Can you believe it’s MAY already?! What does that mean? MOTHER’S DAY is freaking coming up dude! We always procrastinate with Mothers/Father’s Day presents and always end up panicking in the end, and if you are like me, then here are some quick and easy gift ideas:
• Take her to the spa. Get a simple facial, a nice full-body swedish massage or hell, even a brazilian together (well maybe not in the same room to save from awkwardness), but I’m sure mother will love it anyway. Being in a spa always feels good even if you are getting hair ripped from your body. If you live in Richmond, BC, Raintree Day Spa at the end of No.2 and Steveston is my favorite place to be (plus they serve you delicious tea while waiting… if you’re a tea freak like me.
• Buy her a puppy! Well this is from my personal experience because my mom loves my Mochi and won’t stop spoiling her. Just don’t do what I did and tell her we are babysitting it for a couple months when in reality, I spent $800 on her. Oh, and make sure that you don’t have grandparents that eat pets; my grandma, as much as I love her, ate my grandpa’s goldfish so I’m keeping my six eyes on Mochi 24/7. Hehe just kidding.
• Take her out for dinner. Or in my case, I think we’re just going to go out for dim sum because we are Chinese and can’t live without dim sum (well I can’t anyway). My mom usually goes out to dinner with her Chinese lady friends which I would rather stay out of just because I always feel awkward and bored in those situations despite the delicious food. I don’t think they like me much either because I’m rude and I use to talk about how much I despise Hongers in their presence. Lmao.
Honestly, how can anyone not LOVE dim sum? If you don’t, I’m not your friend and I don’t like you anymore. Seriously. Photocredit: jenzcorner.com
• Increase her collection of Korean dramas. If your mother is like mine and likes to watch sappy dramas and look at hot young Korean guys (which is kinda wrong).
• Give her a makeover. My mom hates it when I wear make up but I know she’ll secretly have fun if I give her one. Your will too (because I say so).
• Buy her shizz (other than flowers)! The easiest piece of advice I can give ya.
• Or don’t buy her shizz (especially flowers)! Some of them (like mine) don’t like their kids wasting money on materialistic things even if it is for them (umm.. not me though, you guys can buy me as many materialistic things as you want 
).
Oh wait, I just thought of THE BEST TIP EVER: DON’T PISS OFF MOM ON MOTHER’S DAY or I can guarantee you that she’s gonna be pissing you off for the rest of the year.

Umm I’m not sure either.. I just know she did. I think it was either dying or already dead so she just cooked it. They’ve had the fish for as long as I remember too… so maybe she ate it for sentimental reasons. LOL JK.

I love giving my Mom something special for Mother’s Day. This year I got her a gift certificate to her favorite restaurant/lunch place that she goes to when she’s at work! =]
Glad to hear everything’s going well with Mochi as well. =]

Since my ma lives like 20 hours away I think I’m just gonna jump on 1800flowers and send her a basket or bouquet. My ma loves flowers. If I could I’d go visit her.. that should be added to the list – if you live far away from ma visit her for mothers day.

I’d love to buy my mom a puppy, too !
I don’t think she’d go for it though, lol
I got my mom a dentist’s scaler/pick because my mom really likes to brush her teeth. She’s a little out there sometimes. And also stuff from Sephora

I love your blogs. You make me laugh. I also like Chinese food ♥ Yum! I think I could eat it all the time…I’ll have to try dim sum, I’ve read about it and it sounds good.
REPLY
Thanks for the advice! I like the last one haha. I hate that my mom lives three hour away.

One of the “quick and easy gift ideas” you mentioned was to buy her a puppy?! Which will probably end up eating her collection of sappy Korean dramas. I think I’ll pass on the puppy.
My moms really hard to please. More than half of the stuff I have given to her for Mother’s Day and Christmas ends up getting returned.
Last Mother’s Day, I bought her these hot Gucci sunglasses, and surprisingly, she liked them, but someone ended up stealing them! Ugh. No more gifts for my mom! My moms trouble.
Also, that Dim Sum picture looks very delicious. I eat them at least once a week. Yum.

I HATE YOU FOR POSTING THAT DIMSUM MONTAGE!!!!!! I want
I’m a terrible daughter. It’s my mom’s birthday today and Mom’s day this weekend AND I AM BROKE. I’ll keep your tips in mind for, uh, next year. Or Christmas, heh.

I know you want it

Buy them and see what happens. If it doesn’t work out you can make a Domo pyramid. I can see Mochi eating those Domo!
Thanks for reminding me that Mother’s day is soon. Great. Mother’s day is on my anniversary date. So that means I have to buy two presents. Freaking A.
You know what I bought my mom last year? A friggen card that had a farmer on it and it says some shit like “I didn’t have time to buy you a present, so here’s 50 bucks.” and when you open the card there’s 50 chickens saying buck buck buck 50 times. HAHHAH. my mom liked that. Maybe I’ll buy her make-up or something. She likes make-up and clothes. Damn mothers day! Creeping up all quick and shit. GRRRAWR. Oh and boys day is tomorrow. Damn you may!
