Mother's Day - Gift Ideas

[spa]

While it is still early, if I want to order something from Etsy I would have to do it soon, do you guys have gift ideas for your Moms, MILs, or cute stuff you have gotten over the years? 

My mom struggles this time of year since it is near the anniversary of her mothers death and she went into a deep depression for almost 2 years afterwards. Also her diabetes is not going well with the medicine making her sick and she has to take time off work, so I wanted to try to do something special. 

Thanks in advance!

Our family just always goes out to eat and spend time together.

I usually just send my Mom flowers because she loves having fresh flowers in the house.

ditto this - my sister and I usually take my mom out for something like Afternoon Tea (which we all love), we're trying a new place this year in Queen Anne

Her birthday is also that week so I do gifts for that instead, working on those ideas now

I've been trying to track down something signed by my late grandfather, to get something like this made for my mom (he died when she was little).

I'm in the flower camp - I always get my mom flowers. She loves hanging plants and it has been a few years since I've gotten her one, so I may get one for her this year.

Spending time together camp. This year we're doing pedicures and going to a belly dance show.

Thanks hopefully I can spend time with her, but MIL gets uber jealous and it is just a mess. Maybe we will go to the spa before Mother's day and get scrubs or something

ugh, I never know what to do for my MIL (they live in another state too). I feel badly we didn't even send birthday presents this year, although H and I are responsible for our own parents, so that's on him to decide. Sometimes I just feel like saying "JUST TAKE THE STUPID FLOWERS AND ENJOY THEM!"
