Mother's Day gifts

Normally I have no trouble knowing what to get my Mom.  But this year I can't really think of anything.  So what is everyone getting their Mom?

Re: Mother's Day gifts

  • I normally get her the shea butter handcream from L'Occitane and take her out for lunch or dinner.  This year it will probably be the same.
    Matt loves Munkii!!!
  • My Mom's been complaining about working too hard lately and that she needs to relax more, so while I can't cut down her workload, I did make her a pair of slipper socks that are strictly for relaxing.  I put a picture of them up on my blog.  That probably doesn't help you any, but relaxation or spa inspired ideas are usually well received.

    We also did church and brunch with her yesterday, since she's going to be visiting her sister next weekend.

  • I took my mom out clothes shopping yesterday.  She isn't confident in her fashion sense, so she likes it when I help her put together cute new outfits.  So we went shopping and she got a bunch of new clothes for the spring & summer.  I feel like I do this for her every year, and I feel bad about that, but she said she loves it because she never buys herself new clothes and she loves getting stylish stuff, and she loves the girl time. :)

  • Took my mom to the Melting Pot on Saturday, which she loves.

    This upcoming weekend we'll be at the in-laws, continuing to paint the hallways and bedrooms.  Since we're paying for the supplies and doing the work, it's kind of our Mother's Day gift to MIL.  I'll also make a nice dinner while I'm there.

  • We got each of our moms a photo book of our wedding pictures.  They turned out very nice and I think they'll love them Smile

     

  • My mom wanted the new Carol Burnett autobiography so...that is what she got :). I usually buy her something for her I Love Lucy collection, but this is what she requested this year.
  • I have no clue what to get my mom.  She was over last night and I asked her what she wanted to do.  She didn't know so I suggested we go booze it up at a winery and go to some new antique shops.  She was down. 
  • My mom and dad are adding onto their patio for a woodfired hot-tub (sooo cool - can't wait to see it all put together) and she wanted some mood lighting.  My sisters and I ended up searching in our respective 3 states for nice torches in our price range to no avail.  Ended up getting shepherd hooks and nice lanterns to hang at each corner. 
  • This year, we did a combo for my mom and stepdad... we got them tickets to see the Eagles in concert, playing in Busch Stadium this summer.  It's a pretty big gift from us, so we are calling it a combo gift for his bday in April, Mothers day in May, her bday and Fathers day in June. :)

  • Flowers. Cheesy, i know, but they always make me smile. I'm dropping them off Thursday, since I'll be flying back from Vegas Sunday.
  • Thanks for the inspiration ladies!

  • I am taking my mom and sister to brunch and then we are going to the antique show which I am excited about. My mom has never been and has always wanted to go. I don't know if I am getting her a "gift" persay because she always she complains she has to much stuff and she dosen't know what to do with anything.
