Re: Need ideas on how dad could surprise mom!

my dad rarely buys presents for my mom...b/c she will return them...so she usually buys her own presents (it works for them)

on V-day or B-day my dad bought her a huge ruby necklace (her birthstone) and hung it up on the bathroom mirror in the middle of the night...he wanted her to see it in the morning...but she woke up in the night to go to the bathroom and had the shock of her life...

Re: Need ideas on how dad could surprise mom!

marcella, this may be too cheesey but do you guys say what you are thankful for? your dad can tell her then, in front of everyone! or, he can write SURPRISE on her plate in mashed potatoes? LOL or, he can videotape a message to her and pretend he is going to turn on the tv to watch the parade and voila its him!

sorry its late, my ideas suck LOL

Ithink your dad should make one of those sandwich boards in the shape of hearts or spades or something and do a dance for her.
