Not even getting a phone call from your child.

You know the best thing about being a mom is that as long as you have the love of your child that means more than anything else in the world,but if you really want to get her something treat her like a queen for a day meaning breakfast in bed maybe take her out and let he get a pedicure/manicure. But I think the best gift of all tell her that you love her.\nCUZ LOVE DONT COST A THING...

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.

My Mom is on a very tight budget (she's mentally disabled) so I usually get her clothes, shoes, slippers,  some nice earrings, maybe a ring (she loves costume jewelry), perfume, lotions, body washes....things that she ordinarily couldn't afford herself.

Here's some ideas I'd thought I'd share:\n\nFor Mum\n- Spa treat\n- Bath and body gift set\n- Festive holiday slippers\n- Personalized jewelry\n\nFor Dad\n- Book that interests him\n- Massage cushion for his chair\n- Subscription to his favorite magazine\n\nIf you'd rather get them something more personal, create a scrapbook filled with pictures of you and your parents. It'll remind your parents of those sweet memories that you spent together.\n\nWhatever you get them, I'm sure they'll like it. After all, you're their daughter.\n\nGood luck! ;)

LOL not to a mom who is holding a paper butterfly and a very lumpy thing I think is supposed to be a vase both of which made me cry.\n\n Yes the commercials and print ads try to guilt you into buying expensive gifts for your mother.  But no matter how old your kids are the most important thing for any mother is just to feel special and appreciated.

hi,\na special and the best present in mother's day is a honest son/dauther him/herself (i.e)a son is a very bad person and his mother always trys him to be good but he never and his mother hates him a very very best gift for his mother in mother's day well be a son to swear for his mother that he will be a good man ever...\nand also a good gift for mother is a flower and a big kiss from her hands...thats it

No such thing as a "worst present".  Appreciate what you are given. Some people get nothing, and might be grateful for what you class as a "worst present".

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.

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.

This wasn't a Christmas gift but here it is: \n\nWhen I was 16 I moved away from home 3000 miles across the country.  My mother needed me to come home but could not afford to send me a ticket so I took my last 100 bucks (tickets used to be cheaper) and a box of cheezits and bought a greyhound ticket.  \n\nI made it about half way when an older lady who was about my mom's age must have noticed that all i had been eating for 2 days was cheezits.  she didn't ask me nor did i ask her but she bought me a sandwich at the next stop, i was so thankful.  later that night she exited the bus, and when i woke up later i found twenty dollars in my bag pocket.  this lady did not know me or my situation (i didn't talk much on that trip) but helped me out.  she sensed that i was having a hard time and out of pure kindness helped me.  i remember this even though it was years ago and try to help others when i can.  that was the best gift i ever received.

A mother is happy with things that are made by their child because they've taken the time, thought and effort.  Anything sentimental is always a good idea.  Try looking at familyfun.com for some super ideas. I wish your Mum and you a lovely Mothers Day!! :-)

sounds like there's steps involved...being that they are 'members'...how about A hand written gift cert. for ONE free ...you name it...go pick A flower from the neighbor's yard...better yet, get a rock and tell them it's a paperweight.  Scribble their initials on it..I heard that no matter what the gift is given for mday that it's a mandatory that the 'mother' must love it no matter what.

It's a gift from his mother. It does nothing -- it's just for sentimental reasons.

That sounds like a thoughtful alternative.\nWhen my dad died, we received so many flowers, cards, and fruit baskets (oh my, the fruit flies were horrible!).\n\nMy mom was a widow with three minor kids, and she appreciated the people that volunteered to watch us while she made arrangements, or the meals that were prepared so she didn't have to worry about it, and the ladies from church who came over and cleaned our house up a bit.  If geographical restrictions aren't an issue and she is your mother-in-law, maybe you could send a fruit basket or gift basket, but also volunteer your time or talents.  Just a thought...
