Success after IF
What are you getting your mom (mil) for Mother's Day?
I am running out of ideas. I usually get the frames with photos of the kids, but I don't have any good recent pics right now. I did jewelry for the holidays and birthdays, so I am at a loss.
Any ideas would be appreciated!

Re: What are you getting your mom (mil) for Mother's Day?
I am going to try and do "Nana" spelled out in pictures and "Mamaw" for my mom.
We did stepping stones when they were babies and those have been their favorite gifts. I have one in my garden and I love it!
We also made bags one time with their handprints, she carries that everyday still.

"Someday we will look at our babies and know it will be worth it. If it was easy, we would not have had our babies, the babies we were meant to have." From Amy052006
We've told them we are trying to get them a grandson! So, this year they are just getting cards. We just don't have extra money to throw at Mother's Day this year.
ETA: We usually get them flowers and a gift card. They are both out of state and that's just easier to send.
My MIL needs to get gifts so we are giving her a phone (for her house) that she asked for and some candy. My mom (and dad) is getting a family photo shoot that will actually be in June and will take care of Mother's Day and Father's Day for my sister and I. Whew.
Would they like a candle or nice bath products? What about a pretty new umbrella? Nice pajama's (I've found great one for $20ish at TJ Maxx)
We got all the moms/grandmom's an accordion book of pictures - nothing fancy just random pics we've been taking the last few months. Good for the grandma's who don't have smart phones to show off pictures to their friends.

A phone call and a card if they are lucky. I don't have a good relationship with my mother, she can't stand when people are happy especially when it is her own children. When Hallmark makes a card that says "Thanks for not aborting me" then she'll get one. I do remember last year looking at the cards and they were all the "You are so wonderful, blah blah, blah" and I just couldn't get her one. It would've been a blatent lie and I just couldn't.
My MIL is BSC and super passive-aggressive to the point of my pacifist husband growing a pair and even calling her out on her lies. He's in charge of getting her a card and if he forgets oops.
I once had a picture until the trolls showed up.

We got Mom and MIL each a customized frame with a pic of DD, and they each get flowers. They both live out of state, so we ususally do flowers or plant.
I do like the idea of the accordian thing...it's cute! I also like those necklaces you can get on etsy with the grandchildren's names on it, but it might be cutting it a little close for this weekend.
