Cost us virtually nothing, saved her a ton of money and it was a lot of fun. We spent a whole day together as a family and she enjoyed that quite a bit.

I'd be one unhappy mama if my family bought me those for Mother's Day. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but, c'mon, this is 2007. No blenders, either! Pots and pans?

They were beautiful and arrived as though he had bought them at a florist. We live in a State where we are in a rather desolate location, so buying the flowers from ProFlowers was actually cheaper than buying them from the local florist (one). One thing: I thought baby's breath was passe, so if they omitted those, that would have been OK with me. Thanks again for the link and for this site. :) Thank you for the link to CR.

Maybe other libraries do this as well. It wouldn't hurt asking. I found that my library has a subscription and they gave me the username/password. Maybe other libraries do this as well.
