Gift for mom/MIL?

PennyLane26PennyLane26 member
in Success after IF

I am still struggling with PP pre-E. I'm lucky that Grace is such an easy baby! They've tried changing up my BP meds, but my appt on Friday didn't go we'll so the OB told me that I have to continue recruit others to take care of the baby at night while I sleep.

My mom and MIL have been amazing, DH takes weekends nights and our moms have been sharing week nights. 

Grace is the first grandchild for both mom and MIL. Especially because they have been so helpful I'd like to get them something really special for Mother's Day.

I usually give jewelry, so I'd like to avoid that. Any ideas? TIA!

    I also think a spa day would be a great gift.  Otherwise do either of them have any hobbies?  You could always get them a gift card of some sort for that as well.  Or even a GC to a favorite restaurant, tickets to a play or concert if they are into that kind of thing, a membership for a wine of the month club, etc etc.    

    Hit up Pinterest for some ideas and make a cute card with Grace's footprints on it or something too ;)  That's always a big hit with the grand folks in our family.

    Or grandmas always love photos. :) Maybe a double frame with her photo in one side and footprints on the other?

    I hope you start to feel better quickly!
