Should I buy my daughter a gift for Mother's Day since she is a mother now also?

Or is it just for kids to give gifts to their parents? What is the proper etiquette on this?

Although many people believe that Mother’s Day gifts are primarily given by children to their mother, mothers typically receive cards, gifts, and other shows of affection from all types of individuals. Mother’s Day is first and foremost about showing appreciation, compassion, and honor to a special mother who always lovingly dedicates her time and resources to raise well-rounded, wonderful children. Many mothers therefore often also receive gifts from their mothers, grandmothers, cousins, siblings, husbands (and they can especially appreciate all the work and time mothers invest in their children), and even friends and coworkers. Personally, I have received cards, emails, flowers, and small gifts from just about all individuals I just mentioned. So to answer your question, yes you can definitely express your appreciation and show your daughter how proud you are of her by presenting her with a small gift on Mother’s Day. It will make her feel valued to know that not only are her children grateful for everything she does, but her family members honor her for her motherly role as well. Have fun shopping! And Happy Mother's Day to both of you!

When I first became a mom, my parents and husband both bought me gifts, because as an infant, the only thing my son was capable of giving me was spit-up and messy diapers. Oh, and sweet smiles and coos.

They pretty much kept this up until my kids were able to scribble me pictures and pick dandylions for me.

I think this is the norm, at least among people I know.

Though it's usually just the fathers that buy the presents on their kids' behalf, not the grandparents.

I would say yes. My wife is currently pregnant and my parents sent her a card for mothers day. She was very thrilled to get the card. She is very proud to be a new mother and to have others recognize this has blossomed her as a young mother. I'll tell you another thing. When we were at a gathering an older woman was going around pinning flowers on the mothers in the room. One of my wife's friends grabbed a flower and pinned it on my wife. My wife is due the end of this month. The older woman went over to my wife and took the flower back and said, "Your not a mother yet." That really hurt my wife. I think a gift from you will be very encouraging to your daughter. It will affirm her as a mother as well.

My parents give me a card each year as well as flowers. I'd at least give her a card, and maybe a little gift. I think all families are different with this though.

I say yes, provided you give the appearance that the gift is coming from your daughter's child(ren).

I think the real intention of Mother's Day is to give thanks to your parent (mother). However, there is nothing wrong with giving your daughter a gift - as a nice gesture.

Of course! You are proud that she is a mother as well now right?

I'm not sure what Emily Post would say, but I am not even a mother and my Mom has occasionally given me gifts/cards on Mother's Day saying "Thank you for making me a mother" her first child I always thought it was sweet.

And woe to the new father who negects to give his new-mother wife a present on her first Mother's Day as a mother! That just seems an obvious opportunity to thank her for all her hard work having that baby.

So I say get her a present if you feel like it. Especially if you find one you know she'd like.

"Mother’s Day. It’s the time to honor Mom, of course; but for many of us there are other people in our lives who fulfill that caring role."

http://www.emilypost.com/everyday/mothers_day.htm

I would say yes. Sounds to me as if this is a new thing, that she has recently become a mother. So, what you should focus on more than if it's right or not to give your daughter a mother's day gift, is the message you want to bring across.Motherhood is sometimes difficult as you well know and congratulating her on what a good job she is doing and reassuring her that you'll be there for her if ever she needs you will make her feel loved and proud of herself. Overall it's something you could both share. You: pride over the daughter that you have raised to be responsible and now a good motherHer: Pride over the wonderful mother that loved her and raised her and gave her an outline of what a mother should be.
here's a nice poem to share what you may want to say:http://www.poemsforfree.com/happ12.html

and an article on an iinterview with a mother and daughter for mother's day
