What are you getting for your mom/MIL/grandma/mom figure in your life?
If you're a mom or mom-to-be, what are you hoping to receive?

I got my mom some B&BW hand soaps, and lotto scratchers. I don't know what else to get ... she just got a new swimming pool installed so any suggestions for a good pool accessory?
I am taking my mom for a hair appointment, a pedi and to a cute little bookstore I found close by my house. We also got her a plane ticket so she we be here with the family in Texas for the next month.
I'm not sure what I'm going to get my mom. We keep it relatively simple.
As for what I want? I don't know. These past 6 weeks w/ DHs job has SUCKED and I'm feeling really burnt out. I honestly just want something, anything that says "You're doing great" from him. He's WONDERFUL when he's home - I can't knock that. But he's hardly been home and it's just getting old.
I got my mom a pair of flipsidez flip flops that say "follow me" on one and "bring beer" on the other (on the bottoms for sand impressions). We're going to the outlet mall Saturday so I'll probably buy her a shirt too.
DH is taking his mom to lunch. I'll probably get my grandma a hanging flower basket.
DH is having DS surprise me with a lunch out, just the 2 of us. DS is 10 and DH is giving him the cash and taught him how to handle the tip. He's super excited to surprise me. I think they'll also get me a new bottle of perfume because mine broke.

1. Where did you get the flip flops?
2. That lunch plan is so cute!!!
I bought them on Amazon, but the flipsidez website has a ton of options. There are some really cute ones. They're about $25. You can also make custom ones.

I got my mom a crab tote and makeup bag from sloane ranger, they're so cute. They have a beach house on the Chesapeake in MD, so crabs are perfect. I want the swell for target crab water bottle to go with it but it's sold out online and I can't find it in store
I'm treating my mom, MIL, and favorite aunt to a girls night out at the end of the month.
I think my MIL is replacing my broken Fitbit as a Mother's Day gift to me! Yay! And I asked DH for a new iPod shuffle for exercising. Mine hasn't held a charge longer than a couple hours since I accidentally washed and dried it.
I got my MIL the Doc Martens with the Union Jack flag on the toes because she kicks ass.
I'm putting together a "Made in MI" basket of food and treats for my own mom (Pom and konapoppy know what I'm talking about since they've received similar baskets from me.)
Both sets of parents are downsizing/moving so they don't want any new things. We got each Mom a new framed portrait of Stinkerbelle. The in-laws are staying with us for the weekend (they live in Florida) and are giving us a night out where they will baby-sit Stinkerbelle. We are having a cook out with everyone here.
We decided to send my mom and MIL Shari's berries. We're also planning on taking my mom out to dinner. I'm not sure if we will end up taking MIL out because she is driving down for another event and I'm not sure if she will end up carpooling with other family members. We aren't sure how to navigate the "we would love to take you out for dinner, but we don't want to have to spend time with or pay for the meals of the people that you may be carpooling with" situation.
I decided to send myself Shari's Berries from my dogs.
MIL is getting flowers and my mom is getting flowers and a mounted print of my daughter. My H left things up to me, and my mom's birthday is soon, so she got a little something extra.
My mom is getting a pendant that C picked out and a grocery store gift card us.
As for me, we're going to A Day Out with Thomas with my BFF's family. Should be a fun day. I'm sure my husband will have C make me something to open when I wake up too.
We got my mom and MIL the same Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory gift boxes from Wine Country Gift Baskets. They will be delivered on Friday. Nobody needs more stuff, consumables work best. And who doesn't love a little bit of chocolate?
H and I don't really do gifts for Mother's Day/Father's Day. I'm hoping for breakfast out and maybe H can make something yummy on the grill that night.
