What's for Mom??

We each have mothers who need absolutely nothing but you would still like to show your appreciation for all that she does on Mother's Day. I was just trying to come up with something unique for my Mother on Mothers Day unlike the usual gifts.
Anyone have any thoughts on what they are doing for their Mother?

Last year I gave my mother a gift certificate for a pedicure. I thought that was kind of neat.

How about a gift certificate for a massage?
Last year we (My two sisters and I) got my mother the whole spa treatment; mani/pedicure, massage, hair, etc., etc.. She loved it

My kids and I made my mom a scrapbook of all the fun things she and the kids have done together over the years. I am taking my mom to dinner (with the kids) and they will give the scrapbook to her then.

For those without the time to do a whole scrapbook by Sunday, I'll give you my daughter-in-law's solution to what to give GreatGrandma. She gives her one nicely done scrapbook page per holiday. For Christmas she gave her an exquisite old fashioned page with pictures of GreatGrampa in his military uniform. She's working her way through the people in Greatgrandma's life.

There is a clinical massage school in the next town over. I use them quite often and for mothers day they are having a spa party. For $50 you get two hours of head shoulder massage, sauna, hand/foot parrafin, facial, foot massage and a brunch. I'm taking my mother and my 13 year old daughter. I can't wait

Sign me up! That sounds like a great deal.
The massage/spa day has always been my favorite gift.

WE did one of those link bracelets and got a bunch of family links to add on in brushed silver. She doesn't need it but will definately show it off with her kids and grandkids picking out the links!

I made my Mom a lemonade quilt. It was constructed from my lemons -- mistakes I had made while stitching another quilt. Knowing my Mom she will love it; 83 years-old and the typical waste not, want not, mom. I'm asking for trees! I've got 3 kids and have marked 3 spots in the backyard for them to plant Mother's day gifts. Last year I said I wanted nothing & they bought me this fancy grill. It was so big (hello, I live by myself & gave up cooking when I got rid of your father) I had to enlarge my patio deck. This year I'm taking no chances -

My niece, who is pregnant, gave her mom a framed picture of the baby ultrasound. That was neat.

My mom wants to come over and divide my day-lily's in half for mother's day  (Bonding time for us - actually she'll probably play with my 7 month old while I do all the work!) I'll still get her something - better get on that!

That is an awesome idea!! My mom would love that, especially now that she has a grandbaby and we live 6 hours apart.
