What are y’all getting your wives, girlfriends and actual mothers?

I have small kids so while the confetti homemade cards are nice, I’m kinda expected to take the lead on this. And she’s awesome and deals with a lot of shite. So I’d like to do something nice for her.

My kids believe we are rich as frick, have zero concept of money or time and are zero help.

Probably take my actual mom to dinner and get her some flowers.

Love your mama while you still have her. A hug and "I love you, Mom" will make her day.

My mom is 89 and has Alzheimers. She doesn't know who I am so this will be my present to her (and to me).

I bought my wife something that has flowers and our grandchildren's names on it. It's labeled Nana's Garden.

What are y’all getting your wives,


Mine got herself the ultimate gift a few years back — divorced me and split up the family.

At the time, I thought it was the worst thing ever. Turns out, it was a gift that just kept on giving... for both of us. On the surface, it appears she found whatever it was she was looking for, and I found peace, and a new belief in me.

actual mothers?


Mine has late stage dementia. Words and sentences no longer make sense. But just sitting with her, even when she has no idea of what is going on --- or even my name, is the best gift we can give to each other.

My wife decided a few months ago that she really liked those halo bangle bracelets from Mignon Faget.

Kids all have a dedicated color so she's getting one in each of their colors, plus two in a neutral color for our miscarriages.

She gives her all to our family and is not materialistic in any way so it was an easy decision.
