Mother's Day Question.....?

It occured to me today that Mother's Day is this Sunday. Would it be appropriate to send my mother a dozen plastic pink flamingoes, as opposed to the traditional dumb flowers?? Your thoughts on this thoughtful gift?

Reply:Umm.. how about flowers.. there are some awesome flowers on Yahoo! Shopping that you need to see.. some are unique, pink and possibly something she would really like:

Reply:I am a mother and I would not like pink plastic flamingos. Unless your mother has a thing for flamingos and has expressed an interest in wanting the plastic ones for her yard, please spare her a gift that will sit in a storage somewhere.
Reply:Hmm....


Depends what the flamingoes actually do?


Garden ornaments? Inside decoration?





But either way, it will be a surprise for you mother =)
Reply:Actually she might enjoy that; she could have a flock running around on her lawn but also send Flowers...
Reply:You really are trying to get rid of those flamingos aren't you?


No, I don't think she'd be terribly appreciative unless she really likes flamingos or gardening.


Sorry :)
Reply:I see you were lucky enough to receive all these pink flamingos and their adventures. I say go for it ,she will get a big laugh when she sees all these pink things on her lawn Sunday morning!
Reply:It depends on your mom.





If my son sent me a dozen flamingos, I'd be delighted. I'd like flowers, too.





What he sends doesn't matter as much as *that* he sends, you know?
Reply:NO NO NO!! Stop wasting perfectly good flamingoes on one person!!! Share the joy of owning a flamingo and stop being so dam* selfish! One flamingo is plenty!!
Reply:they are so bright and beautiful great idea...





and a Partridge in pear tree too Snizz?..
Reply:If she collects or like flamingoes then yes. I'm sending my mother in law a ferret afghan.
Reply:i think that it's a good idea. i think that she would love them if she has a garden or a nice yard! that would be nice!
Reply:uhhh, no. If my kid gave me plastic flamingos they would be in his yard the next day. lol
Reply:I wouldn't "claim" you as a Son--if you did that!!!!!!
