Contest Giveaway - Win a LUSH Mother’s Day Box
By MountainMama | 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.
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
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.

Brunch w/family, then nice bkie ride, followed by dinner out. Reading an a beach somewhere wouldn’t be bad either….
April 30th, 2008 at
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!!
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
In the garden, planting flowers and veggies!
April 30th, 2008 at
On the beach, in the ocean, and anywhere else outside with my family.
April 30th, 2008 at
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)!
April 30th, 2008 at
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!
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
Just being together and having fun.
April 30th, 2008 at
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!
April 30th, 2008 at
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).
April 30th, 2008 at
Ideally I’d go on a nice nature walk with my husband & daughter and then visit with my mother & grandmother. Nice & easy.
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
I’m giving my mom a spa retreat for mothers day!
April 30th, 2008 at
We will go out to a champagne brunch at a lovely local restaurant that is chef owned.
April 30th, 2008 at

April 30th, 2008 at
i’ve been promised breakfast in bed a relaxing day dinner at a local establishment and fun when the lights go out
April 30th, 2008 at
ideally, my mother and my daughters and I could all spend the day together….mainly enjoying each other’s company!
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
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!
April 30th, 2008 at
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!
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
My Mother just recently entered a nursing home so I will travel to spend the day with her
April 30th, 2008 at
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!
April 30th, 2008 at
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
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
We always make sure that my mom sleeps in on mothers day and we make her meals…she loves that compared to flowers!
April 30th, 2008 at
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!

April 30th, 2008 at
I plan on taking my mom out to lunch wherever she’d like to go!
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
Preparing my wife a hot bath filled with LUSH.
April 30th, 2008 at

Giving my Mom a full day of peace and quiet.
April 30th, 2008 at
I would like to win this for my mom
April 30th, 2008 at
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!
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
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!!
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at

April 30th, 2008 at
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
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
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.

April 30th, 2008 at
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.
April 30th, 2008 at
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!
April 30th, 2008 at
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!
April 30th, 2008 at
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.
May 1st, 2008 at
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!
May 1st, 2008 at
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.
May 1st, 2008 at
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.

May 1st, 2008 at
Sleeping in would be fantastic but not likely with a 9 month old and 4 year old. But maybe daddy can take them out of the house and I can get an extra hour or two…
May 1st, 2008 at
I just want to kick back and lay around on the couch all day and have my husband pick up a pile of food at a local restaurant and pig out.

May 1st, 2008 at
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.
May 1st, 2008 at
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!
May 1st, 2008 at

May 2nd, 2008 at
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.
May 2nd, 2008 at
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.
May 2nd, 2008 at
My ideal mother’s day would be the day off!

May 2nd, 2008 at

May 2nd, 2008 at
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 =)
May 2nd, 2008 at
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…
May 2nd, 2008 at
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.
May 2nd, 2008 at
We would spend quality time together. The entire family just relaxing and taking it easy. An outdoor meal in the backyard patio.

May 2nd, 2008 at
I plan on doing NOTHING for Mother’s Day.
May 2nd, 2008 at
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.
May 2nd, 2008 at
Relaxing after a nice meal.

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
May 3rd, 2008 at
probably let her sleep in late, and then take her out to a nice restaurant
May 3rd, 2008 at
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.
May 3rd, 2008 at
Having my husband watch my daughter so I could have a couple hours “me” time.
May 3rd, 2008 at
I want to spend mother’s day with the babies and just play with them all day.
May 3rd, 2008 at
My ideal mother’s day? Staying home with my family, eating breakfast in bed, watching great movies and spending time together.
May 3rd, 2008 at
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.
May 3rd, 2008 at
I’d like to spend the day with my daughers and my husband.
May 3rd, 2008 at
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.
May 3rd, 2008 at
Yes, please.
May 3rd, 2008 at
watching tv and not doing anything, that sounds nice
May 3rd, 2008 at
dinner with my mom
May 3rd, 2008 at
The six of us children will be taking mom golfing.
May 3rd, 2008 at
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!
May 3rd, 2008 at
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.
May 3rd, 2008 at
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!
May 3rd, 2008 at
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!
May 3rd, 2008 at
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.
May 3rd, 2008 at
Sleeping late and watching a movie with the kids
May 3rd, 2008 at
Spending the day with my mom–but am not sure yet what the plans are… probably whatever she wants to do!
May 3rd, 2008 at
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.
May 3rd, 2008 at
[...] Traveling Mamas - LUSH Mother’s Day Box (May 5th) [...]
May 3rd, 2008 at
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.
May 3rd, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
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?)
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
No laundry; no dishes; no cooking.
Dinner in or out, but made by someone else.
Family together.
May 4th, 2008 at
I’d love to be able to spend the whole day with my husband and son, exploring, shopping, and just hanging out together.
May 4th, 2008 at
I’d like to spend the day with my mother, no cooking, cleaning, or anything, Just relaxing and talking and having a good time.
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
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!
May 4th, 2008 at
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…
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
The flowers will be delivered to her work on Friday, dinner out at our favorite restaurant on Sunday.
May 4th, 2008 at
i would just like to sleep until i woke up!! thanks so much!!
moore.g@insideconnect.net
May 4th, 2008 at
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.

May 4th, 2008 at
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!
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
Take my mom out for dinner and to the casino.
May 4th, 2008 at
My ideal mother’s day would be spent hiking w/my family.
May 4th, 2008 at
I am going on an overnight trip with my mom and sister and can’t wait.
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
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!
May 4th, 2008 at
Relaxing in a fabulous dream home on the coast of Scotland… I wish!
May 4th, 2008 at
i will be celebrating with my mom,kids,and grands at the lake!That is if i am not in the delivery room with one of my daughters ,due anytime,as well as my great nephew due may 10!

May 4th, 2008 at
my ideal day would be on vacation somewhere tropical,no housework, no cooking etc…
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
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.
May 4th, 2008 at
I would love to take my Mom out to dinner since she has a tough year.
May 4th, 2008 at
The ideal mother’s day would be spent on a tropical island with lots of relaxation and good food!
May 4th, 2008 at
Just having someone else cook and clean my house(really clean!) while I play board games with my daughter would be divine!
May 4th, 2008 at
well i am a mom and well what i would love most is to spend time with my children and if i could i would love to spend time with all of them but well thats some thing i have to wait for but in the mean time i can spend time with my youngest one and well thats ok with me and well you realy do have a nice give a way and well i would realy like to win it thanks
May 4th, 2008 at
I would spend my ideal mothers day at a day spa getting a massage, facial, and pedicure. Then I would go for a nice dinner with the family but make my husband tend to my daughter so I can enjoy the food. Great giveaway, thanks!
May 4th, 2008 at
For Mother’s day, all my wife wants is the WHOLE family to go to church with us.
I do believe it will work!!!
May 4th, 2008 at
i want to win
May 4th, 2008 at
My favorite Mothers Day is going for a drive through the countryside with my kiddos in the back, all of us yacking our heads off at the same time about all the wonderful sights we see along the way.
May 4th, 2008 at
Staying in bed while my husband does everything I would normally do (which does not involve getting to stay in bed)
May 4th, 2008 at
I plan to take my mom out to lunch and then watch some old home movies that I’ve put together for us on DVD — my husband helped me to edit them and I think she will be so excited!
PS — My first visit to a LUSH was in London and I fell in love with their products! Thanks for a great contest!
May 4th, 2008 at
I’d love to have the day to spend just me and my daughter, at the park or maybe a petting zoo.
May 4th, 2008 at
I think my wife deserves a great dinner out
free from cooking and dishes.
May 4th, 2008 at
My Mom is one hot chick very trendy, and this August will be 90, thats a celebrtion right there! She deserves this and so much more, she’s a giving mother!
May 4th, 2008 at
I’m very excited because my Mom is coming to visit and I haven’t seen her since September!
May 4th, 2008 at
I think we’re going to a graduation party - not with either of our moms… But it’s my first mothers day as I’ll be 14 weeks pregnant next Sunday
Thanks for the great giveaway! Love the LUSH!!!
May 4th, 2008 at
I ADORE Lush! I can’t get enough of their stuff!
I’ll be spending the day with the reason I’m a mom. =D
May 4th, 2008 at
My ideal day would be to sleep in and not lift a finger all day! My mom lives too far away to visit so I’ll give her a phone call and I still have to go shopping to get her a present!
May 4th, 2008 at
Having dinner with my husband and daughter,
and they would have done the cooking!
May 4th, 2008 at
Talking to my children
May 5th, 2008 at
The perfect mother’s day would be a day sleeping in, breakfast in bed, a day at the spa, and a home cooked supper that I didn’t cook!
May 5th, 2008 at
my perfect mother’s day would be sleeping in, no housework, no cooking. spenind the time with my son and my husband, as well as my mom and grandmother.
May 5th, 2008 at
I would just relax on a blanket in the sun, listening to the birds, chatting with my husband and kids or listening to them play. I miss their younger childhood days of giggling. (They are all now teenagers) I would relive those a million times over if I could.
May 5th, 2008 at
I’d sleep in, which my little guy doesn’t let me do these days. I’d love the rest of the day to be filled with playing/picnicking outside with my husband and son.
May 5th, 2008 at
I plan on taking my mother shopping and letting her pick out an outfit. We enjoy just spending time together with my daughter. My hubby and my dad hate going shopping so we like to do that by ourselves and just enjoy one another’s company.

May 5th, 2008 at
I really have no idea what we are doing for mothers day, usually I do all the planning. I’m excited to just sit back and go along for the ride!
May 5th, 2008 at
My perfect Mother’s Day would be a catered dinner with my family followed by a day at a spa.
May 5th, 2008 at
I live 12 hours away from my mother
but I plan to send her a card with a gift card to one of her favorite restaraunts and tell my dad to run her a nice warm bubble bath. 
May 5th, 2008 at
My ideal Mother’s Day would be to spend the whole day at the zoo or park with my 2 boys. Then maybe have hubby cook a nice supper and watch a movie after the kids go to bed. Simple.
May 5th, 2008 at
i love these nice things i hope im chosen great site
May 5th, 2008 at
My ideal day would be having a picnic by the beach with my hubby and daughter! Wouldn’t that be nice?
May 5th, 2008 at
I’d just like my Mom to come over and have my husband make us a great BBQ!
May 5th, 2008 at
This Mother’s Day my husband is giving me a whole day to relax. He said he would take care of both babies all day long and I wouldn’t have to do a thing. isn’t he wonderful?!
May 5th, 2008 at
My Ideal Mother’s Day : Sleep in. Breakfast in bed. Professional full body massage. Dinner out. Chick flick at the theatre. Perfection!
May 5th, 2008 at
Expecting grandbaby #4 any day. Wouldn’t it be a great mother’s day gift???
May 5th, 2008 at

For Mother’s Day we often take Mother-in-Law out for dinner. We can’t stop her from baking desert, though.
May 5th, 2008 at
I would love to have some family time awat from home-maybe play with the kids in the park and go out for ice cream, then I’d like to have time to myself. Maybe do some of the hobbies I like to do, but don’t get a chance with little ones around.
May 5th, 2008 at
Not having to get up early to walk the dog, stay in my jammies as long as I feel like, have a magic wand to take care of the laundry piles and go out to eat with the fam so there are no dirty dishes! Thank you! mengels[at]hotmail[dot]com
May 5th, 2008 at
we will be going to my daugters home for dinner on mothers day all family members. My granddaughter is making first communion saturday so we shall have 2 days of family celebration. all 5 children and family thank god for daughters
May 5th, 2008 at
My mom and I are going out of town to attend a baby shower and we are going to incorporate outlet shopping.
May 5th, 2008 at
My ideal mother’s day is sleeping in - something I haven’t gotten to do in about 2 years. Then lounging around in my PJs all day, eating and relaxing, and having my husband make me his famous risotto. And spending a great a day with my little girl. That would be the best!
May 5th, 2008 at
I plan to have a Mother-Daughter spa pedicure day with my mom, and dinner afterwards to celebrate Mother’s Day! : ) Would love to win this- I am a new addict to LUSH!

May 5th, 2008 at
My ideal Mother’s Day would be spent with my Mom, she lives a whole ocean away and I haven’t been able to spend a Mother’s Day with her in over 10 years. The day wouldn’t be sans baby though, there is no way she’d miss a chance to be with her grandaughter!
May 5th, 2008 at
a one day getaway to a day spa would be awesome!
May 5th, 2008 at
An ideal Mother’s Day begins with a good night’s sleep. So, it would begin with Calvin sleeping until 5am without waking up hungry in the middle of the night. Then, I’d enjoy sweet potato pancakes, fruit salad, and turkey bacon for breakfast with my husband, prepared BY my husband. Next, I’d spend a couple hours at the local salon & spa getting a facial/massage/great hairstyle. Next, we’d all drive somewhere that felt remote but wasn’t too far from home to enjoy a fun afternoon picnic amidst a warm, nourishing sun, majestic trees, and fragrant flowers. My husband and I would talk our son on a walk in this paradise park and enjoy the lovely day. Finally, to end the day, my husband would sing to me and my son would hug my neck and cover my cheeks with slobbery baby kisses.
May 5th, 2008 at
Very useful travelel gift.
May 5th, 2008 at
Unfortunately I can no longer spend the Mother’s Day I would love to spend. It would be with all my kids & grandkids. Unfortunately my youngest son is no longer in this world, so instead I would like to be with the other kids & grandkids.
May 5th, 2008 at
I need a Mothers day gift and she would love this gift. Mother will receive a phone call because she lives in Indiana and I live in Florida. She loves the phone calls. Does not like flowers because they get ugly so fast.
May 5th, 2008 at
We’re hosting a dessert and coffee party for my mom and my husband’s mom. It’s unusual to have something at night that’s not the traditional Mother’s Day lunch or brunch….and I think they like that idea. I’m doing a “music of the heart” theme with sheet music nosegays and more! It’ll be fun. Thanks for the giveaway! ( meg.wilson@gmail.com )
May 5th, 2008 at
My ideal Mothers Day would be sleeping in, breakfast in bed, a pedicure, and the afternoon playing with my family outside… maybe a hike or a picnic.
May 5th, 2008 at
I love to travel, so I would spend my ideal Mother’s Day on a vacation - Disney World with my kids would be perfect!
May 5th, 2008 at
I would love to go see my son in Houston, TX. Have not seen him in about 5 years — seems he is always too busy to come here, so would love to go there.
May 5th, 2008 at
I will be having a cook-out at my moms. Nothing fancy, but my son will be with my along with my nieces and I am just thankful everyone is okay and together.
May 5th, 2008 at
I’m just hoping to make it through Mother’s Day….This would have been my first, but we lost our pregnancy this past November. I don’t mean to be a Debbie Downer…but I’ll be glad when Mother’ Day is over. I’ll still try to enjoy the time with my mom and mother-in-law. Thanks for the giveaway…it would definitely make my “mother’s” day!
May 5th, 2008 at
I want to have a nice dinner with my family, a day of relaxation and not hearing my husband and daughter fight all day, that would be a rare treat!
May 5th, 2008 at
Definitely not having to cook or clean, just having fun with my family
May 5th, 2008 at
My ideal Mother’s Day would be spent with the little boy who made me a mom.
May 5th, 2008 at
i wanna sleep all day
May 5th, 2008 at
My 4 sons and I will be pampering my wife for mother’s day. We will also be getting her flowers for the yard.
May 5th, 2008 at
What would make a memorable Mother’s Day for me would be for my daughter and son-in-law, granddaughter, and greatgranddaughter to drive up the coast to Big Sur, and treat me to a wonderful lunch at a restaurant overlooking the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean.
May 5th, 2008 at
I plan to spend my very first Mother’s Day where I am the Mom with my Mom, my daughter, my husband and family. We’re going to have a bbq. Yeah!
May 5th, 2008 at
Make nice breakfest then go out and get lot of flowers and start planting
May 5th, 2008 at
thanks!
May 5th, 2008 at
I am a mother of 3 young children all under the age of 10! This year we are planning to invite my Mother over for an early dinner and just spend some QUALITY time with the entire family together. To me, the best memories made, and the special moments remembered are always the simplest plans and gifts. Spending a late Sunday afternoon having a simple home cooked meal having loved ones surrounding you is like heaven on earth! I have enjoyed reading everyone’s comments on how they are spending their day - so Happy Mother’s Day to all!
May 5th, 2008 at
My mom just had a stroke so my ideal Mother’s Day is just spending quality time together.
May 5th, 2008 at
I will spend my mothers day at home wiht my babys and Hubby Maybe a picnic
May 5th, 2008 at
Sleeping as late as I want and then going out for the day and being ‘off’ (no diapers, bedtimes, etc) lol.
May 5th, 2008 at
I’ll be spending Mother’s Day doing what I LOVE TO Do!
Stalking my WWE Wre
