I need ideas if you have any. I found an online photo place but it would have ended up being almost $40 each x 5 grandmas, too $$$$ for us.
My Mother gets 2 potted plants (tradition I started and now she looks forward to it). Mother in law gets something small for a gift, dinner out usually on Mothers day and time spent with her daughter at some craft shops the day before.
This my Mothers Day gift. Trying to reestablish my Rhubarb crop. I've got only really three good plants left. So I got 6 more plants last week. The story behind it. For the last 8 or 10 years. I pick my rhubarb and take it down back home for mom to fix a rhubarb pie. I go buy soft serve DQ ice cream at the local DQ store. That's been our little desert tradition on Mothers Day.
For my mother, probably a fuchsia plant or somwthing similar for hummingbirds. For my MIL, I joke that I will keep her daughter for another year. She thanks me for that. wildwest , how about having the Lil one make a small gift for each one. Can't beat that. One of those clay handprint kits or paint a small birdhouse kit.
Same as last year here. For my Mom. I'll get her a bunch of natural dark brown mulch for here flower/plant garden. Usually takes a dozen large bags. And I will then place all of her mulch and any of the annual flowers she picks to go between her permanent flowers and plants. This turns into a 3 hour project for me, but looks good and they both appreciate it getting all set up for the nice weather. For my wife's mom. We will probably go with a gift card to a restaurant or maybe a landscaping/flower shop near her house.
Mom likes pink carnations which she can't grow in her garden so I will order a table bouquet of pink carns and white roses. Only problem with that is that two weeks later is her birthday and the flowers are usually still looking good. Edit: Can you find a nearby florist for each Gramma and have a simple bouquet delivered to them?
