What are you buying your DM for Mothers Day?

[newnameforthehousehunt]

My own DM is forever on a diet so anything edible is out. I may get the classic bunch of flowers tbh unless I can think of anything cool and original so hoping for some ideas from you lot please

A pretty personalised plant pot thing - not round but long so you can put small pots in it in a row. There’s a name for that which escapes me!

A bunch of daffs and some vegan truffles.

As a mom of 4 I love flowers.
I've already got an early present and had a peak (i know ) it's a candle in a glass- and I'm happy for of such a lovely gift.
It's the thought that counts though.

An orchid in a pot, she loves orchids.

A knock off Oodie, saves a fortune in gas so it'll be the gift that keeps on giving 🤣

Mine’s just having a flower delivery. She won’t go anywhere because of covid and is quite fussy about gifts. I’m recovering from covid and haven’t got the energy to be more imaginative at the moment.

Pot plant as normal. Hopefully dd2 will send me flowers, chance of dd1 bothering is zero

An LED rechargeable book light.

A big basket of fruit. She's in a care home and says it's all lovely, she just wishes she had more fruit to eat when she wants.

Bottle of merlot for my mum.

Afternoon tea for one delivered to her front door by a local company. I used them before and she loved it.

My mum enjoys a pampering so a voucher for a facial at a local beauty salon.

nothing this year as I can't afford to. I painted a daffodil on a card and will give her that.

The other year I bought her a joke Tesco value card and a Tesco value wine bottle label that I stuck onto a bottle of Merlot. She thought that was funny.

I'm buying her a particular brand of petite leggings. I bought her some as part of her Christmas present as she would never spend that money herself on casual or what she calls "around the house clothes" but she is loving them so she's getting another pair in a different colour

My Mum now dead, so bouquet to cemetery. Will get bouquet and chocolates for mil too.

This year I'm going with mother's day video and a mosaic kit, it's something like this- www.amazon.com/Midwest-Products-Daisy-Stepping-Craftwork/dp/B005571ZE8/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=mosaic+kits&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1647851878&sr=8-2

Mother in law, bottle of Merlot, bunch of flowers, framed photo of her and DS together.
Not sure about my own mother, she’s tricky to buy for…
Doesn’t drink
Doesn’t wear jewellery
Very picky about clothes
Strange relationship with food so no chocolates or anything
Currently between houses (sort of) so household anything is no good
V outdoorsy/horsey but has everything she could possibly need for that side
No other hobbies as such
Certainly not into beauty/pampering stuff
What a headache 😂

I've bought my mum thick socks and a fake Oodie as she feels the cold

An Oodie here too, with an avocado print , a nice planter with plant and some Ferrero Rocher which she loves

My mum will be getting Spring flowers and Secret Life of Being a Vet book.

I usually go with flowers/plant but this year I got her a really cardigan in the marks and Spencer sale. She never treats herself to anything new ,so I hope she likes it.

My mum has insisted we don't spend a penny on her but make a donation to Red Cross for what we would have spent, I've asked the same from my son.

Box of chocs from Hotel Chocolate. She loves them so it's an easy win.

I’m nc with my mother but I bought my darling mil a picture in a frame,a bookmark with 3 pictures of her granddaughters on it,a coaster and will send flowers

She knows it’s me buying it all-her son would send a card but she’s more like a mum to me than my own mother and I love choosing stuff for her

I let DH look after getting his mum something and I look after getting my mum something.

I've arranged for a flower arrangement to be delivered earlier than Mother's day for her (just so I know they have been delivered and shouldn't be in the mad rush for delivery on Saturday), I've bought her a cushion as well (as she enjoys sitting down watching telly). I'll drop the cushion over to her at some point during the week too.

A baby tree for her garden (that she asked for!) and some skincare as a surprise. She’s also coming here for Sunday dinner as we will be having mil for lunch.
My dbro makes no effort for Mother’s Day and my dsis is broke so I’ll put her name on the card
