Mothers - anything in particular you have your eyes on that you really want? Or are you getting your momma anything special ?
I have my eye on a MK Wristlet or even just a card would be nice. My kids fathers aren't in the picture so I probably won't even get a card lol but my boyfriend said he wanted to surprise me with something so we shall see. My mom doesn't want anything but I got her cards from me & the kids. I also was thinking of a bouquet of flowers.

I bought my mom a new kettle! Already gave it to her because she is in Costa Rica until the 20th. She is the type who I will buy her nice makeup or perfume and it just sits there unused. She was with me when I bought the kettle and she freaked out and wanted to leave because she didn't want me to spend $30.00 on her.

My mom knows saying, "Don't buy me anything!" is useless, so I told her to tell me what she really wants. She asked me to buy Revolution, the flea/tick medication for cats and dogs. It's like $50 a box, so it's not something she can buy super easily. So I bought her a box for the cats and one for the dogs. I felt so weird doing it for Mother's Day, but it's what she really wanted lol.

My mom is not girly AT ALL so all the stuff i think would be nice she doesnt get into. She never says she wants anything, ever. So I think flowers are a sweet gesture.

I send snack baskets with fruit from Harry and David. My mom doesn't want "things" but it's something she can enjoy and doesn't take up space after it's eaten

My mom is too the same way, never wants me to get her anything and is always happy with just a phone call to wish her a Happy Mother's Day. My personally favorite type gifts from my kids who are 14 and 10 is when my 10yr old daughter makes me her own special Mother's Day card! =D

My mom is the same way, she doesn't go for the typical flowers and candy etc. My sister and I both chipped in to foster an orphan infant elephant for her. She LOVES animals, especially elephants, so I hope she'll love it.

Wow, I want to do that now! So cool!
EDIT: I'm not sure where you guys did yours at, but I just googled and came up with Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. The stories and photos of the elephants and rhinos are so touching that I'm actually crying a little! I'm "fostering" one right now! For $50, you really can't beat that. We all spend that on lotion easily lol. Anyway, thanks for bringing up that we could do something like this because I'm really happy to get to do it!

For some reason I was thinking it would be like $300, but as you said I spend $50 on lotions all the time so it would be nice to do something like this.

Yes, this is the website that we fostered through. My sister and I did some research and they are most definitely legit. I had my kids look through the elephants available and pick the one they wanted to foster for their grandma... it's so sweet! It makes me happy that some of you are thinking of doing it! It's really a great thing

Well this year has been a very hard year for me and my mother so I plan on doing something really special for her. This year is the first year we are celebrating Mother's Day without my grandmother. I'm really excited for tomorrow because I have been working my butt of to be able to give my mom the best day I can give her. I plan on taking her to a nice brunch (she never gets to go out to eat). Then, were going to the movies to see The Other Women. After that, were going to sephora and ulta I'm giving her a nice bit of cash to spend on whatever she wants. Next I'm taking her to get a mani pedi and then cooking her dinner when we get back to her house. And I'm staying the night!! I'm really excited
