I’ve bought my mother a beautiful frame from M&S and I’ll get a photo printed slightly closer to the time. Not sure what else to get her to go with it. Maybe some flowers.

My mum died recently but I used to always get flowers and perfume for her

So sorry to hear this, mine did too a few months back so know how you feel.
I used to always buy her flowers or maybe a necklace but this year I'm wanting to plant some seeds of some pretty flowers. To feel like I'm still getting her something, being "with" her doing something so to speak.

A card if she's lucky! I don't even know when it is.

She passed away suddenly last year and this year will be the first without 💔 so I've been thinking I'll maybe plant some seeds, some nice flowers for her

I’m so sorry for your loss. Both sound like a lovely idea. ❤️

I’ve bought my mum a travel set of l’occitane shower gels as she goes on a cruise soon and thought It would be nice to have a little luxury in the shower. Unfortunately they don’t look like they cost the £30 price tag but what does these days. I hope she likes them.

I saw a lovely trinket today in a jewelers that I think mum might like, very ornate and it caught my eye so I think she might like that. Or is saw an ornate pretty fan that was also lovely online

Really sorry to hear that @SugarPuffSandwiches planting some seeds sounds like a lovely idea.

She lives two hours away so I usually send her flowers.
