Should I expect my Fiance' to get me a gift in honor of my first Mother's Day even though my daughter is 3 mos

As being a good mother u can expect it.u r a special mother who cares her own as well as her step child too. I will prey for u that your fiance remember your gift.\nBut I also know the nature of men ,when a girl changes into a woman ,she loses her attraction near her husband or fiance because there is a child who is involved between them and u should also agrees with me that u r not giving the same time to your fiance as it was before the birth of your child.

Find out if she is registered anywhere. If she is registered somewhere, then you can just choose something from her list and you know that it is something she wants and will like.  If she's not, then talk to her or go browsing in the baby department. Get her to show you some stuff she likes.  Then depending on what your budget is, you can decide from there.  Other than the obvious stuff (highchair, crib, stroller ,etc) you could put together a basket of stuff-diapers, wipes, medicines, nailclippers, washcloths and the like. Or you could wait until the baby is born and get something such as a blanket or frame and have it personalized. Don't forget to include a book!  Here's a suggestion for whoever is throwing the shower, instead of the guests bringing a card for mom, have them bring a child's book to help build a library for the baby. My sister loved that idea!

If you ask me the best gift for a mother on Mother's day is to give them a free time (their kids being babysit for free) and loads of money and grand dinner with the father (ofcourse)...\n\nIf you are in a store then probably you can give each of them a cool shade free that goes with the dress they purchase.\n\n.:Fishie:.

Ask your brother what they are like, what they like, what they collect, etc. I think one of those little angel pins, a plant, or chocolate, are good gifts if you decide that you must give a gift. If my son's daughter had brought me a gift the first time she met me, I would've thought she was trying to buy my acceptance. As it was she came empty-handed but her personality and her love for my son were gift enough. Now she gives me things all the time. It's a sweet idea though.

Since she is your daughter and no someone elses give her something quiet like a Teddy bear made out of an old fur coat.  my son is 29 and still treasures the one I made for him. p.s. no he is not gay lol

Depends on what she is into.  Check out what she likes.  Does she collect anything?  Does she have a hobby?  Maybe you really like her but at 4 months I think buying jewelery is too personal too early.  It could say more than you are ready to say right now.\nBut buying movies, cds, or adding a trinket to her collection of something she likes is a cool no added statement route to take.  Maybe she has an alarm clock that is not working or a phone that keeps hanging up on her- you could buy her a new one and keep it light hearted.  :)

although I am a mother, I also have a mother!  I will go and visit her and take her a plant and a card, give her a kiss and tell her thanks for being such a wonderful mom!  I just don't believe so much in all of these special days for things.  Why focus on one day.  My daughter is young and she tells me all the time what a great mother I am, or brings me cards that she made me, or makes me gifts.  What I really want for mothers day is to know that I'm loved all year round...not just on a certain day but for all the years to come. :)  We should never wait for a certain day to let someone so special know how much we love them.

Try not to get too personal, it might scare her off. A gift certificate is kind of crude, it's basically the same as cash. Maybe a nice dinner, some flowers (not too extravagant, but not something you'd get your mother either), and a small gift.\n\nIdeas: teddy bear, chocolates, a spa-type gift basket with stuff she can pamper herself with (most drug stores sell those at a reasonable price), or something practical that pertains to her life like a travel mug with a gift certificate from her fave coffee shop or with a bag of good coffee. \n\nThings to avoid: lingerie, jewellry, pets, cash, books and/or music (until you know her tastes really well), blank journals, clothes, poems or songs (until at least 6 months) etc. \n\nGL!

Yikes! No, what you are describing sounds very attention getting. This is the bride's special day, and all of the attention should be directed toward her and the groom. The mothers of both bride and groom should dress with good taste and in a subdued manner.

The letter & the photo ideas are nice ones. As a mother, I can tell you that the best presents are always those that come from the heart. They needn't cost much (if anything at all). just so long as it's given with all the love you have for your mother. My daughter has given me "World's Best Mum" certificates & stuff like that, but the best thing ever from her, was a photo of her at her school prom with a poem that she'd writen herself, about how she felt about our relationship. Stuff like that is totally unique, a keepsake, memories that you can look back on with love in years to come. Give her something that shows how much you love her - I know she'll be more pleased with that than if you spent loads of money on something that any daughter could buy for her mother.

I would send enough for the first few hours, unless you are dropping your kid off at night. The other parent should provide everything unless they don't see the kid regularly. If they only see your child...say...once a month for a weekend, I would bring enough for a day, they should provide anything that won't spoil. But if it is a regular arrangement (evenings from 5-9 or every other weekend), they should have everything they need on hand, from bottles to diapers to formula. Good luck!

Wait until your 1 month anniversary.  If you give it to her now it seems a bit desperate.  Also, if your giving her gold after 1 week what are you gonna give her after 6 months, a year?  You'll always have to try to top yourself.  A girl doesn't need presents all the time.  Wait for a special occasion.

I would get her some cds of a band she likes and then make something like a family tree to make her feel important- my parents did that for me when I was 12 and since I have made one for my children for when they turn 12- also, electronics are ruling the scences today. Dolls, .....

Yes.  A little gift wouldn't hurt.  Nothing too big though, just in case he doesnt get anything for you, you don't want him to feel bad.  I reccomend a funny little gift that relates to a little joke or funny event that the two of you have shared in the past month.  If you can't think of anything, always go to something that will make him laugh a little.

Mothers are usually very unpicky at presents, but check in at what products shes using, what clothes brand she loves.\n-You might like to buy her a giftcard for the mall\n-Make something like an album of your memories together, growing up and happy times. You can decorate it so it looks all prettyful.\n-Buy a gift certificates for you and her(or alone) at the spa\nor a gift certificate to get manicures & pedicures together\n-You can always extend the subscription to her magazine or buy her a subscription on her favorite magazine\n-Also you can write her a letter on how much you appreciate her and slip it into one of the presents.\nOkay..I'm starting to sound like Mother's Day extravaganza, so I'll stop myself now. This doesn't sound Christmas-y..ah well...at least I tried.

Your jealous, fess up! You know that's what it is about. My mother has all of her jewelry (quite a substantial amount) going to my daughter, my daughter will receive them after she turns 18 or my mother passes which ever occurs last. My daughter then has the option to give family members pieces of that or not to. She put this in her will simply so that stupid argument's don't occur like the one your about to have. The ring is gone to someone else, get over it. Ask you mother to will a special piece to you or your daughter.

When children are this young the party and the gifts are for the parents satisfaction. Babies don't comprehend birthdays and gifts. So have fun with it. Do whatever you want and buy her whatever you want. You have no worries. Now, for her 16th birthday, you're on your own. :) That's going to be a whole other monster. Congratulations and best of luck to you!!
