I went into WalMart completely at a loss for what to get my Mom. She has everything, so she is not particularly easy to buy for. I ended up grabbing a clear plastic storage tote thingy with a lid (like one you would store clothing in under your bed) and I filled it up with all kinds of stuff. Just off the top of my head I remember getting:

Calgon bath beads (and bought one for myself too!)
The hair color she uses
Secret deodorant
A new toothbrush
Colgate toothpaste
Mouthwash
Her favorite shampoo
Her favorite conditioner
A bottle of that stuff that helps tame frizzy hair
A new hair brush
Antibacterial handsoap
Dove body wash
A three pack of Caress
A pack of razors
Skintimate shaving cream
Body lotion
Body spray

I know I would be tickled pink to get something like this, what do you guys think? I hope she likes it.

If I was her- I would love it! Had to buy my own present! (I told the hubby along time ago- not to buy me jewelry cause he doesn't have a clue) Yesterday , I bought myself a 1/2 kt. white gold anniversary band! LOVE it!

I know exactly what my mom would say. She would say something funny like "Exactly what are you trying to tell me Scooter?" :p But then she would tell me how proud she was of all of it. :) I'm sure your mom will love it, sounds like a great gift. :)

I got my mom a new purse, some coins that are from the Bible, a pair of cat earrings, and I'm going to give her $50 to get her hair done. :)

so far, I haven't gotten my mother anything. It doesn't matter what I get her...she tells me to my face how much she likes it, then it sits. My mother loves angels/cherubs, so last year I bought her three prints of angels, thinking maybe she could hang them in her office at work. All three are still sitting in the gift bag in the corner of her office. I bought her a larger print in a nice oak frame about 6 years ago...took her 4 to do anything with it. A few years ago, she went on and on about how she wanted a "Brats birthstone necklace". I spent a couple of months and $80 ordering it and she wore it for about 6 weeks. It's hanging in her bathroom now, collecting dust. I think I give up on the Mother's Day gifts.

My mom is a gardner, so I got a really cute porcelain planter and filled it with stuff like garden gloves, foam garden shoes, one of those foam mats you put your knee's on, some tools, seeds, etc.

I got my mom, a set of sheets and some mary kay perfume. All was new and I bought them from a yard sale. She thought I had won the lottery. I didn't tell her where I got them from. lol
The husband's mom, we got her a gift card from lowes, she is going to redo her kitchen.

I got my Mom a picture frame. There was a place in the mall that as long as you can spell it they can cut it out of a photo mat for you (each letter is a place for a pic). So I got one that says Family on a blue background with an oak frame. Then I went and printed out some pics of the kids to put in it for her. I can't wait to give it to her tomorrow!
