thanks for this. Just used this and pre-ordered a bunch of flowers (plus the free choccies) for my mother.

I'm terrible at remembering the different Mother's Day date; although from memory I think that Father's Day is the same in both countries. You certainly can't miss it in the US since the stores start promoting it about 6 weeks early. I'll be in Australia at the time so the pre-ordering for the UK is perfect.

Thank you

Re: Mothers Day reminder

Has anyone ordered cards of Clinton's website before? I was thinking that might solve the mum/mom card problem. 'Mom' makes me cringe so I just couldn't send a mom card. Okay, I'd need to get the card sent here by Clintons before posting it back, but I'd have thought there's enough time to do that.

I've been trying to buy a birthday card for my dad all week. I truly can't believe how awful the cards are out here - super gushy, or supposedly 'humourous' that doesn't work, or American-football themed is all you can get.

They do nice cards over here...also plenty of nice blank ones, so you can write your own message :)

My wife found some Mothers Day cards in a card shop in Seattle yesterday. It wasn't a chain though.

Re: Mothers Day reminder

just a reminder = one more week to use this site (with the discount) in time for mothers day. Just ordered mine and was very pleased to see they took paypal as well as the usual stuff.

Re: Mothers Day reminder

In many cases they are pronounced almost exactly the same anyway

Are you from the Midlands? Where I grew up it's Mam, which is rare to find too, so I'm not too bothered about sending cards with Mom on now. This time of year is bloody expensive for me - my mother's birthday, my grandmother's birthday, and Mother's day. Bah :lol:
