To ask if £20 is an okay amount to spend on Mother's Day?

[LilacBearberry]

Does it seem like not enough?

Sounds fine to me.

I don't get anything from my dcs as I don't "do" mothers day. But £20 seems fair.

I get what I can afford or that I like. Never gone extravagant to be honest. She norm wants an M&S voucher.. She's not into jewellery or make up or treats. Teddies etc are dust collectors.. She is Just is more of a :have what she needs person.. Or often likes something for the home.

This yr. I've got as far as buying the cards.. But due dc2 tomorrow, no. Sign yet, so maybe that will be a mothers day gift.. Her grandchild lmao.
But in all. Honesty I said once baby born we'll go out and she can chose something she wants and maybe some lunch or something

It's plenty, I will be getting a handful of daffodils and a card for dc dgm.
It's the gesture that counts.

I'd be mortified if my dd spent that much on me.
Give me your time and your home made card.

Well I wouldn’t really like DS to spend £20 on me but I don’t think he would anyway! He was very proud of his Christmas presents for me, DH and MIL - 3 books for £10from Amazon! Takes care of his pennies.

Neither he nor DH are particularly demonstrative so without a push nothing will happen. And I’m not going to push.

What I would be happy with is a card, a hug and lunch out. But DH is going away on business and leaves at lunch time on Sunday.

My DC don't get me anything, at my request. It's ridiculous commercialisation, and there's ways you can show people they're appreciated all through the year. But reading this thread, I begin to understand why DIL was so shocked.
