What are you getting your mother for Mothers Day?

Mothers day is just a week away and I haven't even thought about what I'm going to get my mom. My mom lives about 3000 miles from my house so anything I get her I have to send it to her. I just don't know what to get her. Is anyone else in this situation? What is everyone else getting their mother for mothers day?

Still not sure yet. I am sure it will be something from Arbonne though.

I've heard Arbonne has some great products. I've never tried any of it yet though. I had never even heard of it until about 5 months ago. Now it seems to be popping up all around me.

I can't really afford anything, although if my taxes come in, we might do something special. I am getting her the most special gift I know that she could hope for... A brand new grandchild. It will just be a few weeks later than mothers day (I hope).

you can buy her a gift card to a spa and send it to her or see if you can call a locale one and have it sent to her. I would love to get a spa gift card from my daughter. I could use one right now lol.

You and me both. I'm not sure my mom would use a gift card for a spa. She's funny. On the subject of spas I told my hubby once I get moved I'm heading to one in our new town. I'll need it after packing the house by myself and moving since he'll be out of town the weekend we move.

I have NO idea what to get my mum. She's isn't into the usual things people get their mum's and she's often excited just over a box of chocolates (she is a chocoholic).

My mom's not the norm either. Box of chocolates sound good to me.

We live in Arizona and my Mother-in-law lives in Florida, so we are sending flowers from ProFlowers.com. Here is a link - http://www.proflowers.com/landing2.aspx?pageid=Catalog1&REF=FGVCatalog1 Great prices, fast delivery, and they guarantee their flowers will last at least 7 days because they are shipped directly from the growers.

My sister and I got my mom a Pizzle maker. A wonderful Italian cookie that she is addicted to. She is always borrowing mine so we thought that was the perfect gift. She even makes a 'special' doggie Pizzelle cookie for her dog, Daisy. This is the first year that I was able to guess what Mom would like for Mother's Day. Every other year it has been a trinket or two, that reflected her personality or something that she collected.

I was thinking that she would benefit from a massage - but I am not really sure she would take the time away from my ailing father to go get one. Other than that I am clueless.
