Borrowed Post... Mother's Day?

What are you buying your Mom/MIL's for Mother's Day?

 

 

MIL ???  thats DH's territory... if it were up to me I'd not get her anything (last year we gave her money to get a passport so she could come visit us - she's american & we're canadian - she just informed us last week that she had just got her enhanced licence.... so it took her a year to do this....  some mom!)

Step-MIL - I've bought a spa package for the two of us to enjoy together.

My mom - we'll be travelling to my hometown to visit her.  I have a jewellry party to attend on Saturday, I'm hoping to pick something nice out for her there.  Otherwise, she's renovating her bathroom, so I'll get her a gift card to help her splurge on her new bathtowels/accessories.

  • MIL: I have no idea. We'll have to pick something up on our way over to their place tomorrow. Obviously we're going to put a lot of thought into it. ::eyeroll::

    My step-mom: I have never recognized my step-mother on Mother's Day, and I don't intend to start.

    My mom: I sent her a card but I won't see her until next weekend, when she comes to visit for DS's birthday party. DH is taking Friday off work so my mom and I can go do something special together. Maybe something at a spa and lunch/tea somewhere??

  • Mom- just bought a Wii so we're getting her another remote and Wii Resort. My brother wanted to take charge of the gift this years so I let him. Mom will be excited for games for us to play together.

     MIL- we're going out for a nice brunch buffet and we'll pay for her meal.

  • I suggested getting both MIL and Mom a really nice bouquet of flowers, but DH wasn't that into the idea (he's not really one for gifts like that due to our tight budget). But then BIL bought some gift, I don't even know what, for MIL and asked DH if he wanted to split the price with him and their sister. Way to consult us AFTER you bought the gift, BIL! Anyway, DH has decided to put some money towards this, but now I don't know what to get my mom (he just decided this morning, leaving me no time to get something for my mom). ?I'll probably take her out for lunch or coffee sometime soon.
  • MIL got a picture of DD, DH, and I.  DH and SIL got her trees for her garden.

    Mom got a card and an antique set of elephant salt and pepper shakers.  She collects elephants and they were soo cute I had to get them.
