Mother's Day Gifts

Nick's mom works in a factory, rarely does anything special to her hair, doesn't wear a ton of makeup, and loves to clean but probably wouldn't use any kind of cleaning tool we got her.  I'm beginning to think flowers or dinner is the way to go.  What do you think?  I know if I ask her what she wants she'll just tell me she wants grandchild Stick out tongue

What are you getting for your mom?  If you are a mom, what do you want for Mother's Day?

Re: Mother's Day Gifts

  • I get my mother a very large planter of flowers every year for her porch.  She loves it.  The last couple of years I've gotten them from Flowerland.  Depending on size and what is in them, they can range from $25 - $50+.

  • I'm still debating - they have this wine tasting event at McFadden's so I thought about taking her to that.  I also want to give my dad something for helping with the deck, so I considered getting them tickets for the Doobie Brothers playing at Frederick Meijer Gardens.  Otherwise I might just do a girl's day w/my Mama and treat her to lunch and a movie or something.
  • My MIL likes hanging baskets, so we're getting her a couple of those.  She'll be visiting us next weekend, so that will work out. 

    I haven't quite decided what to do with my mom yet because we won't actually be seeing her.  I want to do something along the garden theme for her as well.  I might just send her a gift card for a local nursery.

  • What about a Fruit Bouquet? I gave one to my MIL for her b-day in January and she really liked it. I wouldn't mind one. 
  • My H and his mom are currently feuding.  Sad  This should make for a fun Mother's Day.

    I have no idea what I am getting for my mom. 

    And as for me, well, I will just take a new house.

  • I like the flower idea - my MIL freaking collects everything, so she is easy to buy for but she is such a pack rat I hate to add to the problem, KWIM?  She will probably get a charm for her Pandora bracelet that we bought her for Christmas a few years ago.

    I'd like a new lens for my camera, but since we just bought a house that is way out :P
