No particular hobbies apart from walking, but doesn't go far.

Clothes and Jewellery seems a bit unnecessary during lockdown. I don't mean she's a nudist, but I've down jewellery a lot in the past and she's very fussy with clothes, unusual taste.

Previously I'd buy dog related things, but sadly their dog has gone to rainbow bridge.

Photo frame I've done an engraved one before, house is bursting with prints so no room for pictures/ canvas.

Would of down afternoon tea if they weren't so Covid phobic.

I bought a wine hamper at Christmas and will send plants/ flowers for Mother's Day.

Any ideas please ? Just send a cake maybe ?

For my DF’s lockdown birthday, I got him a personalised Ordnance Survey jigsaw map of where he lives. For my parents’ anniversary I got them a jigsaw puzzle of one of their wedding photos. (They love their jigsaws at the moment!)
I got my DMIL a bird box camera for her last birthday. We did drive to their house to install it in their garden, but that wasn’t breaking any rules then! She loves it!
