Mother's Day

[Andalusa]

I got her a card and a Willow Tree figure, she collects them. I also made her a peanut butter and jam sandwich because, for some reason, she loves them.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

I got her a book that was on the recommended shelf at Waterstones. I can't buy stuff for my family because I have little in common with them and don't know what they like.

I don't believe in these hallmark holidays, uh yeah fight the corporate oppressors n' stuff.

Me neither, but since I haven't moved out yet, I have to do something.

Everyone I saw while Mother's Day shopping yesterday, I wanted to kill.

I got her The Red Shoes, A Matter of Life and Death, Brief Encounter and various others including Hamlet as part of the J arthur Rank 70th anniversary boxset.

I'm a big Powell and Pressburger fan and Brief Encounter's the best and most classy "chick flick" ever so i thought she'd probably enjoy them

I didn't bother with a card and never do because they're not only a waste of paper and money but they mean basically nothing. i'd far rather give one thoughtful gift than a shite card and a mediocre gift.

Mothra's Day is the third weekend in May in my country. I'll give my mum a call and wish her a happy mother's day. Maybe my stepmom as well but I doubt it.

 

[DarkMessiah]

I got my mum a card and some Lindt chocolate, and generally been helping out and stuff.
I also had to pass on a "happy Mother's Day" to my friend, who's like a mother to several of us and can put on a great motherly voice

 

[Phoenixlight]

I got my mum a card and my brother got her some thorntons chocolates and something else.

 

[Phoenix Arrow]

I dunno what I got her. She called me, said she'd bought some excercise thing her fitness intructor told her to get and that it was a present from me.
Got her a fancy card though.

 

[Zannah]

Haven't seen her (or spoken to her for that matter) since I left the Us. (not that I'd have bought her something anyway)

 

[GothmogII]

My mum hates mothers day and calls it a "hallmark holiday". She once said that my brother and I's love and respect mean more to her than a card ever will.

You could always -make- a card, non? I know it seems cheap, but if you spend some time on it you could create something special.

 

[Seven Bottles Of Gin On The Wall]

I just got her a box of maltesers and a card. Neither of us really care for the "holiday" but it's still nice to buy her something now and then as a thank you.

 

[Iznat]

Yeah, we have it here in Ireland

I live at home, so I'm with my mom anyway. Went to see my gramma and my nana though.

 

[KitsunetheFox]

I got my mum a very special ornament and a card.
Then I made breakfast for her and went to a carvery with her and my grandparents for lunch.

(also, it was £81, that's quite expensive)

£81 for a meal is pretty pricey
specially for 3 people?
at my local/ regular restaurant it works out about £50-60 for a meal for me, sister mum and dad =/

OT: i got my mother a card, and took her into town and just brought her a few things

Yeah, it's a bit dear for a 3 person meal. Just as well my dad was paying, heh.

There are no Hallmarks in my country so, eh.
Mother's day was on the 8th here and I got her some plants(she really loves gardening) + I did all the errands for her that day.

I would have got her a card if she wanted one, but she didn't. Anyway, I got her a necklace for her birthday which she was absolutely thrilled with. I also let my mum know she is special to me everytime I talk to her.

 

[GodofDisaster]

I got my mum a card and a box of ferrero chocolates.
