Tell Us Tuesday

What are you buying, if anything, your mom for Mother's Day?

Re: Tell Us Tuesday

  • We take my mom out for a movie of her choice and to wherever she wants to eat.  This makes it much easier on us, since she never wants anything and hates the typical mother's day gifts!

  • Got my mom a Vera Bradley bag and some bath products from The Body Shop.  Got MIL the same, just different pattern on the bag and different scents.

  • We are taking MIL out to dinner and probably will give her some flowers (unless dh and his father go in on something but it doesn't sound like they will this year).
  • I bought her the Ulta Potion set a week or so ago

  • I wasn't going to do anything, but since my mom is going to be here I have to figure something out.

    We gave MIL a mug with DS footprint on it while she was here.

  • We've spent the past 3-4 weekends with my parents and the IL's, so we're just mailing a card to my mother, and we'll probably end some flowers and a card to MIL..  Nothing too exciting....

  • We made reservations to treat her to a nice brunch after church, we're getting her flowers, chocolates from her favorite candy shop, and some other small gift.

  • No idea yet for my mom - I'll probably hold off on giving her her gift until she's up here next week so I don't have to mail it. 

    For MIL - we almost always get her a Bordine's gift card - she loves it.

  • We are taking my mom and my Grandma out for brunch on Sunday.  I am not sure about my MIL yet.  I am thinking a gift card to buy a plant for her yard.

  • I'm using that groupon for The Body Shop to get my mom some stuff. For my step-mom, I got a cool candle holder that looks like a little cathedral tower (hard to explain).  Not sure yet about the MIL...maybe a gift card?

  • just a card.

  • I typically like to get my mom a nice hanging basket or planter, but the weather is so crappy this year, I am afraid it might be more work for her to have to take it in every night since it is still getting cold!

    MIL, it has been a range of things.  This year, some lotions from Bath and Body.

  • We got my mom a pandora charm for her bracelet and we're taking her out to lunch and to the zoo.  My DH is taking my MIL golfing since they're big golfers and we'll all go out to dinner. 
  • I'm planning to get my mom a pandora charm.  Vera Bradley is also suppose to have bracelets, so I'm going to see if they have any left

  • I plan on buying her the Potion Primer because it's something she would never spend the money on herself.  I also usually go in with my sister to get her some type of tree/bush/flowers she wants for her yard.
  • We're getting my MIL an Eliana-themed photo gift.
  • We bought her this personalized lawn stake from Personalization Mall - it has like your address and initial on it, it's pretty nice and something my mom will totally be into.

  • I took her to see Les Miserables last month as an understanding that it was her mothers day gift. 

    I do need to get to Target today to pick up send cards to send her from me and then one from P too.

  • We always get flowers for my mom & grandmas and usually for MIL as well.  My mom will also be getting a spa gift card, but that's because we're celebrating her birthday on the same day.

  • Probably just flowers... same for my MIL.  It's my birthday so we might not see anyone that day. I think I might pull the first mothers day/birthday card and just spend it hanging with my hubby and dd.

  • I took MIL to a Pampered Chef party and bought her a few things.  She loves to cook, but she is anti-social, so she never would be invited to one on her own.

    I have no idea what to get my mom.  Maybe a new shirt. Cal has leaked every possible body fluid on her.
