 Kat007, Loveprague & reBooped, I love the idea of a picture frame, also silk headscarfs. I think I will go for these ideas, maybe with some scented soap too.
Melnceyhun, I'm really nervous too, but I'm sure everything will be fine. Have a wonderful time, it will certainly be an experience.
Thank you all for your lovely ideas, I have to shop now!!!

Quoting sas193: Thank you all for your ideas.
The lady in question is 60 years old and is a widow. She lives with her four sons, eight sons in total, bless her heart. I thought about flowers and some sort of craft but I really don't know her choice.
I don't want to make a big impression, I don't want her to feel I've gone overboard, just a gift to show my appreciation.
Thank you again for your help. |

Yeah, flowers are such a key that there is no door which they can't open.
(Woow! This has looked like a maxim!  )

Let nobody take interest in your maxims, panta rei! It is all fine to you. As you said before, you are not the human of this era. Your maxims and their great value will be understood in the next century! Obviously you are not the mouth for these ears!

Sorry panta rei, your wisdom just doesn't work. I locked myself out of my apartment the other day and I tried all kinds of flowers to open the damn door and none of them worked! How do you explain that?? I feel cheated  .

Oh please, catwoman... don't ever resort to my wisdom, especially for daily sad affairs; because, as you experienced once very well, it doesn't work inddeed. In such cases there would be no need being too romantic with flowers and you should immediately have called for a locksmith. You know, being romantic is one thing, an actual sad daily affair is another.

Speaking of Moms and flowers...
Did you know that my Mom thinks flowers are not practical?
She probably wants money, clothes, gadgets, kitchen stuff, or "practical" things. My Dad thinks flowers are a waste of money too. Haha... no wonder they are together.
I gave her roses once and she gave it to someone else who would appreciate them more.

I hope I am not too late. But, Turks have a special thing for flowers, espeically Gül(Rose). So to give something unique, I have a suggestion and you can look into it if you like. It's call Gold Roses(roses dipped in Gold). I dunno how it may sound but you can take a look at this website if you like:

It's something unique.
