Mother's Day... what are you doing for yours?

With our move last weekend, I forgot it was Mother's Day until yesterday.  What are you doing for your mom?? Im stuck on ideas.... I don't want to do flowers and we need to keep price down and be able to mail whatever we do....

  • MIL will probably get a Bordine's gift card, no idea yet for my mom.  She'll be in town on Tuesday so I'm not going to mail her gift but it also gives me a few extra days to figure it out.

    I'm hoping Jason does or gets me something for Mother's Day ...

  • I have no idea what to get my MIL so I need to figure that out.  Last year I ended up just getting her a couple hanging baskets, I may resort to that again this year if I can't figure something else out.
  • Kbaby - do you think that Landon will get you something for mothers day?

  • We are having brunch at noon, then I will get the rest of the day to spend mother's day with DH & DS.

  • I finally got my Mom's gift in the mail yesterday. I got her a grandmother's baby book for archiving memories.

    On Sunday, we'll just end up going to my MIL's house for the afternoon like always.

  • My mom is a marathon runner, she's done 8 now, and is training for her 9th. I got her a rack to hang all of her marathon medals from. I'll also call her on Sunday, but we live far apart so there's no brunch to be had.

    Is this rack for medals or just what she'll use it for?  May I see it?  My BIL does tri's and I think he'd like something like that.

    Maybe. I'm not expecting anything.

  • I'll probably buy my mom some supplies (a new mat and blades) for her cricut machine and maybe a small flowering plant.

  • We are going in with both my SILs to get MIL an edible arrangement and an Amazon gift card so she can buy books for her Kindle.

  • Mother's Day isn't really a big thing for either side. We'll call our Moms and we sent cards but that's it.

  • I?m buying my Mom perfume and a hanging plant for my MIL. I usually get something for my Aunt to but this year?NO ideas yet. Humph!

  • I got my Mom a gift certificate for a massage.  DH is in charge of whatever he wants to get his Mom.  

    We won't see either of our Mom's on Sunday.  For one, we're having a delayed 5-year anniversary for us on Sunday since we're stuck working all day and night today.  My Mom lives in GR so we won't be driving there.  DH's sister is a nutter who made major drama over us wanting to see his Mom last year on Mother's Day, so he'll just see her some other day.

    Seventh Anniversary

    We're planning on going to my parents' house for an early dinner on Sunday.  No idea when or if we'll even see DH's Mom.  I pretty much leave that planning up to him. 

    As far as gifts go, my brother and I split the cost of a lawn sculpture that my Mom wanted.  No idea if we'll get something for DH's mom, but I'm assuming maybe a little plant of some sort.  Who knows.

    I am almost willing to bet money that DH/Emma will get me nothing.  My Mom has already given me some fun Mother's Day presents though. Smile

    Sorry.  Just saw this response Tarah...

    She gave me a really cute burgundy zip-up hoodie that is super lightweight but really warm and snuggly.  Perfect for cooler summer nights.  She also gave me a super pretty yellow rose plant that I can plant outside.
