Mum equivalent of a 'goody bag'??

[saltandvinegardiscos]

It's a bit of a running joke that I get my nephews and nieces a bag of silly presents alongside their proper present for their birthdays. For example, sweets they're not normally allowed, slime/ kinetic sand, blind bags of things they love like Harry Potter etc.

For my sister's birthday, I'd like to get her some things along those lines, but for mums!

What would you like in a little goody bag of surprises?

[Mumsnut]

Tinned cocktail?

[saltandvinegardiscos]

Ooh yes. I've seen some nice-looking little ones in M&S that would be great.

[OneThingAndThenTheNext]

Face mask?

[BodegaSushi]

Cheeky key ring if she's into that kind of humour. Or just a nice key ring

[MiddleParking]

I wouldn’t, all the mums I know would like nothing better than fewer random things cluttering up their houses. Those new little cans of cocktail from M+S are cracking though, if she likes her drinks strong.

Earplugs

[MrsR87]

A gin miniature
A mini Prosecco
bar of dark chocolate
face mask
Nice pen
book
magazine
hand cream
hair bobbles
voucher for babysitting (by you) 😀

[Grumpyfroghats]

If someone did this for me, I would like:

A key ring with a nice family photo
A cocktail or gin miniature
Some of those spiral hairbands which stay in but I always lose
Small jewelry like earrings

[Whataretheodds]

I wouldn't thank you for prosecco, I find it sickly. What does she enjoy drinking?

[saltandvinegardiscos]

Thanks everyone :)

@MiddleParking yes, I don't want to give a bag of tat that will just fill a drawer and get chucked out. I think useable things are the way to go, like the cocktails and face masks.

[Applesinmyhouse]

Bath bomb or bath oil, lip gloss, sheet mask and pick n mix lol.

[saltandvinegardiscos]

Pick n mix!! <3

It depends what she likes, as there are no generic 'mum' gifts that aren't shit.

For me, I'd like wildflower seeds, a copy of Private Eye, Maltesers and an escape card game.

[saltandvinegardiscos]

Oh, the wildflower seeds are a great idea.

This. I am not Generic Woman and so things like sheet masks would be annoying not good.

Oh I'd definitely second pick n mix. It's not a thing you can really buy yourself as an adult (at least without it being a bit embarrassing) but mega nostalgic

[luckylavender]

Book, nail file, note pad, bar of her fav chocolate

[HoobleDooble]

A very sweary inappropriate sticker, coaster or badge from Katie Abey.

[NuffSaidSam]

I'd like:

Terry's Chocolate Orange
Pic n mix
Carmex lip balm
Nice note pad
Pick of hair bobbles
Mini perfume
Scratch card

[ANewAdventure]

A sweary pen. Or a nice one, depending on your recipient.

Neals yard white tea face mist (if it’s still likely to be warm after the birthday!)

[PrincessHoneysuckle]

Vodka and a scratch card

[MagratsDanglyCharms21]

My bil gets me a scratch card every Xmas. I love the anticipation! Also, a goody bag that is a reusable 'nice' bag. I also never turn down a lip gloss!

[WonderDays]

Mini Prosecco
mini baileys
tiny box of Lindt balls or pack of three Ferrero Roche

[AromanticSpices]

Id like:
One of those weekly planner paper pads with a magnet to stick in the fridge, or similar
Puzzle book (logic puzzles or fun lateral thinking ones)
Definitely decent cocktail cans - not tried the m&s ones but Moth are nice
Sweets or Lindor
Scratch cards

[DyslexicPoster]

Travel size toiletries from M&S apothecary range. I love them
