Just a general chat about what gifts people received for Mother's Day?

I got some nice flowers and a bottle of Golden Dusk perfume by Sunnamusk.

I tell my children i only want a card, so this year i got 3 cards, a yankee candle and a lovely keyring. I saw 2 out of three children and got 2 out of three hugs so I’ve had a great day 😀

(mine are 24, 21 and 19)

My first single mother - Mother's Day has been overwhelming for some reason. I wasn't expecting to feel so emotional 😭 the kids both made me cards, I also got some hand made pottery which was lovely and Sunday morning hugs. I've just been so tearful.

Three really sweet cards and a bracelet (I chose it and dh paid) plus a trip to b&m 🤣🤣

Mine are 19 and 23 (boys), so gifts are a bit more adult…

I had flowers (all white ones, they know me so well!)

Jo Malone perfume and shower gel

‘stackers’ jewellery box layers

Clarins hand cream.

All lovely and thoughtful, but the best was the cards which had such lovely things written in them, I cried.

Chocs, wine, handmade cards from my DGC and a lovely lunch out with all the family. Best of all, my wonderful DIL wrote the most touching message in my card.

InterstellarDrifter · 19/03/2023 19:19

I got shower and bath stuff, book, chocolates and hugs Smile

A lovely, touching card
A text message
And a phone call
Well happy mum :)

MrMarkham · 19/03/2023 19:25

People get much more for Mother's Day than I do for my birthday, Jo Malone and Clarins, wow! I got some lovely cards and chocolates. But all I wanted was a cup of tea in bed and a lie in to be honest. Maybe next year 😂

Okunevo · 19/03/2023 19:27

A thoughtfully chosen card, not a pink flowery 'mum' one, one I like

2 lots of flowers, chocolates, a wispa bar, bubble bath, champagne, margarita, a candle, a fluffy hot water bottle, some biscuits, a home made card, two bought cards, McDonald’s breakfast, a cup of green tea and a long walk somewhere pretty. All courtesy of DC age 9, 10, 15, 17 plus DH and (allegedly) the 2 dogs!

Just cards. I'm grateful, but I always do more for everyone else so there's a twang of disappointment, although I'd never voice it.

DarkDarkNight · 19/03/2023 19:30

A school made card that reminds me of the cover of an album I like so is pretty cool, and my mum bought tulips, Thorntons chocs and a mug for my son to give me.

ivfbabymomma1 · 19/03/2023 19:32

I got a card off DS, a card from the dogs & a white company gift set thing

jackstini · 19/03/2023 19:32

Chocs, 'best mum ever' teddy, wooden heart with a nice saying, card with a lovely message in, 2 side tables I wanted, 2 raw steaks and some nice green veg ready for dinner 🤣

Happy Mothering Sunday to you all Flowers

Willowtre1 · 19/03/2023 19:32

Flowers and a box of guylian chocolates

onlythesparrow · 19/03/2023 19:33

Flowers, pyjamas (I love getting new pyjamas) and chocolate.

jays · 19/03/2023 19:34

Lovely flowers, a card with more than 2 words written in it which was amazing for my ds, some super cute soap and a candle he chose himself, a visit back from uni, a movie together where he fell asleep on me which was lovely, a genuine good laugh and a big pile of washing in an IKEA bag. 😂 bliss! My mum died not too long so a it was all greatly appreciated, I love my boy and I love being his mum, was a really nice day. I’ve missed him.

BoatsAndHoes · 19/03/2023 19:34

A bottle of Malbec and a bag of mini Reese's cups!

PamelaDawes · 19/03/2023 19:35

6 year old made a very sweet card.
Two Teen DS said happy Mothering Sunday.

DH is who ignored all my not so direct hints all week felt guilty and agreed to the purchase a large item for the garden I’ve been wanting and he’s been resisting. So a win.

Kids are lovely. I am happy.
