I am at a loss of what to get MIL for Mothers Day. She is amazing, and I lover her, but she is also well off, so gift giving is hard. She is paying for family pictures in the summer, so that is out. Also, we live 1200 miles away, so that cuts out any service oriented gift ideas. Tell me what you are getting your mother, or what you would like!

My mom is getting a Fit Bit. It's something she's wanted, so it's not a message sender. No idea on MIL.

We seem to always do garden type stuff.
A hanging basket or gift card to the greenhouse. Some type of garden art or birdfeeder.

I'm saving my spot.
I have no idea what to get mom. She doesn't like anything. No food, treat, item, anything.

I got my mom a Kindle Fire for Christmas, so I'm going to send her an Amazon gift card that she can use for more books.
She wasn't really keen on the idea of an e-reader at first, but as she's used it more, she really likes it. It helps pass the time as she waits for doctor's appointments and such. She loves how much easier it is to fit into her purse than an actual book.

It's hard year after year to think of meaningful things. Would she wear an Alex and Ani bracelet? There is one with a family tree on it.
I got my mom a tunic on sale from J Jill. It had double front pockets that she likes. I don't know if she's like the shirt or not but that's what I sent her.
I can't come up with anything for my kids to get me and my birthday is a week later. It gets hard after awhile to think of things they can afford that I need or like. I'll watch this thread for ideas.

I guess I could tell you what I'm getting my Mom, maybe it'll spark something for one of you!
I'm getting her a book that she wants, also some Norwex items ( the polishing cloth and dusting mitt). I'll put them all in some sort of basket with a treat.
I wish the MIL. was as easy!

I always feel like a crappy daughter, daughter-in-law after reading posts like this. My mom is happy with a card and bird seed or a hanging basket. My mil seems to just want her son to call her. I don't want anything. I find cards to be wasteful. I don't care about hanging baskets or flowers. There's nothing I want my kids to buy me that I won't buy myself.
But yet, if my kids remember to buy a card and give me my favorite flowers, I'm happy.
