Ideas for a special present for MIL & SIL

7 replies

Each Christmas I get my MIL & SIL an extra, special present, as a thank you for all the help they give me with my DC over the year. It tends to be something like an experience, which we then all do together.

I am stuck for ideas this year though, as I like to try to do something different each year. We have done the usual Spa days & afternoon teas. One year we did a chocolate making workshop, and this year we did a Ladies Day at the races.

Anyone got any suggestions for something a bit different, but a bit special too?

Is there anything like a jewellery making workshop locally?

Depends on your budget & what they would view as a treat but book Waitrose cookery school day, Nutcracker ballet with lunch/dinner, Hot Air Balloon Trip,

Tickets to a show - Full.Monty or Mama Mia or something?

I've heard of perfume making and testing (smelling) experiences. I'd love to do it!
I think you can do it at jo malone (maybe just testing) and they find your ideal fragrance. Should be nice!

Our local vineyard does tours, tastings and has a seriously nice restaurant.

Local cider place does to.

Vineyard has accommodation and does Breakfast on the veranda overlooking the vines which would be absolutely beautiful on a sunny morning.
