My sister is the one who gives presents, which normally consists of a card, and a couple hundred dollars because she loves money XD We give our parents cards during birthdays in addition to Mother's and Father's Day, but they never seem to keep them >>;; So I've personally stopped giving them, but my sister continues to; kind of a waste of money if you ask me, but okay.

I'm not getting my mom anything. She hates me and I hate her. If I was forced to get her anything I would get her a card and write in it, "Sorry you're such a ♥♥♥♥♥, Happy 'You Should Have Had An Abortion' Day."

And it would be about the same for father's day too.

She drives everyone crazy, but the family takes her out to the restaurant of her choice. Last year she got lobster tail with steak.

Usually she gets flowers, and she isn't keen on receiving gifts like jewelry. She really prefers expensive jewelry and perfume, and her three lousy kids can't afford that nor do they believe in $80 perfume. We leave that mission to dad, if he is up for it.

She's getting jewelry. And, I barely have a choice in the matter. She's already informed my siblings and I on what she wants too with some detailed specificity, haha. But, it's going to a pooled effort between my brother, sister, and I.

But, I love my mom, so I have no qualms in getting her some expensive jewelry.

We're actually not getting her anything this year; my brother and I are taking her up to Boston to watch the Boston Ducklings Parade, which if you don't know is a tradition that celebrates the book Make Way for Ducklings by having thousands of kids dress up as little ducks and have them march in a parade to Beacon Hill. It's a pretty fun day of festivities, as there's face painting and family entertainment, and of course all the kids are just super adorable ;D

This sucks. My birthday is on Mother's Day this year. I am very, very conflicted.

I've decided the day will contain dinner, possibly presents and tons of hugs. Also gonna try spending a lot of the day with her. I don't know if my family is going to plan a gathering themselves (we tend to on most holidays.)

Well I went to buy my mom gifts yesterday and then a turn of events that were unpredictable happened to me and in those events I lost my wallet (was recovered by my friend) so I couldn't buy anything until today after I got my wallet back. So as you can imagine most stores were pretty barren especially by the time I got out tehehehe.

I ended up going to two stores and I got her a box of hershey's chocolates because she got three other boxes of chocolates all different brands so I thought I'd try something new too. I know that's a lot of chocolate but she loves it so whatever. Then I got her some of her favorite caramel cream things. Also got her two bags of specialty flavored coffee because she LOVES that stuff. One salted caramel flavor and the other red velvet which will be interesting. I was going to get her some candles, but her recent quote was, "I'm all candled out!!" so I stuck to food.

I got my mom a card and some chocolates. I thought about getting her another little gift but she has soooooo many things and really doesn't need anything else that isn't really gonna get used or have purpose. She is a little bit complicated anyways lol, she doesn't really want anything right now except either a new laptop or an expensive geiger counter and I can't afford her one of those lol. My boyfriend got me Kirby Triple Deluxe as a gift for mothers day and he got his mom the same thing I got mine but a different card.

I bought my mom flowers and a gift card to a local gift store that she likes but can never afford to buy anything for herself.

Also, and this is the best part, I worked a night shift at the pizza place. My mom thought I was scheduled to work at three, but I was scheduled at four, and I didn't tell her different so that I could have time to buy flowers. When I got to work, I placed an order for delivery to our home, of her favorite food from the restaurant. I had the driver take the flowers with him and the gift certificate was attached to the pizza box. She had no idea this was happening until he got there. :P
