What are you getting the moms in your life for Mothers Day?
My MiL loves the handmade grandkids centric stuff. My mom, not so much. I've already overdone the Jewlery, facial product, gardening stuff idea. Might just give her a red envelope with cash when she's up here the weekend before. And maybe send a picture frame later on of her with the girls and I?!

Last year was mom's first mother's day as a grandma, so I feel like it's repetitive to give her grandma/granddaughter stuff too.
Neither of our families are huge on gifts... I usually just get flowers if nothing else comes to mind. I save a lot of random things on Amazon wishlist all the time so I'm gonna dig around there to see if there's anything good haha!

I send MIL kids artwork.
My mom gets a Lowes gift card every single year - she doesn't need "stuff" but she loves getting new mulch and plants every spring.
I am going to attempt to do this along with the gift card
I assume you can just mod podge them on and then seal it? -
My MIL has a great (huge) back porch and loves to hang laterns and windchimes from it. I bought her a funky handmade beachglass windchime from a little art fair earlier this month.
I think I'm getting my mom a handmade mug from this potter I'm currently obsessed with. I'm planning on getting one myself and figured I'd grab her one, as well. Then pick up a bag of ground coffee from a local coffee shop to go with it.
I'll probably frame one of DS's school photos, as well.

We aren't gift givers, so I usually just send flowers to my mom. I send cards to my MIL and SMIL and my husband's grandmother.

@Mamaof2: Those are seriously adorable!
We did hand print art on ceramics for both grandmothers and I will give my mom cash too for a big trip she has planned. For my mother in law I think I will get her some air plants- my in laws plan to move to an RV (even though we all think they are nuts) soon and she has decided that will be a good solution to her plant addiction. -
Always do handmade stuff from the kids for both sides. This year we (me, my sisters and all the grandkids) also took my mum out for afternoon tea. I think we'll do it every year, tea and cakes is always a winner

I'm getting my mom a hairdryer. Super boring but when we were visiting recently I borrowed hers and it's terrible! HA!
-
I think I might get my MIL a nice vacuum. It's not flashy but hers is terrible and DH was recently telling her about our little Dyson and I think she would love one of her own.
-
Dh and I are getting my MIL a new dishwasher since hers stopped working, mil has been talking about getting a new one other than that we will just go out to dinner
-
I'm due two days before Mother's Day so they are getting a grandchild as their gift! Maybe I'll send flowers, but I don't see myself doing much else this year.
-
Flowers and card for both mamas and a lunch with mine and all her kids.
-
My mom swooned over some silly ceramic thing that said something like " the best moms get promoted to grandmas" Hopefully, I can find something cheesy for her along those lines. I'll probably see her on Mother's Day- she'll be sure that happens.
I'm not planning on doing anything with or for my MIL.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: haha I have done the "best dads get promoted to grandpa" thing for a DIY gift. FIL loved it.
-
We usually get the grandmas pretty plants for their gardens. And we usually have a nice meal together!
