I have a question about Mother's Day gifts...Not for my mother, but for the woman I'm in a relationship with. My Dad raised us making sure we gave something to my mother. He always got Mom flowers and a gift as well, but they made us...This is the mother of his children. My girlfriend (What the hell is a less childish way of describing a girlfriend for adults) has adult children from another marriage and I'm pretty sure her kids are going to get her something. We don't have any children together. What do you think should be the extent of my gift giving. I'm leaning towards a nice card and maybe a spring bouquet delivered to her work, but I'm also thinking that her kids should be the ones to send her flowers but I don't think they are going to do that and I don't want her to be the only Mom at work with no mothers day flowers. Your opinions are greatly appreciated.
Man I don't know... She's not the mother of your children, so I voted nothing. Feels weird to get her a gift. Maybe just flowers at most and don't say who they're from or on behalf of her kids.
I'd give her a gift and what she likes more card or flowers. A gesture like cooking for her prob better than the three
You can get all three in total for under $50. IMO it's worth it to avoid having an argument or resentment regarding this in the future.
Give what you can afford it’s the thought that counts. I’m sure she’ll love whatever you decide to get her.
She’s a mother and he is in a relationship with her. Shouldn’t be weird at all. Flowers and a card are great expressions of one’s acknowledgement and appreciation.
She's not your mom and she is not your wife maybe just keep simple. I would go with a homemade card, macaroni necklace, and a gift card to starbucks.
I'm leaning towards a card and flowers. Now that I think about it, I need to go look through my cards. I can't recall if I've ever even gotten a card from her on Father's Day.
She is a mother and that's what you're celebrating. Get her a card and take her out to eat at her favorite restaurant. That she has never given you a card for Father's Day shouldn't factor into your decision on what you do for her. There shouldn't be strings attached to your kindness.
Oh no...I didn't mean it to sound that I wasn't going to get her something. I was thinking I'm just stressing way too much over it. I know I'll get her a card and send her flowers. I'm just debating on a gift.
Well, she dropped what she wanted on her kiddos. She wants a new $2000 road bike. She asked her kids to pitch in on it, so I'll let them take care of that and I'll send her a nice bouquet to her work. @the shark made a great point. I'm celebrating her being a mother. Not her being my mother. I'd love to take her out on the boat for a picnic on the bay, but we have to celebrate my mom too, and if we get out on the boat, we'd spend all day fishing!
