What are you getting your mom?

Re: Mother's Day Presents

  • Crap, I hadn't even thought about this.  Maybe a spa GC since its easy.

  • I usually just send mine a card and flowers.
  • So far I have gotten her customized garden markers off Etsy. I usually get her some kind of jewelry for holidays so I'll probably get her that too, though I did see some super cute gardening aprons on Etsy... might go that route instead this year. We'll see.

  • Damnit. Too bad we can't file this one under "I am getting you a grand kid" like I'm doing for DH for Father's Day. Lol
    Shit there goes my gift idea!

    I'm planning to start a photo album/grandma brag book for my mom and MIL. I will include copies of the ultrasound pictures and a gift certificate for the photographer who will do our maternity & newborn pictures. Then they can go through and pick out their favorite pictures to order.
  • I'll probably get her something grandma related though... she's been (im)patiently waiting to be a "Gigi" forever so I think she'd like it.

  • Artistic flower pots that we found on our vacation.
  • @mrsdbc that is cute! She likes little knick knacky kinda stuff. Nice find! :)

    Why not? It's not THAT far off. I'm due at the end of June and I'm planning to get my dad a picture frame for Father's Day. I'll put an US picture in it if LO hasn't arrived yet. Or like @sm623 suggested a brag book. I don't have a mom, but I'd do the same. And shouldn't we receive gifts? ;)

  • I will probably be getting my mom a Pandora charm and some flowers. Pandora bracelets are the absolute best gift to start for moms because you can fill up her bracelet with milestone charms! She will be getting a grandma related one this year :)
  • mom and MIL are getting pedicure GCs. as for me? I'm hoping to get a new handwoven baby wrap :)
  • Diamond candle and probably something else small.

  • My mom will probably get a GC for a mani/pedi and a new charm for her pandora bracelet.

    MIL is more of a homemade gift person. She doesn't care too much for jewelry, flowers, mani/pedi so I'm thinking of doing something with the kids and framing it for her.

    May sound unusual but my sister is my DDs godmother and helps us with LO's. If DH and I are working (DH does 24-72 hour shifts, I do 12's) she gets them ready for school, drops them off (2different schools), picks them up feeds them, and never ask for anything in return. She will be getting a Mother's Day present from us this year for being a wonderful help! Trying to figure out something for her. Kids are excited to surprise her.

  • I sorted through all the keepsake boxes I had in my parents' basement recently and found a mother's day craft/card I had made when I was maybe 9 years old. I'm giving that back to my mom this year :)

  • @tnd1218 I think that is so sweet of you to do something for your sister to thank her for all the help she gives you guys! So sweet that the kids will be involved in the gift, as well. :)

  • No one in mine or DH's family are huge gift people outside of Christmas, we have always been 'experience/spend time together' types, so I'll just be taking my mom to lunch.  
  • my mom and me are having a nice girls day!! were going to go for lunch on the beach and have a mani/pedi and probably some shopping!!! i love my mom!
  • last year I gave each of the moms a scentsy warmer and scent packs. they loved it! no clue this year
  • My mom's 60th is on 5/5, so my SIL and I are taking her out for a spa day, so probably nothing huge for Mother's Day. We will probably focus on getting her something from the grandkids, either something that says Nana, or plants for her garden...something along those lines.

  • What is the etiquette for Mother's Day presents? Besides Mom and MIL, am I supposed to get one for my SIL who just had a baby in October?

    We just do presents for our moms and something a bit smaller for my grandma.
  • Do FTM due in June celebrate Mother's Day? Idk if I'm actually considered a mom yet lol
