What are you getting your ma for Mother's Day?

[ejpint]

I know, cutting it close, but I'm like a dude when it comes to remembering this stuff.

My current plan is a spa gift card so she can get her toes done. Any other fun ideas you have for your moms?

I sent my mom and dad a joint mother's day/father's day gift-- a bose wave sound system.

I sent her a card from me and one from V and a Target gift card. I also went in on flowers with my sisters that we had sent to her work.

I got her a GC for a facial at the spa she goes to - she doesn't treat herself so it will be a nice surprise.

[Brie]

Southwest gift card so she can come visit.

A local Groupon-like site is offering half off kayak and canoe rentals, so I bought 2 of those. My parents like doing that kind of thing on occasion and will have some time on their hands this summer.

A really, really cute iphone case.

A soda stream

My mom's birthday was yesterday so she is getting a combo birthday/mother's day gift from us. I got her the Sephora perfume sampler.

[mbcdefg]

My mom's not girly at all, so stuff like spa days don't work for her.

I'll probably just get her some local chocolates she likes, flowers and scratch-off lotto tickets. She loves those damn scratchers.

Oldest DD (7), mom and I are going to the spa together to get pedicures. Younger DD (1) can join us in a few years.

[harrylauder]

a basket of blue/purple pansies (her favorite flower) and some bracelet charms with her grandkids' initials on them from etsy.

that's all i could come up with.

[Dusky]

I put together a "pool basket" for mine and included stuff like a new beach towel, a water proof tote bag, etc.

We're going on a boat ride around Manhattan tomorrow night. There will be live music and alcohol, and it is benefitting an organization that we both support.

[Velvetshady]

Chocolate-covered strawberries and cookies.

[flygirl22]

I'm getting my mom a camera, apparently they lost theirs and they are going on their first out of the country vacation NEXT week.

MIL... Haven't decided, and DH is completely unhelpful. I'm thinking Spa or Restaurant GC, leaning toward Restaurant.

[NinaSimone]

A new cell phone, her very first smartphone.

[FrozenSunshine]

A card. I'm going to see her later in the month.

I always do the same thing: a card, flowers, and a box of her favorite breakfast pastries. We've never really gone overboard for MD/FD in our family.

[georgeharrison]

My sister and I went in on some room enfuser deodorizer something or rather. My sister has one and my mom really likes it, I guess. I also got my mom a little rose plant, and we are going to brunch on Sunday.

[Deleted]

We sent my MIL a gift card to PF Changs, which is her favorite restaurant.

My sister and I are taking my mom out to brunch on Sunday. We are also giving her jewelry, but my sister picks it out at work and wraps it (she is a buyer for a jewelry store) so I never see jewelry gifts before we give it to her.

In the past I have given her GC for massages and mani/pedis, books, and gift certificates to her favorite restaurants.

I just ordered my MIL flowers. She is in the hospital now, so I am having them delivered Monday.

[bunch]

At her request, a photo canvas of a picture of us.

[quickstepstar]

A Harry & David basket. My mom loves those pears.

[KaraOrNot]

I got her a gift card for gas (she is super broke!) and a new purse.

[SJ]

I sent flowers to her at work today as I will be out of town on Sunday.

I hate getting flowers at work but it is right up her alley and it went over very well.

MIL is getting a card.

[megs193]

I sent my mom a gift card to barnes and noble. She loves reading but she has a nook so I couldn't buy her books. In her card I sent her 5 book recommendations.

We are getting my MIL a stylus and an itunes gift card. She just got an iPad so we figured this would come in handy plus we just celebrated her 60th b-day and are completely out of ideas.

[otowngirl]

I'm taking her and MIL to a fancy brunch when my mom comes into town next weekend (MIL is local).
