What Do You Want for Mother's Day?

[Saudade]

To move into my house. But that doesn't help you.

[Deleted]

Mostly sleep. And really good brunch. I'm good to go on sentimental jewelry.

[anna7602]

Sleep. So much sleep!

[mpc]

A BFP. Also an unhelpful answer.

I would love jewelry.

[Deleted]

I think I would like some sort of mom jewelry but I kind of doubt my husband will do anything.

[MadamePresident]

my Mother's Day wish is always to be the dad.

DH is sending me on a girls trip Mother's Day weekend. We'll be on the beach in FL Fri-Sat and then will be home by 11am on Sunday morning so that the spoiling can continue. I want a necklace that I'll direct him toward, but I also plan to do a little shopping on my trip. (It's a white enamel monogram necklace with gold writing and gold chain)

I could care less about my birthday or Christmas, but Mother's Day is a holiday where I don't mind being spoiled lavishly, lol.

The same 3 couples are doing a guys trip for Father's Day weekend and the guys will be home the same time on Father's Day morning. I'm hoping that this becomes a new tradition.

For our moms, I am doing a photo collage travel mug.

Either 3 small/thin stackable eternity bands with the kid's birthstones or one alternating one (haven't decided yet) and some time to myself to sleep or watch trashy tv.

[Willis Jackson]

Breakfast in bed and a day to myself.

It's what I want (and get) every year.

[charlotteandwilbur]

I would really love to have my baby (I like the sound of a 5-10-15 birthday!) but if that doesn't pan out, I'll take lavish gifts.

[hermione]

A pair of cute cheap summery earrings that I've had on my wish list forever. Something handmade by the kid.

I am looking for gift ideas for people.

Also, this made me lol (in a fun way). Who are these people that buy you gifts for Mother's Day other than your husband and kid(s)?

[cincodemayo]

A card with genuine compliments in it.
A bottle of wine.

[Yankees21]

Something handmade/personal. Also H, his dad, and brother make brunch every year for H's mom, grandma, me, and my SIL which is nice.

[ssmjlm]

I asked for a new birdfeeder.

We get back from Disney the day before, so really, there will be no celebrating going on b/c we'll all be exhausted.

[Deleted]

There's a giant cow picture on Grandin Road that H will be ordering for Mother's Day/My Birthday.
I also want some outdoor patio stuff.

Probably not helpful.

[Brie]

For nobody to touch me for at least an hour.

Also, new bedroom furniture including an upgrade to a king bed (see above).

[waterchurch]

A massage would be nice. We'll be out of state attending a wedding, which is on mother's day. So maybe I'll get a different weekend to celebrate.

[runblondie26]

A nice trip somewhere. DH is working on getting days off for himself and childcare arrangements to make it happen.

[Jalapeñomel]

Toms Atom flats

Isotonic pillow

[lilles]

Sleeeeeeeeeeep

I want more nursing shirts. I have plenty of nursing bras and tanks, but only two nursing-friendly shirts. They're the Milk brand, I love them!

If we can afford it, for Mother's Day or my birthday I'd like to have my stacking birthstone rings fixed. The center stone (DS's birthstone) fell out several months ago

I am lobbying hard for a king-sized bed, even though it means that absolutely nothing else will fit in our bedroom. Side tables are overrated, anyway. 

[pinotgrig]

Something homemade from G
For G to wear a cute Mother's Day onesie (cheesy, I know)
Jewelry - I've got my eye on a necklace on etsy with the coordinates of the hospital he was born at engraved on it

[badtzmaru22]

We are going to be in my hometown bc my BFF's wedding is the day before. I usually ask for DH to take DD out to breakfast (because he loves it, and I don't, lol) so I can sleep, and then come get me and we go take a photo by the lake. This year, we have DS as well, so my photo will take place, but be delayed.

Gift ideas: for our moms, we order flowers on Pro flowers to be delivered a few days in advance. Boring, but too bad.

What I don't want is a guilt trip to go see my mil, who lives an hour-ish from where we'll be. Hopefully DH will manage to keep his mouth shut, so they won't even know we're in the area. (We live 7hrs away).

[DarcyLongfellow]

I want Jack Rogers sandals. I know they're not favorites of some on here, but I live in preppy land, and I WANT. I'll probably get them, but that also probably doesn't help you.

I also always want to just have a day to myself, but that's never going to happen. DH gets all -- "but don't you want to spend the day with your CHILDREN!?" My mom will be here this year, so that will be fun.

As far as ideas for others, I'll probably get my MIL something for her Pandora necklace. Not sure about my mom -- maybe fancy makeup, which she likes but never buys for herself.

[AlpineSlide]

DH will do nothing. I'll probably go out for breakfast or lunch with just DS. I'll probably also order something from my wishlist, maybe makeup.

[auntie]

To be alone in my own home- with nobody asking for anything for the better part of the day would be bliss.

[niq]

msniq wants brunch and a pedicure.

I am giving up on this whole "imma find something thoughtful and distinct" nonsense and just giving the lady what she wants.

We did this in our old house. Bought the king, had to take out the end tables, and couldn't even open the door all the way. Totally worth it.
