I keep seeing the love pop cards showing up in my ads. Most of the bouquet options are sold out but they have a lot of other interesting choices. We may do that, or just homemade cards.

I ordered some of those the other day - they are so pretty! I sent my mom the cardinal one just because last week.

My mom loves barnes and noble - so I'll send her a GC to BN - she downloads the books online and probably some flowers.

MIL - need to talk with DH but probably flowers as well. we would take her to brunch - but...

I'm thinking of ordering edible arrangements for my mom. I may talk DH into doing the same for his mom.

My MIL stresses out if anyone buys her things, but she’s ok accepting payment for services. I don’t really understand it, but she quietly accepts her kids paying for things like her cable, phone, etc, or for her interior painting or her yard service; she just doesn’t acknowledge that as a gift.

So H and his siblings discuss which kid will pay for which services (more or less proportionate to incomes), while we all engage in this charade that we never get her gifts. It’s weird.

My mom is really missing pedicures, so I got her a couple of foot masks, a bottle of lotion, and some new flip flops. Not the same, but I hope she enjoys it.

I bought three bouquets last night. Many are in stock again!

My mom wants a fitness tracker. I just ordered her purple versa lite and a scale since the price was so good. I need to find something for MIL and SIL.

My mom lives on a marsh and loves watching the wildlife. So I wanted to get her some nice binoculars with stabilization because that is my favorite feature on ours. HOLY FUCK binoculars are expensive!

for my mom: she's been collecting Rae Dunn stuff, and she goes by Mimi as her grandma name. there is a Rae Dunn kitchen canister called "Mimi's Kisses" that she wants. My sisters and I ordered one for her.

stepmom: probably flowers and a call. it's what we usually do.

my grandmothers will get a call like usual.

MIL: card and a call. normally we take her out for lunch after church but I don't know if restaurants will be open by then (doubtful, and not a good idea anyway).

I had a collage made of pictures we took when we visited at Christmas. I bought a frame and mailed it to my MIL. She is always complaining she has no pictures of us, so there you go.

Wish I could send my mom something

I am in love with that squirrel feeder!! My Mom does not have a fence though... you think it would work okay on a tree?

I’m getting note cards for my mom because she’s been sending letters out more and can’t go to the store to get some herself. She also hates when we spend to much money so it’s perfect.

We were talking yesterday and I mentioned that we had made English muffin bread, and she said that she had loved visiting an aunt as a kid because she had always had it in the freezer ready to bring out with homemade jam for a snack. So I think we'll bake her a couple loaves and drop them off with homemade cards.
