Mother’s Day gift ideas for 50 year olds

MooPointCowsOpinion · 06/03/2020 20:22

My approx 50 year old mum works her socks off at her own business, runs a busy household, isn’t at all the cuddly/crafting/decor/flowers etc type but she does like to cook and bake. Wouldn’t dream of picking clothing for her either, she’s quite l off compared to us and wouldn’t appreciate clothes in our budget.

What would you like if you’re a similar type? I’m thinking a beautiful new baking dish perhaps?

I'm 52 mother to three adult children.
I like a voucher for my beauticians or something from the skin care brand I use. Also love pj's expensive candles and luxury shampoo/conditioner sets.
Kevin Murphy, Keratesse,or Philip Kingsley are brands I like.
I like Clarins hand cream. I also like handbags and scarves. I really love a luxury body lotion.
Hope this helps.

What’s your budget? I’m a keen baker and would love to be given a Nordicware Bundt tin.

You might need to ferret around her kitchen & see what is looking tired.

Interested in this thread?

What about a voucher for a one day cookery course in something she'd like to learn more about - I've seen them for speciality breads, making your own pasta, that type of thing

What is your budget? Not for my mum, but I'm getting this as a gift for someone this year. They love baking and this will be right up their street - a chance to try new recipes without having to buy huge quantities of ingredients they may never use again.

You're talking about me.

I would love a cookery course voucher. Or you could get her some niche, expensive spices, or an interestingly shaped cake tin, or a new pinny, or a cookery book - such as this one www.amazon.co.uk/Perfect-Afternoon-Tea-Recipe-Book/dp/0754834514

I’m 49. Mum of 8 and 11 year olds. Work full time. Whatever you get, I would like quality over quantity ie: I’d prefer a fair a house quality wool socks, to a synthetic jumper. Or a good ceramic measuring jug to a KMix etc.
