Do you get her anything? I try to do something every year. Usually we are visiting but we want to be close to home since I'm due in 4 weeks.
I'm sending her a Mother's Day Care Package:
-Homemade chocolate chip cookies
-Dried apples from Trader Joe's (she doesn't have a Trader Joe's near her).
-Probably something else from Trader Joe's, as well
-A "Brag Book" with BGH's ultrasound picture in it
-A bag of Starbuck's Coffee

@mediagirl: What a good daughter!
I make my mom and MIL a photobook of LO. It's called "LO Loves...." and then has pictures of her with the things she loves (grandparents, mommy and daddy, sleeping, eating, smiling, etc.)
And today LO painted picture frames for them. I used stickers to write "I love Nanny" and "I love Grandma" and then she painted over the whole frame (I put the paint on the frame and stuck it in a plastic ziplock bag so she wouldn't actually touch the paint) and then I took the stickers off so you can see the words.

@mediagirl: That care package is such a good idea. I always have a hard time coming up with Mother's Day gifts.

We live far from our parents so my husband and I sent both of our moms edible arrangements. Yum!

My mom LOVES flowers so I'm sending her 2 dozens roses. My MIL is super laid back and doesn't care for presents so I sent her flowers also. If she happens to be in town, we'll take her out to eat because she loves a good piece of steak.

Every year we make a "Happy Mother's Day, Grandma!" calendar with pics of Wagon Jr. and send it to both Grandmas with a gift or flowers. This year my MIL will be here for Mother's Day, so we'll give her the calendar and take her out to a nice dinner. I just sent the calendar to my mom with a card, and scheduled a flower delivery.

ugh. I have no idea. With the hecticness of the last week or so I didn't get around to ordering her something.
Any ideas??? She's here with me now and wiht it being Sunday I need something my husband can grab from the store.
Got my MIL a necklace with 3 charms, one for each of her grandkids.

@PBandBaseball: me too! I don't want to send her anything that she really doesn't need (she doesn't need much) and all the things I would love to get her are way out of my budget.

My mom loves roses, so last year we adopted a rose bush at the local rose garden for her. This year she's getting a little basket of potpourri from the garden along with some other goodies.
I'm hoping to bake some cinnamon rolls and deliver them to both moms in the morning.

A nice purse I'm pretty sure she will like, plus a homemade dinner.
