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

[ginkgoleaf]

My mom is out of the country right now, so I sent an e-giftcard from Starbucks to her.

MIL is getting flowers.

We're not big Mother's Day/Father's Day celebration people.

I bought her this Kameleon Dragonfly pin with a sparkly black Swarovski crystal "jewel pop" for the center:

Dragonflies have special meaning to my mom since my Dad passed away in the fall. Long story, but this will be very meaningful.

MIL is getting some Chamilia beads for her Pandora-like bracelet.

An herb garden, which I still have to go plant. All the plants and the planter are sitting on my picnic table, taunting me every time I go outside. I'm thinking at this point I should just do it tomorrow.

We're all going out for lobster tomorrow. I got her a Kohl's gift card...normally, I buy her an outfit, but yesterday when we were shopping, she shot down 5 tops that I really thought were SO her...her tastes have clearly changed and I don't want to chance it.

I'm having DS make her a card because he writes the sweetest things. And DD has a card that opens into a certificate that she is coloring.

I got her an Edible Arrangement with lots of chocolate-dipped strawberries.

My parents made it very, very clear a couple of years ago that we are not to buy mothers day/fathers day gifts, so we usually just send a card.

My mom is coming to visit in 2 weeks for a scrapbooking weekend together, so I've bought a few things to give her then for scrapbooking. Last year we went to a workshop together and got a bunch of "free" goodies the first day, so I'm putting together something like that this year. It isn't just for mother's day but I am considering it celebrating mothers day.

A big 'ole hug through the phone.

Nothing.

We got MIL a card but she won't even be around.

[shell403b]

Flowers from me (blue lilies, they go w/ her kitchen) and a Chico's GC from E. My MIL has passed away but when she was alive, I used to get her fun Coach accessories, which she loved.

I get sad this time of year when I think about the fact that E will never get to meet her. That was her one regret--that she was in such poor health that she wouldn't get to meet her future grandchildren. Ugh, I gotta stop thinking about that--makes me teary.

FlowerBomb Perfume, a new Pandora bracelet (no charm style) and a Build-A-Bear from DD.

[yellowbrkrd]

MIL received flowers at work today. We are taking my mom out for dinner tomorrow night, she's also getting a gift card.

[cowboyjoe]

We did two dozen assorted roses for my mom, and yellow tulips for my MIL.

Tosa gave me a fantastic idea and got each mom a photo to canvas print of DS and the mom. It's kinda cheating but I know they will love it.

I just went out this evening and got my mom and MIL both beads for their bracelets. My mom has the one from Kay's and MIL has a Pandora. Neither of them had a bead that said Nana/Grandma, so that's what I got! I'm especially excited to give MIL hers. She got her bracelet as a gift from her sister and had told me that she'd probably never get anything else to put on it, so I think she'll appreciate it.

A phone call. I'm out of town.

[isabel]

A card and two gift cards (one for Starbucks, one for Amazon Kindle). She travels a lot for work, so those are two items that she often spends money on.

[vamoose]

Gift cards for a date for her and me to see a movie and get pedicures together. She is in a period of fired sobriety or I would have thrown in some tipsy mother daughter bonding time.

[katrana]

Having her over for brunch, then we are going to a local farm that is having a special event to come see all of the mama and baby farm animals! Very mm because moms get in free! ;D

A photo mug from Walmart with pics of DD on it. I also included my nephew, because I know my brother/SIL won't do shit.
