What are you getting your DM for Mother’s Day this year?

I’ve bought my mother a beautiful frame from M&S and I’ll get a photo printed slightly closer to the time. Not sure what else to get her to go with it. Maybe some flowers.

What are you getting for your DM for Mother’s Day?

She passed away suddenly last year and this year will be the first without 💔 so I've been thinking I'll maybe plant some seeds, some nice flowers for her

She lives two hours away so I usually send her flowers.

Really sorry to hear that @SugarPuffSandwiches planting some seeds sounds like a lovely idea.

I saw a lovely trinket today in a jewelers that I think mum might like, very ornate and it caught my eye so I think she might like that. Or is saw an ornate pretty fan that was also lovely online

I’ve bought my mum a travel set of l’occitane shower gels as she goes on a cruise soon and thought It would be nice to have a little luxury in the shower. Unfortunately they don’t look like they cost the £30 price tag but what does these days. I hope she likes them.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Both sound like a lovely idea. ❤️

A card if she's lucky! I don't even know when it is.

no idea

My mum died recently but I used to always get flowers and perfume for her

So sorry to hear this, mine did too a few months back so know how you feel.
I used to always buy her flowers or maybe a necklace but this year I'm wanting to plant some seeds of some pretty flowers. To feel like I'm still getting her something, being "with" her doing something so to speak.

This will be my second year without my mum. It’s horrible, losing your mum is somehow a whole different level of grief. I have a rose garden in a corner of my garden that I planted for her, her ashes are scattered there. She has a bench and a small garden table. I’ll put a bunch of her favourite spring flowers there and have a cuppa with her as I often do.
on a brighter note, my eldest dd has bought tickets for her and me to visit the Tower of London followed by a three course meal which I’m really excited about.

This is what I'm wanting to do this year, get outside sorted out so that I have somewhere to sit and remember her with some flowers and seating.
(Still feels bizarre writing it out, still can't compute on some level that she's not here with it happening so unexpectedly and suddenly last year)

A card, as usual.

My dear mum, whom I lost some years ago, always said that she the gift she most loved was spending time with me.
Maybe at a restaurant or a cinema/theatre visit together.
She said that in her post seventy years, she’d had enough “things” from her children over the years, that she would always treasure, but that time with her children was priceless.

I appreciate that if you live too far for a visit, it’s impossible, but I’m just explaining my experience.

Love can be expressed in many ways, and not everyone views it the same.

Alas, these in these days of social media,I might be lucky enough to get a mention on Facebook.
An old fashioned handwritten card delivered via snailmail would be wonderful, but I guess time and trends move on and I’m left wishing for what the youngsters now see as ancient history.

Absolutely nothing. It's a commercial rip off and a total waste of time and money

My mother detested the very idea of Mother's Day. She died the week before it (a good few years ago), and I can imagine her laughing at the irony. 🙂

I used to buy perfumes I thought she'd like, but the date wasn't significant.

I'll most likely take mum to a garden centre or cafe for an afternoon tea and treat her to something for her beloved garden. Not original but we don't spend as much time together as we used to so it will be appreciated.

My lovely Mum died 25 years ago. So sorry for those on this thread who have also lost Mums,especially those navigating recent bereavements.

Every Mothers Day & her birthday since I buy some lovely flowers & have them in my lounge.

A card

I picked up a card for mum, kids made their nan a card and then I bought some biscuits from them. I picked up a beauty edit from Cult beauty and 2 new pairs of sandals for Spring/Summer for her.

For mil we have a card from us, kids have made a card. She will get flowers from the kids. Dh has got her an Elizabeth Scarlett a makeup bag and I've bought her some skincare from the Organic Pharmacy to go in it.

Mu mother died years ago.
She had never wanted children and I was an accidental pregnancy before abortion was legal. Mother's Day was not marked in our house.

I've never really cared about the day and my kids don't mark it.

Probably a card, but very begrudgingly and out of a sense of obligation, not love. I hate this part of mothers day.

I'm very envious of all of you who have loving relationships with your mothers.

So sorry to those of you who have lost your mums, it’s lovely that you mark the day still

i invited my mum and dad over for lunch then we’re going for tea and cake at a local country Manor House we’ve not been to before. I have a card for her and usually do flowers but I might get her a book instead this year. One of DD’s friends is staying over the night before so not sure how much attention I’ll get from my two but a card and a Bunch of flowers and not even thinking about cooking or washing up is all I’m happy with. DD usually makes a card which is lovely

Same here. I always joke that I’m off to search for a card for her that says “to a mediocre Mother” or similar. The “best Mum” ones make me sad. She wasn’t terrible but not great either and doesn’t have a great relationship with any of us siblings.

Card and a voucher.
