What are you doing for your Mom or MIL for Mother's Day?

I'm in desperate need of ideas for my MIL. We are going out to lunch with them Sunday but I need to do some sort of gift too. Thoughts?

And I can just share how wonderful E is? I was having a rough morning yesterday missing my Mom and Mother's day coming up is making it worse. Anyways he told me I should buy her a card anyways and just keep it. I think we decided on buying a rose bush that I want, and putting it in the yard.

Re: What are you doing for your Mom or MIL for Mother's Day?

  • Nada. I doubt we will be leaving the house that weekend. They can come to us if they really want. They still aren't getting more than a card.

     

    And E deserves a big hug. Very sweet. (Or a bj. Your call.)

  • MIL is getting a card and GC to a local ice cream shop and my mom is getting a card and Starbucks GC. If we lived closer we'd probably do brunch or something. 

    I think getting a card for your mom is a very sweet idea. Maybe write something inside that you did this year in her honor or that she would have enjoyed.  

  • Nothing.  I'll be getting my grandma flowers and lunch.

  • DH bought a bunch of cheesy Air Force Mom garb from the BX and as tacky as most of it is, she's going to love it.
    I think I'm just sending out cards to my mom and stepmom. I might make a handprint bouquet from the girls. But other than that...a phone call?

  • Nothing for MIL (that's DH's call) and my siblings and I go in together on flowers and a card for our mom and step-mom.  When I lived at home all the women in my family went to brunch on Mother's Day.

  • My mother is Satan's wingman, so nothing for her, but I'll likely treat myself to a massage or other spa service. 

    I like E's card idea for your mom.

  • We(my sister, step dad and I) got my mom a mothers ring from here. I think my sister will go visit my mom and I'll skype with them both. For MIL, idk, that's DH's job.

  • I am sending her a card. I can't send much more than that, because her roommate is sensitive to flowers and my mom can't chew chocolate without choking. 

    My dad and sister may have some plans though. :-)

  • I'm sending an Edible Arrangement to my MIL.  My parents will be visiting and we're taking them to brunch. 
    I don't want to be on MSNBC, yo.
  • My mom wanted an iTunes gift card, so I got her that and also an America's Test Kitchen cookbook.  She loves to cook, and has had the majority of her cookbooks since I was a kid, so I thought it'd be fun to get her some new recipes. 

    MIL doesn't get anything but the grandmas in our families are all just getting cards too.

  • Trying to push this baby out so I can make them grandparents.

  • Cards obviously and I am working on a painting for my mom in law. My mom really wants a movie that is coming to dvd...and then I'll probably have something handmade for her too.
