I'm taking my mom to a spa day, and while were there I also had her a mothers ring made. So I will give that to her while we are there!

Normally I don't get her anything (we don't do things like mother's day, father's day,...) but this year I'm giving her a ticket to go with me to an event because my husband has to be away. It'll be nice to spend a day together.

My sister and I are going in together and giving her a mother-daughters ring. It has the birthstones of mom, my sister, and me. She already has a mother's ring that has all four kids' birthstones on it.
I've thought about the spa thing too Not entirely sure about that though.

I am gettign her a Sephora Gift Card
She lves the place, and I am sure she will lvoe spending her card even more

Cooking a fabulous steak dinner for her!

Last year I cooked for her and also gave her a big potted plant thing (I bought the pot and filled it with cool plants).

I'm not sure yet. I want to do a spa day with her and also get her a giftcard to her FAVE store WorldMarket.

I am taking her out to brunch and then we are going to get pedicures.

I am taking her to brunch as well. I will let her pick something out at a store that she wants. I always offer her spa treatments and she refuses b/c she says that she doesn't want anyone touching her.

Oh man, so many people are getting great stuffs for their mom. I feel a bit ashamed now, I was hoping to make her an exploding box filled with pictures of the family and a small cake I made myself.

Now I think I'll give her that plus a trip to the spa.

I wanted to give a tip for anyone else out there who doesn't spend Mother's Day with their mom's for whatever reason... that morning is a great time to go shopping! Since a lot of restaurant's are busy with mother's day breakfasts and stuff and you can still find good sales at most of the stores.

I bought her 2 camisoles (sp?) from The Limited. I like helping her along in the clothes department, haha.

I am getting my mom a gift certificate to her favorite greenhouse in the area and making her an awesome seafood dinner

I'm just sending her a cute flower arrangement and car as my mom lives on the other side of the country.

Bisque, that exploding box of pictures sounds AWESOME!

A card. We don't do gifts in my family, which is nice because I don't have to try to think of something to get everyone, and you don't end up with stuff you don't want. One can only have so many picture frames and scented candles...

I live in Kentucky for school, so I'm driving up to Chicago (eight hours! EEP!) to surprise my mom. She doesn't know I'm coming, and my sister and I are excited to surprise her and take her out to dinner : )

We made my mom and my mother-in-law a batch of homemade pasta and a quart of sauce to go with it. And flowers, of course.

im going to toronto from chicago to be with her, im taking her out for brunch.
my mom always buys us designer things and spends money on us but never thinks shes worth spending her money on. shes been eyeing coach purses recently but thinks they're too much.
i bought her two
i love my mom

her birthday wasn't too long ago, and we bought her presents and a gift cert. to a spa, but her favorite thing was a gift card to her favorite crafty home store, so we're going to all pitch in and give her a larger gift card this time. plus make her dinner and maybe clean the house

I took my mom to Victoria secret (she never been) and had her measured last week and we picked her up some much needed undergarments. Love the lady but she was wearing the wrong bra, I had to trick her to go in the store with me. I am also, taking her for dinner on Saturday evening and spending the day with her and the fam on Sunday.

My sisters and I are sending some exotic flower arrangements to my mom's work so she can show off to her co-workers and I am taking her to dinner on Sunday. That's pretty much it.

We're doing brunch with the family to celebrate Mother's day not only with my mom, but her mom as well.
Because we're going to be spending the day with my grandmother and family my sister and I will be taking her to the spa the following weekend (but she'll find out about it Sunday).

I'll probably just text message my mom on the day. We don't really do much in our family on days like that--plus we live in different states.

I made my mom a large felted tote, and my sister and I filled it with travel related goodies she'll need for her trip in July.

Money is very very tight for me right now, and my mom knows it, and probably doesn't expect anything but a card. But I managed to pick up some overtime, so I'm going to get her a nice gift set from Sephora. I haven't decided which one yet. She loves makeup, and always asks me for tips, so I think she'll really enjoy it.

I got her a ceramic hair straightener - it's taken her a while to get used to me using mine, but now she is ready

A mix cd with songs for summertime; and I'll probably bake some of the chocolate chip cookies she likes along w/ cooking dinner with her.

I'm giving her a gift certificate to go camping with my dad. They love being outdoors and doing the whole camping thing. She'll love it. I'm also going to buy her some sort of plant that she can plant in her flower garden. I like the idea someone gave about making a CD with all her favorite songs on it. That would be sweet!

Jewelry, some flowers, and my dad, sister, and I are making her a nice dinner.

A new phone! Hers is embarassingly outdated.

I'm thinking about making her tiramisu. She loves it, but I don't usually make it, because as far as desserts go, it's incredibly time consuming and complicated to make.

I am going with the Sephora Breakfast in Bed set http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P208313&searchString=phil...
and also making her an online family tree on www.sampa.com. I got the idea from this lady at my work, and it looks really cute!

Her birthday is the day before so it'll be busy!!

Spa day, I'm excited we are getting hot stone massages can't wait :0

I'm currently studying jewelry, so I made her a ring! And then I engraved it with a special message. I just hope I made it so that it fits her!!!

thanks for the tip, tidal wave. i always love an excuse to hit the mall. i got my mom a handbag as hers was kind of deteriorating
