Ok, this is a hodge podge HEB post, but I had so much fun today that I wanted to share. Unfortunately, I am limited to what I can post about on the above pictured run, but it was a fun day! I got to shop HEB today with the possibility of being one of those shoppers you see on television or in ads that saved by shopping HEB. It was such fun and the associate that accompanied me on my shopping trip was so nice and sweet!

What a cool day for you at HEB!
In the past I have ordered photo books for my mom and MIL, they always go over well for Mother's Day!
Cooked a home made meal for my mom along with my sister.
Proud of you, organic milk and carrots!!!
When we were younger my 2 brothers and myself got my mom a ring with all our birthstones in it. It wasn't a normal ugly moms ring :)
I made a scrapbook of her trip to visit her Mom in Seattle. She had NO idea I even had her pictures so she was thrilled.
I have made dinners, photobooks, small sentimental gifts...this year my son and I are making homemade vases out of plasic containers, decorated with ribbons, etc... for all the mom's in our lives. =)
Every year I make her breakfast. When I was little it was burnt toast, soggy cereal and a diet coke. Now that i'm older it's homemade biscuits and sausage gravy with all the other good stuff.
I try to have a mini Mother's Day for my mom almost every week when we shop with coupons. She has heart disease and is slowly declining. She loves it when she gets in line, uses the coupons I hand her and then gets products free or almost free. This is the only way she doesn't protest when I buy her toiletries or groceries. She's 80 and was a single mother before it was openly accepted.
I usually take her out to eat!

I am eight hours away and never get to be with her on Mother's Day. I surprised her by sending flowers to work and by having her friends take her to lunch at her favorite restaurant- where they had my credit card number and I treated her and the office to lunch. She loved it!
For the last 2 years we buy my mum a seasons pass to Shliterbhun! She loves the water and it's a fun thing for my kids to do with Grandma.
We used to bring my mom breakfast in bed, on a little T.V. tray.
btw, I can't seem to get the bordon cheese coupon to come up. the first time, my computer locked up. then, it just took forever and didn't get anywhere. I've printed this out before, but can't remember where the link is.

One year when I was too young to drive my brothers and I walked up to the craft store at the front of our neighborhood and got her a t-shirt and painted it. She did this as a gift for people a lot and we knew how much thought and love she put into each one and we wanted to do the same.
I washed her car & detailed the inside. It's something that she just didn't have time to do. She loved it. I wish my family could see this post. hint hint :) Thanks

I helped my kids paint pictures and then we stuck actual photos of them on the paintings. My mother in law loved hers so much she framed it.

Brought my mom breakfast in bed and picked some flowers for her! Fun times:)
We always have a lunch/dinner with all the moms favorites!

Last year I packed a picnic lunch and enjoyed eating it with my mom outside on her covered porch. Since she loves to garden I bought her a variety of plants and helped her to plant them. We had a great afternoon!
My Mom lives far away and I can't take her out for Mother's Day. I usually pick up a nice giftcard for one of her favorite restaurants and tell her to have a nice dinner on us. She doesn't treat herself, so this is my way of saying thanks for having and keeping me.
The photo books are great for moms. Also, I use recent photos and make a personalized card from my boys. Super cute and the moms love receiving new pictures too.
In the past I have treated my mom to a day @ the spa. Last year my sisters & I took her to Galveston for the weekend. We rented a beach house & just hung out all weekend. She loved it.
I gave a special book about the special bond between mothers and daughters and personalized it.
This year (its already been delivered) i sent my aunt (mother is terminally ill) a trio of bulbs in buckets. A few years ago, my grandmother passed and my aunt is still having emotional problems with it; she was her best friend. The flowers this year represented my mother, my aunt and my grandmother since the 3 flowers are/were a favorite of each lady.
Last year I took my mom and mother-in-law to the spa for a relaxing afternoon. They had never been and both loved it.
when I was younger and living at home I use to bake a cake while she was napping (after taking care of the 8 of us) sometimes we didn't have everything to make icing so we came up with our own brand of icing (didn't always look good) - she never complained --
on past mother's days i've done everything from the traditional flowers and lunch out, to handmade gifts, to something pretty i knew she wouldn't buy for herself.
I like to a picture of all the grandkids and make something for my Mom.
Last year I made a homemade edible arrangement of fruit. It was so fun, and a huge hit by all!
We normally make something from the grandkids for my mom and mil. Photobooks, vases, garden stones, etc......they love to get things the kids have made and the kids love to see their projects at their house.
For past year's Mother's Day gifts I have ordered flowers, created photo books, given frames, and gift cards!
Last year I flew in town and surprised my mom for mother's day & arranged it with her boss for her to have monday off so we could spend the day together!
One year when I was in junior high, I had a mother's day tea for her and my aunt and grandma...they loved it!
I am making her her favorite dinner and desert homemade chicken and dumplins and banana pudding can not wait to see her face :) Lindseyjarenjayden (at) yahoo (dot) com
We live 12 hours away so one year I drove up with the kids to surprise her.
I love doing the homemade photo gifts for mom - photobooks of family vacations, a customized pocket watch, a mouse pad, etc.
I like to buy my mother new work clother - something she never does is spend money on herself.
My Mom's favorite gift (for any occasion) is for me to make dinners for her freezer. Since she lives alone and hates to cook, she can pull out a meal and heat it up.
Last year we gave my Mom a charm bracelet with all of our names on it :)
I like to take my mom shopping. There is usually some small thing she's been eyeing but would never bother to buy it herself.
card w/ the kids pictures.. she loves those.
A cool thing my neighbor did once was to have her mother over to enjoy her beautiful backyard. She provided her with something to read, a cool drink, and a little bell to ring whenever she wanted something.
I go for a picnic with my mum and all the ladies in my family. Always fun!
Haha - wow, that is so awesome. :) When they finalize and publish the ad, *please* share with us how much you saved (and didn't save ;) ) and who your "competitor" store was. I'm really curious. :)
I love HEB because their normal prices are so much better than Kroger or Randalls, but I rarely shop there because my coupons aren't worth as much (and nobody ever posts about in-store not-in-the-ad deals - lol).
My husband usually sends his mom and grandmom flowers for Mothers' Day, and I try to remember to call mine or send a card (we don't do big gifts for the smaller holidays).

I give my Mom cash or a gift card to a favorite store...she's easy!
We have all gone in together (my brother, sister and I) and gotten my mom some sort of jewelry or gift card to somewhere nice and when we used to all live in the same area, would always go out to eat.
Great giveaway!!!
I have ordered a favorite magazine subscription for her so she can enjoy her gift all year long.
When I was in college, ancient years ago lol, I came home and cooked her big meal. We had such a wonderful time that day and we love her so much. Happy Mothers Day mom...Thanks for the opportunity and nice shopping trip.
I ordered a subscription to my mum's fav magazine
I have her a mini food processor. She loves to cook and it really came in handy for her.
one year - I gave my mom a gift certificate for a 1 hour massage at Massage Envy & made sure she went for it. She loved it!
We're all being very frugle these days and trying to get away from expensive gifts (especially with two big families where there's a birthday or holiday every couple of weeks!) so we have a big family get together where we prepare food and relax and our gift is spending time together.
This year my brother and I got my mom central air. She is thrilled!
I bought my mom Fiesta Texas season passes.
Last year was the first year my son was able to do arts and crafts, so he made a flower pot for my mom and we planted some flowers in it for her. He still looks for the pot every time he goes to her house.
For my Mom, we are going to let her be lazy and eat chocolate cake. That is all she wanted. Cake and to go watch Nightmare on Elm Street. She is the greatest. =D
