My man and I are stumped for ideas for his mum’s upcoming 75th birthday. She’s always hard to buy for but we want to do something considering the milestone.
She’s really into gardening and that’s about the only hobby. We got her a hori hori knife a couple of years ago based on recommendations I read here, and she loves it. The only other successful gift I can recall was a wool jacket which she had asked for.
She’s an incredibly fussy eater so no food or food-related items. Grows a lot of her own fruit and veg and only eats organic stuff. Only uses natural/organic products and fabrics,. A bit of a hippy and not into anything luxurious or frivolous, and quite thrifty. Doesn’t wear makeup and wouldn't appreciate beauty treatments. Wears very little jewellery. I can’t think of an ‘experience’ she would like. Lives quite rurally and loves her garden, kayaking and her granddaughter. Used to sing in a choir but I’m not sure if she does any more.
Any brainwaves? we don’t live in UK so any ideas would need to be generic/not location-specific.
all ideas very very welcome!
edit to clarify I’m looking for a gift idea rather than something to do for her birthday as FIL is organizing a meal or similar on the day.
