Got a call from my mom this evening. Turns out that she is actually thinking of cutting her stay this time in the State a bit shorter! And the reason is that one of my cousin is getting married and she wants to head back home to Guanhsi and "helpout" with the wedding planning (seriously, what is there to help out with...)
Anwayways, this is a SUPER bumming news for me. I actually had some great plans to spend quality times with my dear mommy for the next few month (yeah, call me mama's boy, but as I get older, I actually do enjoy spend time with her talking about life, or nothing in general, and our Saturday morning walks near the Huntington Library... despite her nagging :))
Well, since she is seriously thinking of heading back to the old country early, I am thinking the least I can do, to show my appreciation for her, is to buy her something NICE (within my financial means that is, since I know I'll be a proud home owner soon).
It helps that I am finally getting my Q2 bonus check the day after tomorrow, so I think I'll have some healthy spending money hee hee :P
So my dear readers, I need suggestions? (I know what i am gonna get my dad already....the sofa at home is pretty chewed up by my two senior citizen dogs, so it is time to buy a new sofa....despite my artistic dad's incomprehensible attachment to that piece of S$%t :P)
As for mommy I am thinking of the following:
1) Something nice but not too showy from Tiffany's (she is a very modest lady, never liked to wear anything brand name in her life, but I still want to get her some bling blings) what do you think?
2) A standard "Chinese Woman" LV bag? (I know every OTHER Chinese women that I know has one, but still :)
3) United States quarter collection (she gets a kick out of collectings quarters from all states...go figure) I'll get her this FOR FREE fore sure, its just an added bonus :P
4) Fly her first class for her next trip back to LA?
hummmm....so hard to decide. your feedbacks are welcomed.
Tough decisions. FYI, don't get first class ticket, just a waste of money.
ReplyDeletepurse, tiffany's, that's all Asian parents use. They all have them, but they all like them and still want them.
How about buying a small vacation somewhere? Nothing fancy.
Or a pampering day at a local salon (either haircut, facial, mani pedi, or massage, or all of it).
Or just take her out to a nice dinner.
lots of choices out there.
Got this information from your mom last night...
ReplyDeleteShe wants the Coach purse, but don't wanna get it without it being on sale.
Pampering her is a good idea, that you can drop her off at Betty's (my friend opens a shop in RH) and then pick her up afterwards. Betty does a very good job with very tender care.
