So, what did you all get your mummies for Mother's Day? Spill the beans in this thread.

I bought mine a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and we're going out for a meal tomorrow night. My bro bought her some flowers. :)

Yes it is. Mothering Sunday is today in UK and Ireland. Most people buy their mums presents and take them out for meals and so on.

That would make sense then. Ours isn't 'til May something. I think I'll.. buy her a candy bar or something.

Man I'm boring.

I got my mum a card and a box of quality street. :shrug:

Not very imaginative when it comes to gift ideas.

I'm not really interested in looking at gravestones tbh. It's her third anniversay next week so my sister and I are going anyway.
I'm only there for my sister, I don't believe in anything spiritual and see it as a pointless exercise.

I read that literally and imagined a scenario that involved the use of shovels 8O Sorry for the insensitive comment, but this being an aspie forum, "visiting her grave" might have been a better phrasing.
