Do you give your mom/MIL a card/gift on mother's day from your DC? I have in the past but didn't last year and I feel a little icky about it.

I sent flowers from DS last year. This year I signed the card from all three of us. I didn't buy cards - I just added the cost of a card to what I was planning on spending and got a larger arrangement.

I found a great card at Hallmark (it took an hour!!!) that said to a great mother and Grandmother and was really great. I think it was mostly green or teal and it was very practical yet touching. I bought 3 of the same ones, let them ripen for 2 weeks in the kitchen then rushed to the PO this afternoon hoping they'll get there in time. I signed them from all of us. No gifts right now. I'm giving them another grandbaby soon, so that's gift enough, right?

I do not sign them from dc. She isn't their mother. I don't know what dh does for mil - he is in charge of her gift.

(to be honest, I am not a huge fan of mother's day and consider it a hallmark holiday and only send anything because I feel it is expected. I am a mother's day grinch. :) ).

I think I might have the first year or two for Dora. I don't anymore. Dh and I make our own cards addressed from all of us, but we include pics of the girls in them.

We always get the grandmothers a card and some type of small photo gift from DS for mother's day. I can't imagine not doing this.

We send/give cards to the great grandmas and grandmas. I also send one to a special Aunt (an Aunt-specific Mother's Day card).

Usually I do for Gmas and Aunts.

DS sends his own card to Grandma, but unless I bought 2 smaller things, I put everyone's name on the gift.
