Update on Larks thing - Larks don't look

eowynmn · March 2009

Larks, you better not be looking.

I know if this was hippy or me, we'd be looking so you better not be as snoopy as us.

Geepers girl! I said stay out of the damn thread!

Ok, we've raised a lot so far. Over 200, enough for the obnoxious cookie boquet and the flowers/plant idea, so someone suggest an option at 1-800 flowers. apparently price isn't an object for us.

Also, if we get more - i was thining of spending the rest on something fun for her.... a giftcard for an online store for her to buy something for herself or maggie, just something fun for her. Any ideas on what she might like?

I was thinking a massage

eowynmn · March 2009

Edit:

I just looked at her facebook profile and apparently she's a big bookworm, so maybe I could get her an amazon.com giftcard with the leftovers. Does anyone agree or have a better idea?

Amrice78 · March 2009

I'm sure she'd love that

MrsTotty · March 2009

Dude, if it were me I would KILL for a massage or a mani/pedi ...

I think that sounds good. She can shop online!

eowynmn · March 2009

well then we need kitten's input cause I dont want to send her to no crazy place...

And are we sure she likes massages? Some peopel don't...and she would need someone to watch maggie, and that's if she can get out for a massage and isn't on bedrest.

Not that I don't think a massage is great, I'm just thinking of all the situation aspects.

jlb7640 · March 2009

Amazon is always good.

Fordlor · March 2009

My vote would be for an Amazon gift card. She can use it whenever she wants.

IckyThump · March 2009

I vote for an Amazon g.c. You can't really go wrong there.

Erin Mary Ackerman · March 2009

what about a maid service gc? Aforementioned MIL/cleaning issues...

I agree. You can get plenty of non-book things from them too if she feels like getting something else.

clarice928 · March 2009

I like the Amazon idea too -- easy to shop, no worries about timing.

MrsTotty · March 2009

Yes, I think you are right ... a Amazon GC would be awesome for her reading, or, she could get Mags something with it etc.

I concur!!

good point, we wouldn't want to stress her out more by trying to "be nice" I think she'd really dig the Amazon gift card - she can get books, something for herself, something for Maggie, etc

mikey&amie · March 2009

If it was me, I definitely would love a mani/pedi/massage, but since we don't really know the circumstances, I think Amazon is perfect. ?I also

Amazon.

MollyK0222 · March 2009

I agree about the Amazon gc... but a maid service is great too!!!

eowynmn · March 2009

If you want to donate, send whatever amount makes you happy to larksrocks@gmail.com through paypal. most people are sending between $2-10 with the average being $5, but whatever amount works for you is very generous if you ask me!

Coming from another bookworm: Amazon giftcard would be AWESOME. Just sayin'.

oh that one is really pretty brahim. Should we do something more elegant/beautiful/classy with the flowers (although ginormous) and do the tacky thing with the cookies?

What should I write on the card for the flowers? I'm terrible with words.

Erin Mary Ackerman · March 2009

I think we have tacky/funny with the cookies, and the flowers should be nice. Plus, I looked and finding tacky flowers is hard

That arrangment is HUGE!!!! I can imagine it being bigger than the Magster!

I don't know BB, did you miss the lovely beer stein made out of flowers, complete with a frothy head? Confused

I agree, the cookies should be funny, but the flowers should be nice.

eowynmn · March 2009

wait, what? beer flowers. I need to see those

*notes for fathers day*

eowynmn · March 2009

dooooood. that's awesome

so no seriously, I need something wonderful to say on the card with the cookie boquet and the card for the flower boquets.

The sooner someone thinks of something the better, cause I'm going to order one tonight at least.

meggiekins · March 2009

Sorry. I am really bad with words.

Fordlor · March 2009

I'm not very creative but maybe something simple like "We're thinking of you. Love your Nest Family"

Lame, I know.

I have a feeling Brahim can come up with something way better.

Erin Mary Ackerman · March 2009

We don't know UR life! But get well soon!

love,

your Nestie Besties

Jessibell · March 2009

My only request is that you sign the cards from "nesties" and not "bumpies". Bumpies makes me think of heat rash.

eowynmn · March 2009

seriously, where the hell is my wallet. I hate having all these different freakin bags.

Oh don't worry. I don't think anyone who would donate to larks would call themselves a "bumpie"

Jessibell · March 2009

Oh, just a note... I'm cool with ordering from wherever, but I have noticed that the quality of Teleflora and FTD arrangements is a lot better than 1-800-Flowers. I used 1-800-Flowers for a long time until my mom leveled with me that the arrangements were showing up half dead.

eowynmn · March 2009

but dont telaflora and ftd show up in a box?

eowynmn · March 2009

It could have just been the florist by yoru mom that they subcontracted to....

I am 99.9% sure that 1-800-Flowers show up in a box.

Not really. We moved a lot, so I've actually had bad experiences with them in 4 different states.

But, again- I just wanted to put it out there.

I didn't know you guys were doing this and I want to contribute. But I don't have PayPal. Can I stick $5 in an envelope and mail it to someone? I promise I won't post your personal info on the board. I'm not a loon.

Oh, and as far as the card goes, a little USA! USA! USA! is always good.

Want a personalized experience?
