My Mom is always difficult to buy for, but jewellery is always welcome. And if I can’t find a piece that is special enough, a day out together, shopping, lunch, mani, pedi is usually the best 🙂

My Mom use to love gardening,especially planting flowers. She can’t get around as well anymore, so my brother, sister in law, my husband and myself and kids, are going to plant flowers for my Mom as a mothers day gift and surprise her.
My mother has requested we visit (from Dallas to Houston). That’s the best gift I could give her.
I really don’t. This is the first year my Mom is in a nursing home. I will probably go out to a brunch or something…
Thank you for the giveaway!

a day of doing chores for my mom!
if my mom was still alive i would buy her a rose bush. had bought her a few in past years and she got so much enjoyment of watching them bloom every year.

gift cards
My mom’s not much on Mother’s day. As long as she gets to enjoy the day in peace she’s happy
I really don’t as I am not a mother and my mom passed many years ago but I would make it personal.
I can’t get a better gift than I got last year: the birth of my daughter.
Flowers
No plans as of yet. I usually take my mom to dinner.
My mother is notoriously hard to shop for, because she’s super pragmatic — nothing that doesn’t have a purpose. Which makes whimsy and surprises difficult!
My mother is a gifted quilter, so I got her a quilt kit for Mother’s Day this year. Shh!
I got a journal that says “Mom, I love you because…” on the front.

Awwwww.
A gift certificate to a spa my mom likes, but wont pay for herself.

I don’t have any ideas for a special gift, but this year I get to actually spend time with my mom on Mother’s Day so I’m excited!
I’m still working on a gift for my wife; I’m thinking of taking her on a cruise in the fall.
Hopefully spending time with hubby and our girls. This year will be tough as it’s the first year for them without their mom as well as my first year without mine. :'(
It would be nice to take a nice long nap.
i think a good idea if the weather cooperates is to take her to a park for a picnic w/ the grandkids
We have a place near us where you can go and paint a picture. I think taking one of the classes there with mom would be a great Mother’s Day gift.
I don’t currently have any good ideas and this year my mom’s birthday is mothers day too so I have to get thinking quick
Amazon gift cards. That’s the best gift for any day! 😀
husbands…what your wifes really want is all those unstarted or 1/2 finished projects around the house done!!! So as a gift get things done!!
Rose bushes or other flowers to be planted in the ground make great gifts.
A $25 Amazon GC would be good 😉

Not yet, I need to hurry!
a manicure!
I always love pictures of our 4 year old grandson. also getting a manicure & pedicure is always nice!
No good ideas for me…
My mom has a lot of health problems so for mothers day i have a picture frame and on one side is a handprint of each of my girls and on the other side is a picture of them.

My mom loves plants so I’m getting her some nice flowers to plant in her yard.

I lost my mom many years ago so, no, I do not have Mother’s Day plans.

i like taking my mom out so she can get anything she wants!

Ideas, yes…..money? No
Give your mother something that speaks to her secret self rather than something practical (unless her secret self is practical!).
jewerly like a mommy stamped metal necklace, super affordable and personal.
For me? Yep….a day alone at my favorite coffee shop with enough money to actually buy my favorite drink (maybe 2) and a great book.
For my mom I do. I am sending her a bouquet and gift basket
I have a tree for my mom and I have no clue what I’m getting my mother-in-law.
I have a tree for my mom and I have no clue what I’m getting my mother-in-law.
Not really, no — I’ll probably just take my mom out to dinner or something. 🙂
cards and food gifts
I usually get her a gift card to her favorite restaurant that she can’t afford to go to very often.
I just do hanging flower baskets.
For small children – it helps if you can give them ideas on making crafts and the like to make for their Moms. Tell them that their Moms love things that they make themselves because its one of a kind.
No great ideas, but my mom always likes getting house slippers
No, I have run out of ideas. At one time, I bought books for my mother, but she now has such a large To-Be-Read stack that it would be silly.
Jewelry is always a good gift idea.
I am going to cook dinner with my mom on Mother’s Day.
Not really an original idea but a pedicure makes a great gift. It’s about the only thing I ever ask for as a gift. Thank you!

I like to give Gift Cards so the person can pick something that he/she likes.
Not really have any spectacular ideas… Don’t have any money so I think I just going to pamper her at home. 😉
A gift card for Mom’s favorite coffee place is a sure bet, especially if the gift card is accompanied by a bouquet of beautiful flowers and a handmade card, by a precious son or daughter!

a day spent kid free
relax and enjoy the day
Lunch at her favorite restaurant, but NOT on mother’s day.
My family is so spread out and so we don’t get to see each other very often. So a good surprise for any occasion is for one or more of us to show up without telling her we’re coming. That’s always a great gift.
My mom got a pretty flowering plant and we went to Chinese, her favorite.
Plants or flowers if she likes to garden.
I buy cold processed soaps, candles, and skincare products non stop, also make jewelry.
My gifts are always pretty much pampering gift baskets put together with all of these things.

A trip to space
My mom likes unusual decorative items. She collects salt & pepper shakers. So I guess an addition to a collection is an idea.
Fill a vase with colorful peices of paper(preferably 365) that have written on them good memories or things you like about your Mom. Tell her she’s to take put one peice of paper per day.
Flowers for the garden.
I enjoy getting flower to plant on my deck
My kids know I love roses, so instead of a bouquet, they gave me a rose bush!
my sister likes windchimes
scavenger hunt!
It’s nothing fancy…but I love being taken out for breakfast for mother’s day.
Our family dug up my Mom’s garden and put in some new top soil for her on Mother’s Day. We also gave her a couple of hanging plants.
One whole day of no cooking or cleaning and she loved it
I always cut my mom lilacs from our lilac bush. They’re her favorite and what makes it so special is there’s always a TON of bees around it and I’m allergic – so I’m kind of risking my life for it! haha
Unfortunately this year was the first year I didn’t need to think of a Mother’s Day gift for my mom, she passed in August.

Something from kids kreations with your childs drawing on it.
Let mommy sleep!
I love getting my mom personalized gifts from sites like Cafe Press — this year one gift I gave her was a coffee mug that I personalized with photos of her and the family.
If my mother and I were closer, I would by a pretty notebook and I would write her a letter. I would put the notebook somewhere in her house I know she would find it, and in the letter ask that she write me a letter.
If all went well, we’d have 6 letters or more from each other in there and we could learn more about each other. We could ask questions we might not be able to verbalize. Something we could just be ourselves in – with each other.
Mom’s favorite perfume always makes a great gift!
We took granny out to the drive in. Thank you
I would love to win this to put towards baby items I need come september.
