Does anyone have any ideas for alternative gifts to flowers for MIL for Mother's Day? She's almost impossible to buy for at the best of times, and I'll be heavily pregnant or have a newborn baby on Mother's Day - so sending flowers would be perfect, except we already sent flowers for her January birthday and repeating feels very boring. She's at a point where she has a few hobbies she loves, which she doesn't need anything else for, and most consumable or experience gifts don't work for her.
- if relevant, she's in her sixties
- she lives 4 hours away so joint experiences aren't practical, especially with the baby
- she doesn't drink alcohol and has frequently changing dietary requirements, so food and drink gifts are out, and cooking is a chore for her, so no kitchen related gifts. We've had some success with tea and coffee gifts before
- she likes knitting and sewing, but already has everything she needs and more besides for those
- she loves her garden, but again is sorted equipment wise and if anything she's trying to declutter there. A plant for the garden was the only thought I had
- she doesn't like anything scented for around the home or candles etc. Toiletries are hit or miss
- she doesn't visit cafes or coffee shops so a local voucher is also out
- she struggles with focus so doesn't read books and has no interest in any stationery items
- she has no interest in jewellery or fashion
I'm fully aware that this is DH's responsibility and he always has and will sort it, but just posting after a conversation with him where he asked if I had any inspiration and I didn't, I thought I'd crowdsource responses.
