What are you getting/doing for your mom/mil for mother's day?

I am at a loss this year, we have done photo books, photo cards, pottery, framed pictures, grandmother's bracelets. I really like to try to keep it to something homemade (ie not expensive) and am at a loss for this year.  We will be having dinner with both of them on Mother's day.

My mom is getting a DSW gift card and my MIL is getting a giant teacup planter for her sun room.

I bought planters at AC Moore and we are painting them with my 2 daughters hand prints on them as the wings of butterflies. I am writing Happy Mother's Day 2011 on them in paint markers and putting the girls names on the bottom and their ages. Then I bought a spray sealer for them. Then I am going to Home Depot and buying plants to put in them. Another mom that I know did this last year and it was super cute!

similar to pps idea, you could do those cement stepping stone things that go in a garden -- they usually have the kits at Michaels or AC Moore. 

(confession, I bought one of these to do for my mother last year and we STILL haven't done it!)

oooh, that is a good one. I like the planter idea a lot, but this sounds like less work which is good this week. I did it for DH a few years ago, had not thought about it for the moms.  I forgot we actually have one that was a gift from SIL from Red Envelope that is still under my bed to do for our yard as well.
