I need ideas! I want something I can order online and have delivered/shipped to arrive this weekend or Monday at the latest. I don't want to do flowers or a gift certificate. I was looking at Harry and David but read some bad reviews so I thought I would ask if you guys had any ideas or recommendations?
 
this isn't going to help with your ordering, but my mom wanted a large canvas bag with the kids handprints painted on it, so that's what we did.
 
I took pictures of the boys last weekend and they are getting bunches of photos. They boys will make cards for them later this week.

What about a gift basket from Yankee Candle or Bath and Body Works?
 
This is so confusing - Mother's Day in the UK has been and gone way back in March. When is it in the US?

Also when is your Fathers Day? Ours is June 21st.

Are there any other special dates you celebrate with cards and gifts (other than Christmas and birthdays obviously :))?
 
Mine is not helpful either. I got this necklace, with my siblings names on the front, and our birthdates on the back.

Mother's Day in the US is the second Sunday in May. Father's Day is the third Sunday in June (so June 21 here too). :)

As for what I'm getting my mother: absolutely nothing. She doesn't want anything, I don't want to give her anything. It works out nicely that way. Now, last year, I did finally give her exactly what she'd always asked for when I was a child. Peace & Quiet. I found a 3 CD set with P&Q as its title at Costco, and that's what she got. She's never listened to it, but she did appreciate the humor of it.
 
I did the little photo brag books from Shutterfly, using some photos of the kids from last weekend.
 
well I am planning to get my mother another rose bush for her garden :) I have gotten her several over the years and she says thats her favorite gifts
 
Emma made my mom a no-snow globe and I'm just getting her a card with some money. Emma also made DH's mom a no-snow globe and we're grilling out for her on Sunday night.
 
I do shutterfly calendars every year for my mom/MIL and both grandmothers..I usually also get my mom a new plant. The calendars are always a big hit though.
 
I'm going to try to make "photo coasters" using mini layouts. I have never made them before and have been wanting to try for a long time. Now if they actually turn out good, then awesome! If they don't, I'll be hitting the mall on Saturday. I am still getting my layouts together that I want to use, so I'm running way behind.
 
*sigh* I have no idea. I'm totally stumped a bit broke. I think I'm gonna just take her out to lunch, just the two of us. I dunno...
 
I made a t-shirt through shutterfly that says The World's Best Granny, Love Keira & Cooper.

You can't ever find anything with granny on it. I'll probably do a grandma one for DH's mom.
 
My mom and MIL will both be getting hanging flowering baskets of annuals. That's what my mom requested so MIL gets it too. LOL Last year we got them both a new tree for their yards. :)
 
We're giving my MIL a PedEgg (SHE ASKED FOR IT LOL) and a CD of computer games since she loves play solitaire and freecell on the PC. I haven't a clue what I'm getting my grandmother - probably a nice little plant for her room.
 
Well originally I was planning on getting mom a model 300 of the Emergency Radio...I had bought her a model 100 but she unplugged it because she was getting every WATCH and WARNING of all flash flood (which is really not in our area...but farther away)...and thunderstorm WATCH and WARNING...and she didn't want all those but with that model it is all. The only thing she wants to know about is Tornado WARNINGS. The model 300 you can choose which ones to hear. So thinking that is PROB what I will get her...although we are going to Disney for Mother's Day...so will wait until I get back and then give her her belated Mother's Day gift. Mom pretty much buys whatever she wants...and if she doesn't...I can't afford it. lol

MIL...that's dh's department...so she prob won't get anything.
