MIL birthday gift

[Modestandatinybitsexy]

Help please! MIL has a birthday very soon and I'd like to get her something really nice.
She's a childminder and provides free childcare for us so we like to splurge a little or try and get something she really wants. Only problem is that she doesn't know what she wants!

She's a bit of a homebody, loves her sons and grandchildren to pieces, drinks tea to survive, her youngest son is about to get married just after her bday, she likes to read, watch real crime dramas and a spot of gardening.

Previous bday gifts that went down well were a radley bag and a mug with a cockapoo that looks like hers.

Any suggestions? I'm tearing my hair out!

Where is the wedding? Maybe you can treat her to a lovely hotel for the trip or, if she's into family, suggest a lovely paid meal out with however many of the family is appropraite/affordable?

Does she have a Kindle? A kindle with a generous Amazon voucher attached works for people who like to read.

Jewellery with grandchildren finger prints etc?

You get fabulous personalised gardening kit - eg mini trowels, pots etc - on websites like Etsy and NotOnTheHighStreet.

The wedding's close by and the room's part of the package. I did think of beauty treatments for the wedding but her friend is doing her hair and make up for her.

I had thought about a meal but we have small children so it wouldn't be particularly restful. And I think she and FIL would be uncomfortable us paying for somewhere fancy for just them.

Sorry, don't mean to shoot down all your ideas! The fingerprint idea is lovely, will have a look into that one. Thanks :)

My MIL is also a keen gardener and she loves to go to see some of the different Gardens i - would something like a trip to Sissinghurst be something she would find a treat (take her there - or something like that)

Afternoon tea for her, husband and 2 friends.

Her nails done for the wedding.

Another bag - or shoes to match the original bag.

A nice scarf.

Theatre tickets/vouchers.

A visit to a nice gardens definitely - or a local gardening show with some spending money.

Has she got an outfit for the wedding?
And extra night in the hotel either before or after?
Afternoon tea? A spa voucher?
