What are you getting your mum for Mother’s Day? Budget edition

Just that really and sorry if it’s been done.
Mum is 68, no hobbies except shopping. Siblings and I plus grandkids have arranged to go out for breakfast on the day but she’ll like a token gift too.
i want something better than a bunch of flowers but don’t want to spend loads. Her ideal gift would probably be a Dyson hair wrap or something. She’s a shopaholic and does like to treat herself.
hoping for some inspiration for something that’s thoughtful.

Thanks 😊

Seeing this a bit late, but if there is an idea of a perfect gift, can't you just get her that? Unless she hasn't already bought it herself, a Dyson hair wrap sounds great. Maybe the grandkids could make a card for her or you can make a Mother's day slideshow with her photos, here is an example of one.
If you don't want to buy her stuff, you can get her a gift card to a store she's frequent at or a spa or nail salon certificate. This way she'll get exactly what she wants for hersefl.

You clearly missed the "budget edition" in the title!

She sounds rather materialistic and already spoils herself, so it's tricky, OP.

This is small but cute:

Perhaps along with some Charbonnel Champagne truffles?
