My mom was not as lucky as you or your mom... I bought her a rose, wrote her a card, my brothers and I cleaned up the kitchen and we're getting our picture taken on Friday (I feel a little old to be getting pictures with my brothers! But we tried to give her one last Christmas and it turned out AWFUL, and she's wanted a nicer one ever since...)

My dear girlfriend Alex took it upon herself to get some things for my son to give to me....a small bouquet of flowers, some ferrero rocher and a pineapple! Apparently several months ago he said to her "I get Mami a pineapple?"
I got my mom a beautiful lamp from Hallmark to put beside her night table in her room.
My husband got me a pair of cute wedge shoes.
My oldest son Marley (11years) got me a necklace and matching earrings and a card.
My little one Zane (4years) got me a ring from my jewlery (sp?) box a couple of days ago! hey, it's the thought that counts right? It was just too cute on how he gave it to me. and the rest of the day he kept bragging to his older brother that he gave me a mother's day gift already.
My mom just had a baby last month and she needs a major beauty product overhaul now that she's back to her energetic self. She's big on skincare so I stocked her up with her favorite products: with UV protection
DH & DD gave me a bouquet of roses with a huge pink and green balloon and on our way to my favorite restaurant they surprised me with a Nail Spa GC.
I gave: my mom - a facial gc my MIL - a set of cute pink & purple gardening tools & accessories my stepmom:
Obviously I am not a mom to humans, but my husband always gets me donuts and flowers for mother's day. Oh, and Halley barfed on my floor, so I guess that was her present.
