It was nice having our family altogether again for a celebration (ie: Mother’s Day). We really surprised my mother this year considering we not once asked her what she wanted. We just knew.

Some things we got her included a huge mother’s day card, jacket, flower stems (she needed to change some faux flowers in some pots she has), large & deep frying pan + a few other pots (everything stainless steel and bloody expensive!!), and last but not least my favourite…an HP Photosmart A826 Compact Photo Printer.

The photo printer we got was one I personally had my eye on getting but knew my mother would be ecstatic once she learned how to use it. She is constantly bugging me to order photos of my nephew from the Walmart photo center in our local store. Of course, I always forget to do so which was good anyways. Why? Well, once I showed my mother how to print out photos from this printer, and photos of my nephew came out with unbelievable quality, my mother cried. Yes…I said that right - she cried.

She cherishes photographs deeply which is one of the reasons I knew it would be a great gift for her. Plus, I got it CHEAP too!! It was $250 before…then went down to $199. I saw it online for only $159 at FutureShop.ca. Then of course I check out BestBuy.ca and they had it for $149. So I just went to FutureShop because they match the price and then give you a 10% off from the difference. SWEET!! So it was definitely a great bargain in the end! LOL!
