(another) mothers day poll(ish)

What are you getting/doing for your mom/mil
Multiple IVFs=TWINS! Due FEB 5, 2012!! Born @33W4D Lilypie Premature Baby tickers

Re: (another) mothers day poll(ish)

  • Probably just a card and flowers for my mom, and a card and very small gift (something scrapbooking related) for MIL. Don't have a big budget this year...
  • We're celebrating actual Mothers' Day with MIL. We'll get her a card and maybe a gift card or flowers. We'll spend brunch or dinner with her. We'll spend a couple of days the following week with my mom when we're on a trip to L.A. We'll do the same for her and take her out for dinner probably.
  • This is what I am getting in honor of my mom:

  • we will not be doing anything on mother's day. well, I might be spending the day crying, not a mother and I don't have one. MIL is out of town until the 10th and Dh still hasn't thought of anything....which is giving me anxiety!!

  • We bought picture frames and are going to get some of our newborn pictures printed and put those in there. For MIL, I have no clue.

    (((HUGS))) I'm sorry. I wouldn't drive yourself crazy trying to find the perfect thing. Any effort should be appreciated.
  • probably a card and some flowers .. i have to coordinate w/ my sister about what to do ...

  • Hopefully I will be giving my mom a grandchild, but the current plan is a card and her favorite flowers. MIL is deceased.

  • possibly a nice email.  living so far away makes it hard to coordinate gifts or even a phone call.  ehh, hopefully it's the thought that counts.
  • See my other post. Trying to figure out what we can mail to mil without breaking the bank. Hopefully a gift card to a chain restaurant that we can buy down here.

    As for my mom, a card and a small donation to Heifer International. 

    (The difference makes me giggle. My anti-consumerist mom gets a donation for a charity she loves. Dh's not only gets something non-local, but it's got to be big national chain.)

  • MIL, GMIL, and my aunts all got photo cards of C. MIL also got a small gift bag of Purell bottles that we called the "gift of health" - she tutors kids and is always picking up their colds etc.

  • MIL, Step-MIL and my mom are all getting Kohl's gift cards from us and See's Candies gift certificates from the kids. We usually try to do something a little more personal and thoughtful but we ran out of time this year since we've been so busy with the new babies.
