Just thought I'd make a post for people to share what they are getting someone for mother's day or if there's something you want for mother's day :-)
This is what I'm getting my mom with 6 birthstones for all the grandkids.

I am hoping to sleep past 7 am as my gift
LOL, I've been wondering this too! It's ironic, because Mother's Day used to make me feel a little sad because I didn't have kids... now Mother's Day still makes me feel a little sad because as a SMBC of a just-turned-two year old and an 8 week old newborn I definitely have the kids - and all the hard work that goes with looking after them all day every day on my own - but still don't get any kind of Mother's Day! LOL. I am reeeaally looking forward to when they are old enough (maybe when they reach school-aged) to e.g. make me a card on their own without any prompting (since there is no one here to prompt them, so while I know a 2 year old COULD make a card, they'd need someone to help them etc!) And it will be even better still in a few years time when they are both old enough for us to go out and have a great day of fun together without any toddler tantrums or meltdowns because it's naptime, lol! ;-)
I have to agree, it can be a sad holiday for single moms, divorced moms, widows, etc. because you want someone to recognize how much effort you put into raising your kids. When they're older they'll appreciate what you do more, but at this age, they really don't get it and you don't have a significant other who sees and appreciates what you do.
I usually get my mom either flowers or different plants for mother's day, since she is into gardening. I don't get anything from my family on mother's day, but I hope when my daughter gets older, she will make me a card or anything from her would be just wonderful.
My birthday and Mother's Day are very close together. Every 7 years it's the same day too! Last year was the first year that I bought myself a present. It was weird for me. I love shopping but never before had I ever thought in terms of giving myself a gift and putting the same time, thought, and effort into it as I would for others. This year doing the same was not odd at all. I think that I've established my own little tradition. One that's just for and all about me!

As far as myself and DP....we will probably work on a household project with each other for mother's day. Probably build a firepit in the backyard.
