Any interesting Mother's day gift ideas out there?

[kpgclark]

My mom lives somewhere that I'd have to ship a gift. Any good ideas out there for a gift? I'm stumped this year.

I'm doing gift certificates for both. MIL lives with DIL in only one bedroom in a huge house, so she has no space and my Mom is downsizing to a 4 bedroom condo. So neither has space for knick-knacks etc.

I'm taking my Mom to WDW on the 21st.

I'm sending my MIL flowers and a food basket with an orchid corsage for church. My MIL has so much clutter that I refuse to add to it. I wanted to buy her something consumable.

We will also take both Moms out to eat.

We're giving my mother-in-law Rod Stewart's Great American Songbook (Volumes 1 and 2) CDs.

Last year, we gave her a couple of those garden solar lights. She absolutely loved them.

My DH gave me a trip without the kids to Disney!!!

I sent my Mom and MIL flowers. 1000 points from My Points if you order from Hallmark.

All my "Moms" are getting Super Certificates from GiftCertificates.com.

I checked out 1-800 Flowers and FTD, but the service and delivery charges to send flowers (even to have them delivered on Thursday or Friday) were almost more then the flowers themselves.

They can use the Certificates at stores or restaurants.

I'm sending my mom a phone card and overseas stamps. I started the phone card idea a couple years ago and wasn't sure how it would go over but, she loves it! Now she lets me know when her minutes are about to run out . Also, much of her family is in Ireland and at .90 a letter to mail that can add up.

Well since we are going to Disney World in October, I thought it would be kind of fun to give my mom some Disney Dollers! Then she can pick out something very special at the parks that she likes!

This wouldn't be a good idea to ship, but we have our DD make a stepping stone for Mom's garden each year with her handprint and date. Mom has them all lined up in the garden- it's cool to see how she's grown every year!

This year I am giving her a Mom appreciation letter. A top ten list of things I can look back and appreciate especially now that I am a Mom myself. It is in rough draft form now but will finalize it before I see her this weekend
