Mothers Day Plans???

[ShabbyNat]

Hi
I was just wondering what sort of things you all had planned for your mums on Mothers day, or what sort of presents you were buying them??!!
Im at a complete loss as to what to do or gift her!!<img loading="lazy" class="inline-flex mumsnet-emoji" alt="Blush" src="https://www.mumsnet.com/build/assets/blush-Brh13p-7.png"><img loading="lazy" class="inline-flex mumsnet-emoji" alt="Blush" src="https://www.mumsnet.com/build/assets/blush-Brh13p-7.png"> As my mum has got older-shes 70, 71 in June, shes been gradually getting harder & harder to buy for!! This year Ive not really got a lot of money to spend, so I was thinking of inviting her over-with my sister, for afternoon tea, to be joined by my 2 daughters-her granddaughters.
Ive not actually seen my mum or sister for a little while-a whole other story, but not had an argument or fallen out!! Im just asking for idea`s really

She gets flowers and a card, we'll pop in but not stay long. MIL has invited us forinch as her other child cancelled on her so we're the back up plan!

My husband will most likely be at work. I'll be at home with our son. Will be a normal Sunday (it's my birthday the day after and our wedding anniversary 10 days after so not doing anything).
Dh will go and see his mum when he can, probably with ds, and we will get her 2 cards and 2 presents, 1 from from us and 1 from our son (she isn't well so wouldn't want too many visitors). My mum will get nothing as we are non contact, we haven't had anything to do with each other for years, so nothing will change at all.

It will be a quieter Mother's Day this year. I usually arrange for all the family to come round and everyone contributes food/drink. However my mother is getting increasingly deaf (she won't admit it) and often gets lost in the freeflowing conversations so I'll just go alone and bring her card and flowers or a new houseplant, cook her some lunch and generally hang out/potter about in the garden if the weather is good.

I lost my mum 11 years ago so it's always a sad day for me but we still celebrate it.
DH always takes me and his mum out for lunch ( with our DS) and last year he got me a really lovely photo book of pictures of me and DS, a book he knew I'd like and flowers.
Plus he always sends his mum flowers.

thanks for that
I think I will just ask her over for afternoon tea, finger sandwiches, cake & tea, with a card & flowers/plant to take home[smile

Sounds fab. Hope you both have a lovely day. 🌹

I have stupidly invited my whole family over for food - i have never cooked a roast in my life (dp does all the Sunday roasts, Christmas dinners etc because he absolutely loves cooking and I hate it and he’s away that weekend) so I am now slightly panicking about what to cook dd2 suggested an afternoon tea which I think might be a winning idea. I am going to investigate some really fancy sandwich fillings, dd makes amazing macaroons and scones, I can make good sausage rolls etc. I might be able to redeem the day with vast amounts of booze
