40th birthday #2?
sounds like all the time and effort your going to put into all these things she'll really appreciate it, it does not matter that you have not spent much money, not many kids do unless they get t of their parents in the first place.
Reply:Wow, your mum will love all of that, all the money in the world can't buy the happiness you'll bring to your mum on her 40th.
Reply:if I was a mom and I reieved this it would be more valuable than money I mean you mean it from your heart right and thats what counts all of those things as a mom I think she will love them
Reply:Your mum's going to love it. These things are all so personal. You can't buy that.
Reply:I always feel bad when i cant afford to buy my mum something nice, im only 14 im not old enough to get a job so i always have to ask her for money.

I once did 16 drawings for her, put them all in a folder from smiths and tied it all up in ribbon and she really liked it, why not try that?
Reply:I think she will love anything that you get her or make her you have put effot in. well done she will be gratefull. dont feel bad
Reply:if my daughter did for my 40th half of wot ur doing for ur mums 40th then i would feel on top of the world bcoz money isn't everything but a childes love and affection is and there is nothing to feel bad about
Reply:That sounds wonderful! The expense in money is not what your Mum will love the investment of your time and love will bowl her over! She's a lucky Lady to have such a sweet and thoughful Daughter! Hope it all goes really well for you both!!
Reply:oooh that is sooooo nice, wish you were my little girl, I would LOVE a present just like that........... That present is so much more precious than anything money could buy
Reply:money doesnt matter! your mother will realise the effort you have put it and to her it wont matter what you get her!



shes knows @ 15 you will be short of dosh!



another idea! get family members to record a message on a video camera if you have one, something which can be treasured for ever
Reply:you could buy her jewelry. or a teddy bear that says i love you.
Reply:HEY - i am a Mum who is 40 in the next fortnight and if any of my kids went to this effort I would be overwhelmed - good for you as all your ideas come from the heart and that is all your Mum is looking for - I swear if you bought her a cream egg and made a box for it she would love it more than any expensive spa weekend - trust me I am there and I know what I am talking about!!!
