Okay.......... maybe I'm blind, but I don't see where it says that they are giving the mothers flip flops. I just see one ladies' flip flop used as a graphic for mother's day...... Does the the ad actually state they are giving flip flops and I missed it?????? I does say "memorable gift" - but I don't see it state what the memorable gift will be. Are we jumping to conclusions here?  Let me know if I missed where it actually states that.

I'm not sure either Sweet Pea. But I know year after year it gets hard to think up something original...I may remember flip-flops for next year! Of course it would be difficult to know what sizes to get everyone...

If they were giving them away, would you think it appropriate?

I bought my mom roses to plant in her flower garden.. and a nice Mother's day card with a gift card enclosed.
My mother doesn't wear flip flops, so I definitely wouldn't have purchased them for her. 
I can't imagine our church handing out flip flops to mom's either...

It's the thought that counts. Over the years I have received paper clip necklaces, paper hats, cards, to wild flower picked by my kids, to a mold print of my son hand he made in Kindergarten each of these gift were a treasure due to the thought and proud smile on their face as I wore these items. Yes I been given diamonds, pearls before, but nothing has come close to the little things my kids made with their own two hands~ So if they , my 17-20 years olds bought me flip flop I be very happy~ Because that what mothers do, because a mother realizes it not about the gifts but the thought and action of love that went into it~

There is a large charismtatic church in our town that gives first time visitors a nice jar of jam / jelly with a custom label that says " Especially Made for World Outreach Church" and in big letter's "We're glad you came". It also has the church name, address and a sloagan "Recognizing God's Faithfulness In A Changing World".
