores followed by a fabulous weekend retreat to an island spa - with hubby and kids of course…

  140. Molly Capel Says:

    If I could plan out my mother’s day, I would get to sleep in, go out to breakfast with my mom, spend the day shopping at the thrift stores, and come home to a homecooked dinner with my family.

  141. anne Says:

    We would spend quality time together. The entire family just relaxing and taking it easy. An outdoor meal in the backyard patio.

  142. Jessica Applegate Says:

  143. Shelly Says:

    After struggling with infertility, I am grateful to have a Mother’s Day at all. Hopefully my husband has some plans!

  144. Michelle Rosborough Says:

    I plan on doing NOTHING for Mother’s Day.

  145. Dianna Murrah Says:

    I would like to stay in bed as late as I want. Then a leisurely bath…Then Mimosas & cresents. Then later go to Red Lobster…And hope I hear from my girls at some point during the day. They’ve rarely given me anything. AS long as I hear from them that makes my day complete.

  146. Shawna Woodward Says:

    Relaxing after a nice meal.

  147. judy folk Says:

    mother’s day family bbq where she is queen for a day; no work and opens all her mothers day gifts of gratitude for just being who she is; the best mom we will ever have

  148. Samantha Pruitt Says:

    probably let her sleep in late, and then take her out to a nice restaurant

  149. mannequin Says:

    I will be spending Mothers Day with my little boy. We traditionally go to a topiary garden nearby for the day. He’s grown to look forward to it!
    I will also gather flowers from my mothers yard and place on her grave. It’s all I can do.

  150. Jodene Says:

    Having my husband watch my daughter so I could have a couple hours “me” time.

  151. Candie Says:

    I want to spend mother’s day with the babies and just play with them all day.

  152. Tonya Froemel Says:

    My ideal mother’s day? Staying home with my family, eating breakfast in bed, watching great movies and spending time together.

  153. natalia Says:

    Inwould like to spend mothers day with my mother, but she is in PR, and this is the first time that i dont spend this day with her. But I will spend the day with my husband and my two precious babies in the house, because my 2 baby is only 3 weeks older.Ithink the best part is be all together.

  154. Mary M. Says:

    I’d like to spend the day with my daughers and my husband.

  155. Jana Stefanovich Says:

    I will spend my mothers day this year with my sisters and daughters talking about my mother. We lost her last year to cancer this is our first mothers day without our beautiful mother. It will be very comforting to remember her and honor her on this special day.

  156. Crystal Gleason Says:

    Yes, please. :)

  157. Sylvia Porter Says:

    watching tv and not doing anything, that sounds nice

  158. jan koontz Says:

    dinner with my mom

  159. Donna K Says:

    The six of us children will be taking mom golfing.

  160. Mississippi Mama Says:

    What a wonderful giveaway! I’m spending Mother’s Day with my mom and my MIL. And this is my first year as a mom! We’ll be traveling that day, so we’ll have a big meal with both families, and lots of time playing with our five-month-old!

  161. Danai Says:

    I’d love to spend the day at home, reading the paper, enjoying a late breakfast and then cooking on the grill later in the day.

  162. Emmy T Says:

    I hope my husband takes care of the kids all day, so I can read in bed till noon, eat junk, and watch movies all day!

  163. shannon m Says:

    I would love to just have an opportunity to stay in bed and read a book right after I take a shower and stay in there until the hot water runs out! I haven’t done that since before my son was born!

  164. Becky Grady Says:

    My ideal mothers day would be to spend it with my mother. Unfortunately, she lives 1,000 miles away. I’ll have to settle for sending her flowers and calling her. It will be nice to spend the day with my kids. We’ll probably go out to dinner.

  165. Heidi Says:

    Sleeping late and watching a movie with the kids

  166. Karin Says:

    Spending the day with my mom–but am not sure yet what the plans are… probably whatever she wants to do!

  167. Susan Says:

    I plan on spending the day with my kids, enjoying them, and loving the time with them. I also plan on remembering my mom, all she was to me and all she had done and, yes, missing her.

  168. 5 Minutes Around The Blogosphere - Week 32 Says:

    [...] Traveling Mamas - LUSH Mother’s Day Box (May 5th) [...]

  169. Michelle Says:

    I’d love for my kids and husband to take me out to a breakfast buffet that I’ve been coveting for years. Then I’d like a trip to the garden center and for all of them to help me with the spring yard clean-up.
    I dream big.

  170. Nicol Says:

    I would love to be able to sleep in past 7am, have a nice home cooked breakfast and spend the day at the spa. A day to myself.

  171. Fresh Girl Says:

    I’ll be spending Mother’s Day cooking for my mom, even baking her some cupcakes, and I’m excited to get to give her a book she’s been wanting! Would be nice to give her that box of Lush, too. ;)

  172. ariane Says:

    since my mom is out of the country, i would still give importance to mother’s day. i would send her a special mother’s day card so that in some ways, she would appreciate my effort and she would know that we loved her very much.

  173. Suzanne Bastien Says:

    How would I spend my “perfect” mothers day?

    - Breakfast in bed. (or at MiMi’s Cafe)
    - Manicure and Pedicure (with my girls)
    - Cards and chocolate
    - Hair appoinment (To hide my grey)
    - Lunch at Panera Bread
    - Dinner at Mataam Fez (Morrocan Rest. here in town)
    - A few drinks with friend at the Cork house.
    - Bed sheets washed, bed made and a hot bath with scented bubbles before sliding into my bed.

  174. Michelle Says:

    My ideal Mother’s Day would involve waking up to a perfectly clean and neat house. I would spend the day with my family, playing games, going for a hike, shopping, or curled up watching movies. I would love to not have to make any meals, but I wouldn’t have to go out…take-out would be just fine…anything, so long as I didn’t have to mess things up in the kitchen for that one day. I am pretty sure that Coke and good quality chocolate would have to figure into the equation somewhere. Though I am not one for gifts, if I had to choose something, it would be a new pair of fun pajamas or some decorative dish towels.

  175. Shaina P Says:

    My ideal Mother’s day, would involve NO diapers, and a relaxing afternoon of shopping with my own mom, who I miss. My gifts would include a year of free maid service, a weekend spa getaway with my hubby and PERFECTLY behaved children for a day. :) (I mean, while I’m dreaming here can I get a new Toyota Sienna, and personal trainer?)

  176. Paula Harmon Says:

    Well, my breakfast in bed should come on CLEAN dishes. Last year they used stuff out of the dishwasher that didn’t run yet. (I didn’t say anything!) and I would like to go back to sleep after I eat.

  177. pat yamada Says:

    No laundry; no dishes; no cooking.
    Dinner in or out, but made by someone else.
    Family together.

  178. Erica M Says:

    I’d love to be able to spend the whole day with my husband and son, exploring, shopping, and just hanging out together.

  179. misty Says:

    I’d like to spend the day with my mother, no cooking, cleaning, or anything, Just relaxing and talking and having a good time.

  180. Jo-Anne Madsen Says:

    My ideal mother’s day would be to spend it with my family (children and grandchildren) on a nice warm beach somewhere, totally relaxed and enjoying each other’s company.

  181. Elizabeth M. Says:

    My sister and I are taking my mom out for a Mother’s Day girls only lunch on Friday. On the actual Mother’s Day, I’m going to lunch with my own family and then seeing a movie. Then I’m going to scrapbook for the day!

  182. Elaine Says:

    I would spend time with my Mom and my kiddos and nice brunch would be lovely.

    Oh! and NO chores, absolutely NO chores…

    I am not sure what our plans are yet…

  183. Karen A. Says:

    All I want for mother’s day is a day that I can sleep in and have no housework to do. My body and my mind would just like one entire day to do absolutely nothing.

  184. Ed Nemmers Says:

    The flowers will be delivered to her work on Friday, dinner out at our favorite restaurant on Sunday.

  185. stacey moore Says:

    i would just like to sleep until i woke up!! thanks so much!!
    moore.g@insideconnect.net

  186. Lisa Says:

    I’d like to sleep in, then a slow trip to Borders while my husband watched the three year old. Then lunch out. Then a nap while the baby (3 weeks old) naps. A gift certificate to the fabric store or a clothing store would be great. Or jewelry.

  187. Amy Says:

    My ideal Mother’s Day would be to have all 3 of my children at home all at once, so we could celebrate the way we used to when they were younger. Sitting down to a meal together would be the best gift!

  188. Izzie Says:

    For Mother’s Day, I’m going to invite my Aunt (who is like my Mom) to my house for dinner. Then, we will look at old pictures in honor of my own Mom, who we lost in 2007.

  189. Patty Says:

    The perfect mother’s day would be one where I could spend the entire day with my family, instead of working to try and make ends meet.

  190. Michelle Simons Says:

    Take my mom out for dinner and to the casino.

  191. Shannon Says:

    My ideal mother’s day would be spent hiking w/my family.

  192. Christine E. Says:

    I am going on an overnight trip with my mom and sister and can’t wait.

  193. Nicki Says:

    I have no idea how I will spend Mother’s Day with my mom! We have a strained relationship. I know that on Saturday is my little cousin’s 4th birthday party, and usually that doubles as a Mother’s Day get-together, leaving the actual Mother’s Day Sunday empty and sufficiently awkward! I’m guessing my mom will spend the day as she normally does, I will give her a present and a hug, maybe we’ll go out to breakfast, and after that, it will just be a normal day. :(

  194. Alana Says:

    I would love to have a delicious breakfast with my 3 children under the age of 4 and my husband. Once my belly is nice and full, I would love to have a nice long nap.

  195. Mary Jenkins Says:

    This is my first mothers day as a mom! That’s good enough on my end of the celebration, but I want to take my mom to a book store and coffee shop. She loves books and coffee, but she has agoraphobia. My ideal day would be to get her out and have her actually enjoy it!

  196. Carina Says:

    Relaxing in a fabulous dream home on the coast of Scotland… I wish!

  197. nannabee Says:

  198. gina snow Says:

    my ideal day would be on vacation somewhere tropical,no housework, no cooking etc…

  199. lace Says:

    I plan on spending the day with my mother. I will probably make lunch and then let her choose what she would like to do for the rest of the day. Maybe a movie.

  200. jessica Says:

    Something simple. I would like to spend time with my mom on mothers day. I never get to see her. I would love to take her to dinner and go shopping.

  201. Sue S Says:

    I would love to take my Mom out to dinner since she has a tough year.

  202. C Duran Says:

    The ideal mother’s day would be spent on a tropical island with lots of relaxation and good food!

  203. Bhavana Says:

    Just having someone else cook and clean my house(really clean!) while I play board games with my daughter would be divine!
