"Does your mum wear make up?
If so get her favourite make up in a make up bag?
"
I spent a fortune on make up for her at Xmas actually, she has an allotment that she's really into and she has lost a lot of weight..was debating with the idea of vouchers, thing is i hate receiving vouchers just think they aren't personal and an easy way out.. so don't tend to give them. Just genuinely stuck for idea's. |

If she is into her allotment and you know this, surely it can't be that difficult to pop into a local garden centre and buy her some nice hand tools?
You have the advantage of actually knowing what she enjoys doing, that has got to make it easier for you? |

I wouldnt have a clue what she has/ hasn't got. If i asked her she would reply 'oh i don't want anything' - like she always does

Yeah his mum says that too ( although I say it to my kids haha )
I wouldn't know what garden tools the MIL has, so wouldn't know what to buy.
I asked my MIL what she wanted yesterday and she said the same...I don't want anything" so when I insisted she best give me some ideas as I will end up with something you probably don't want she told me what she wanted 
Mind you, wrapping up a ladle and a fish slice is going to be tough  |

My sons (21 and 25) have never asked me what I want for Mothers day, they just get on with and buy me something or take me somewhere nice....whatever they have brought me or treated me to has ALWAYS meant the world to me.
And it doen't have to have any monetary value....it's totally the thought that counts.

hahaha @ ladle and fish slice.
My mum asked me what i wanted for Xmas and i honestly didnt want anything, (now i have a little one everything is about her) just asked her to get my daughter something nice... she then forced me to answer the question and the only thing i could think of that i needed was a new mop and bucket for my bathroom & kitchen lol |

Go to your garden centre and get some seeds so you have something to go with the vouchers... then she can get stuff that she likes. Why don't you make a card... that way its a bit more personal? |

When callum was little anything related to him my mum would love. I used to do things like hand and feet pictures for her. Used to get some large card and paint his hands and feet and let him print all over it. Since he got older i tend to give her vouchers and flowers. I know what shops she uses and get her vouchers and let her choose, or i get her vouchers for the beauty parlour so she can have whatever treatments she likes.
Im busy next week so i had my "mothers day" with callum on saturday. Just me and him minus g/f. We went to the museum, park, looked in all the shops i wanted without a hint of complaint. Had lunch and he bought me a blouse i liked. When i went to get on the train he gave me a big kiss and cuddle and said he had had a lovely day. The blouse was a bonus i had had a wonderful day just spending quality time together. |

I would find an excuse to make sure she is going to be in beforehand though. Maybe say they may be a delivery for her on sunday and give the impression you have sent flowers or something |

Last year my eldest son got trays and trays of mini dafs and primroses.......I got home from work to find all my pots planted up and a welcome carpet of colour in the garden.
This year we are all going to be with my daughter and grandson for a meal together....my mum is off on holiday, dad's treating her again! |

I would give anything to be in the dilemma of not knowing what to get my mum for Mothers day.
I get a big bouquet of flowers for my house, knowing my mum is looking down on me and seeing her flowers |

Im guilty of not telling my mum i love her enough. Ive never been a very affectionate person..
Guess we don't know what we truly have until its gone.. is a very true saying |

Im a great believer in letting the ones you love/care about know. I tell my son i love him at the end of every phone conversation, jay tells me and i tell him about 20 times aday. If i was to drop dead tomorrow at least they would all know how loved they are |

"I remember me n my brother making her breakfast in bed, doing the housework, cutting the flowers out the garden and giving them to her.. lol
"
I remember those breakfasts too....cup of tea made from the hot tap 'cos they are not allowed to touch the kettle. Bowls full of cereal and bread with all sorts of things from the fridge slapped on top....oh and a raw bacon sarnie once.....again, not allowed to touch the stove so could I get up and do it myself? xxx |
