What is the most popular Mother's Day gift?

  • A nice card, a bunch of flowers (whatever you can afford)
  • The most precious gift of all is giving the full day of your attention to her. Go out for a nice lunch or special dinner and just have fun!
  • Flowers
  • Nice, relaxing day at home
  • A homemade gift
  • Cookies
  • Shopping
  • Respect
  • Scented candles
  • Gift certificate for a day at a spa
  • I am going to cook all her favorite dishes for dinner on Mother's Day and I'm giving her a DIY custom-jewelry pearl necklace and matching earrings to match her new clothes she just bought. And my kids (5 & 7) are going to play her a piano piece each; they have been secretly practicing for a few months now.
  • If you are gifted in crafts give a gift like pottery, painting or knitting.
  • Go to your local gift store and get some custom-made gifts with her name on it.
  • Write her a poem, sing her a song or take her for a short trip: fly out of town or go on a cruise.
  • The bottom line is that a Mother's Day gift does not need to be expensive; a gift from your heart will do. Nine times out of ten, a thoughtful card will be enough to make her smile. Anything homemade is a relative winner: cards, gifts, anything you put together yourself will add a thoughtfulness to the gift that she will appreciate.
  • If your mother is not partial to arts and crafts, there are plenty of other options. Save the jewelry for the husband/dad. If you do not know your mother's tastes that well and are not sure what she likes, ask her friends, coworkers, or significant other, as she has probably mentioned many things she is fond of over the course of many conversations with them.
  • A note on material things: Mothers are not like fathers, so do not think of a gift your dad/father figure might like and get that version "in pink." That is a cop-out. Instead, watch your mother's every day behavior and see if there is anything she might find useful, like a shuffle if she likes to work out, a fancy ballpoint pen (name engraved optional) if she writes.
  • If all else fails, most mothers love family, so a family photo album or scrapbook or anything to remind her of her family and the love and care she gets will be an automatic winner. And you can make the gift-giving part interesting as well: maybe send her on a treasure hunt around the house; or have her answer some trivia related to family members or herself.
  • Try to discreetly discover something she'd like rather than something you'd like to buy her. Ignore advertisements. If you've lived with her your whole life, you might have somewhat of an idea of the things she likes. It doesn't have to cost a lot; chocolates or a good bottle of wine or a book by a favorite author might be good, or even a subscription to a magazine you know she reads sometimes. A DVD or CD that you know she'd enjoy is always okay. If you have little money, why not make a huge, colorful card with lots of sentimental and loving comments, complete with glitter?
  • Kitchen appliances and cleaning implements are not recommended; neither are fluffy slippers unless she's indicated she'd really like a pair.
  • She's probably dropping hints. Listen hard. Ask her friends, but be careful they're not recommending gifts they'dlike.
  • A night out at a good restaurant is always great, especially if you can manage to have flowers delivered to your table; this is the kind of personal attention everyone loves.
  • Those ideas are quite good but bake a cake, take her out, buy her a giant glittery card and tulips. put your feet in her shoes.
  • Get your Mom something she will like: DVD's; makeup; a bag of toiletries. Or treat her to: a night out with "the girls; a visit to a spa; a massage. Another idea is to bake her a cake.
  • One word: LOVE
  • Don't make her wash the dishes or do any chores, you shall do it for her.
  • Just remember to get her something that fits with HER interests, not yours.
  • A back rub.

Hindi poem on nature with the poet's name?

Seekho by Sreedhar Padak

Phoolom say nith hasna seekho,

Phoumrom say nith gaana.

Phal ke ladhi daaliyom say,

Nith seekho sheesh chukaana.

Seekh hawa kay chonkom say lo,

Komal-komal bahna.

Dhudh thatha paani say seekho,

Mel-jol say rahna.

Sooraj kee kiranom say seekho,

Jagna owr jagaana.

Latha owr pedom say seekho,

Sabko galay lagaana.

Deepak kay jalnay say seekho,

Anthakaar ko harna.

Prithvi say seekho sabkee nith,

Sacchi seva karna.
