these random things my mum has asked for for her birthday! She's given me general hints but not specific products and they're proving hard to source! From tomorrow onwards I'm working 14 hour days every day til her birthday in mid July and won't have a chance to shop, so I need to find everything online as fast as possible! I'd seriously appreciate your help.
- Embroidered hand towels. 2 or 3 high quality (Laura Ashley type thing) white hand towels with some sort of embroidery - I was thinking maybe seashells, or birds, or wildflowers.
- A non-leaking coffee flask for picnics. There are millions of stainless steel flask water bottles out there but it needs to be one with a lid that doubles as a cup - you can't really swig espresso from the bottle! A pretty design though, not your camping shop thermos!
- A cream coloured watering can for her houseplants, classic rather than modern style, maybe with some sort of cute detailing on it so it's not too basic and boring a present
- A white short sleeve blouse with a pretty collar. White Company type style and price range, but she didn't see any she liked in the store the other day.
- A souffle dish. Really easy to find this online actually but I wondered if there's a fancy brand I should go for as it's a present, rather than just your basic John Lewis? I don't know, what would you recommend?
- A German or French magazine aimed at mums with young families. Something fairly glossy, not too cheap and cheerful. I can't find anything suitable on Unique Magazines where she gets her Brigitte mags from, so I would be very grateful for info on where to order from as well as a suitable title! Just looking for a single mag not a subscription.
- An audiobook CD. Something very similar to the Maeve Binchy books, but I think she's got all of them.
- A grey skirt. Short (ish) to knee length, A-line type thing. Again she likes White Company style/quality/price range.
Any help and suggestions very gratefully received!!
