DH gets stuff for his mom for Mother's day (I do not; my sibs and my mother know that I'll send them a happy nothing's day present sometime in June, so as not to buy into the Hallmarkization of what was once a VERY political day.)

He forgot this year.

So I have to do this for him ASAP, and we live 1000 miles from his mom.

Any suggestions?

6. DH did that for Festivus for her....

So he already vetoed more books....

(If I'm doing the shopping, dammit, I get to pick, right??)

9. They also have music.

Costco's a good place to shop, too.

2. I got my present

from the rainforest site.

Saves trees too!

5. That's where I ended up, but they don't recognize my MIL's zip code.

Apparently, Virginia is in the darkest wilds. :sarcasm:

8. Wow.

Is it a fairly new zip code? Does she live in a newer suburb or a new apartment block with its own zip code? That's the only thing I can think of for TWO sites not to be able to recognize the zip code.

Can you send it somewhere else nearby, to another family member?

10. No, she's had the house for several years and the address hasn't changed.

I don't know what went wrong. His sister is about 7 driving hours away, and she's the closest, so oh, well....

DH is not really all that enthusiastic about sending her anything (which was why I was doing this) so it may not get done.... (And I won't bore you with the details of his grumble....)

So we get to go shopping tonight... what fun! Gimpy on parade!
