It's my Mum's birthday next week. We're getting her a magazine subscription which she knows about and I've said we won't be able to give her much else. I always get flowers. Any ideas for a small gift to open, say up to £5. She's trying to lose weight so want to avoid food/drink and I've given her lots of handcreams/toiletries over the years.

A plant is a great option, m&s have cute succulents in Perry pig and other festive pots for around £6

Seeing as the OP's mum's birthday was May she's probably sorted by now.
