Mother's Day Gifts

What are/did you get your Mother, MIL, FMIL for Mother's Day.  We are stumped, and when I say "we" I mean "me", H isn't good at this type of thing.  

My Mom is a little easier to shop for, she likes all kinds of things.  But MIL really isn't into anything, her hobby usually consist of shopping for other people.  I am also trying to not spend too much (maybe $50-$75 on each).

I thought that maybe if I heard what others were buying, I could get some ideas.

TIA

    I bought my mom an electric kettle bc she always talks about how much she wants one (subtle I know!). DH has yet to get anything for his mom but I'm thinking a gift card for clothes will be the way we go. Last year we did framed e-pics and they loved it if you want to go down that route.

    We got a bunch of pictures of the baby and put them in frames for our Moms this year.  Both have been dying for some pictures so we figured it would be perfect!

    I got my mom pearl earrings form Zales, they were on sale for $48.  I just always end up getting her restaurant gift cards so I figured I'd try something different.

    We ordered a beautiful bouquet of irises for FMIL, her favorite flower.  She's hard to buy for also but loves getting flowers.  My brothers and I are treating our mother to brunch and an afternoon out in Hoboken - she loves to walk around by the water (hopefully the weather will cooperate!)  I'll probably get her a small gift as well.  No flowers because she has 2 young cats that won't leave live plants alone!

    We're getting FMIL flowers and my mom a gift card to her salon (she's big on practical gifts).  FI is also taking his parents to a Broadway show for Mothers/Fathers day in early June.

    Thanks everyone. 

    I am thinking maybe a framed pictures would be nice.  Seeing as we still haven't done much with our wedding pictures, and they haven't seen many of them.

    I got my mom a digital picture frame she has always wanted one :)  No clue about future MIL I am leaving that up to FI since she is impossible to shop for!
