So what did you SR-buy for your mother for Mother's Day?

[TtownAnne]

Just wanted to see how people are taking advantage of SR with the upcoming holiday. I bought my mother the "Year of Flowers" from RedEnvelope; 12 different kinds of seeds, 12 pots, all seasonally appropriate.

What are you going to buy?

My mom wants a pair of crocs for her gardining and I was thinking either flowers or I am going to do a search for this topsy turvy tomatoe plant thing that she would love!

Not real sure! I wanted to get her the caramel apples that we all talk about and love here....but I am not sure she is a caramel apply kind of person. Thought about flowers, but I always get her flowers. I guess I better get on the ball and start looking, huh? Love to hear other people's ideas, it might help me out with my decision.

OH!!!! Just thought of something! Maybe I could get DH to get me those apples for Mothers Day! I have been DYING to order me some.....

I'm thinking about something edible. She is giving away a bunch of her stuff - last time I visited I got some of her silver platters, and silver cream and sugar bowls (I'm probably never going to use them but I guess there is some sentimental value in keeping them - though I can't remember her ever using them!)

She is probably going to downsize her house soon and doesn't need more stuff!!

I bought my mom the Elizabeth Taylor fragrance she likes from fragrance.net, the day I bought it they had free shipping for everything! :)

I might get her some aqua globes too but I waiting to see some reviews first. :)

I bought my mom a new set of luggage from ebags. She's had her current set since I was 10 (making them well over 20 years old).

I'm still trying to figure out something for DMIL. She's always tough to buy for.

[Blessing and Miracle]

Well, my Dear Mother wants money!:rotfl:

Not sure as to what I want yet!

I did order Nuts on Net Mixed Nuts for my sisters, aunts and some other special people.

I wanted to get my mom some Mrs.Prindables stuff (MIL always sends them to us for our anniversary and they are AWESOME!), but my mom has diabetes and was recently put on a super-strict diet so I didn't want to set out to sabotage her with a present. :angel: But she is a garden/plant person so I figured the year of flower seeds would be perfect and she could do it how/when she wanted.

I'm not sure yet since mom is going in for knee replacement on May 13th. I usually get her flowers, but since she is going in for surgery she won't be home to enjoy them. I don't really want to do anything edible since I know that after the last time they did knee replacement it took her quite a while to get her appetite back.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for other ideas!

Is Mother's Day coming up?

Is Mother's Day coming up?

Of course not, Dude! This thread was just started for the heck of it!:rotfl:

Michael, your dry sense of humor absolutely cracks me up!

[mjjmbnmm]

I ordered my mom flowers, my problem is her b-day is the week before and I don't have anything for that yet, but her and I will be in San Fran, visiting my brother over her b-day so I'll probably just get her something there. I'm not sure if my husband lucked out or if I should feel sorry for him since our anniversary and mothers day are on the day this year.

[JillyFish]

Is Mother's Day coming up?

Yea....it's this Sunday Dude!! Did you forget????

Well, I think I'm going to get an apple for DMIL. She never wants us to get anything for her, but of course I feel like I should. I think she'll like it.

I didn't know what I was going to get my Mom, but I think I finally have an idea thanks to SR. Did you see the new coupon up for Restaurants.com? It's for 70% off off their Dinner of the Month Club. Really good deal. You can get it for 3, 6, or 12 months. So if you get the 12 month, you get 12 - $25 certificates, plus a bonus $50 certificate. So you're basically getting $350 worth of certs.....regularly $120 for $36.....plus 7% back from SR!!! I'm pretty sure that's what I'm gonna do.....got check out the fine print first. But my parents like to eat out and try new restaurants so I think it will be good.

Is Mother's Day coming up?

You sound like my son!! Anything to rile up all these mothers. :rotfl:

Mother's Day is May 11th!

I sent my MIL a Harry & David gift set. She loves the truffles so I made sure some were in there. Not sure what to get my mother yet. She's on a restricted diet so any kind of food is taboo, she doesn't garden. I'll have to think about it.

Where did you buy the seeds for a year thing? Sounds like a good gift for my DIL.

I ordered Mom a book on Scotland (she's going in July), and I'll probably send her flowers. I'll probably send the Dgodmother a flower arrangements-I usually send a card but she's having a lousy year.

[iluvamystery89]

my mom will get a wal-mart gift card b/c of her financial troubles, my MIL will get a goody's gift card b/c she loves to clothes shop, and i ordered my grandmother a set of all occasion greeting cards (she sends cards to EVERYONE she knows!), a set of note cards (b1g1!) and a set of scripture stickers (also b1g1!) at current.com through SR!

RedEnvelope.com It's called Year of Seedlings or something like that, and it comes with 12 different kinds of seeds, 12 pots, etc.

Bit the bullet and bought Mom a Mothers Day basket at Mrs. Prindables. The shipping was a bit high, but I think that she will enjoy it. It is a cream and pink bag with some apples, pretzels, chocolates and has some cooking utensils. I really liked the bag it came in, which is what made me decided to order it. I have it scheduled to be out on May 7.

Sent the MIL a really pretty necklace with pearls from My Jewelry Box. She loved the one I bought my DIL for her 21st birthday, so I thought I'd send her a variation of one.

[aknight373]

jump bumping, i am online trying to find something for my mil

[Hedy]

I also got Mom some headphones for the gym from Best Buy.

[SunshineGirl]

I sent my grandmother Cheryl & Co. A pretty Daisy box with individually wrapped cookies so she can freeze them. Free shipping and used our coupon!

I'm torn between two different places for my mom and MIL. But I can't post them because they both read here. LOL!
