Gifts for moms

[Angie1978]

What are you getting yours?

So far I have a magazine subscription ........, looking for inspiration

Some homemade jam and a box of chocolates

Its her birthday christmas eve so she gets quite a bit

4 x cookbooks - she likes Gino whatheisface at the moment and new aprons (she is a cook)
Molton Brown handwash set, reed diffuser thing and perfume
British Bake Off calendar

Still to get - something to watch probably Mrs Browns Boys film, personalised necklace from not on the high street, something from Cath Kidston, No. 7 stuff

Clothes - tops, cardigan, scarf -this is what she likes best.

Also a notebook for her family history research (her favourite hobby) and a key ring with a photo of dd.

Forgot - usually get her some slippers and nightwear

My mums getting a fruit tree, a book on vegetable gardens month by month, and a little gardening hamper I'll be putting together including a fork and trowel set, new gardening gloves, a vegetable themed mug I found in tesco, hand wash and cream and anything else I can find that's small and useful looking :)

Also chocolate. Because she's more of a chocolate addict than me even.

She is already a fairly keen gardener with a huge and very lovely garden, but she mentioned she's planning on starting a vegetable garden in the new year :D

Me and my youngest brother are going halves on getting her Sims4 for her laptop and sister is getting her the latest C J Sansom book.

My Mum hates 'conventional' Mum gifts! She likes games/DVDs/books. Woe betide anyone who buys her make-up/perfume/clothing (I'm looking at you SIL!)

What's your budget?

A handbag. An auto-biography. A fun garden ornament. One line a day diary. For her birthday the month before sis and i are taking her for spa day and afternoon tea.

I was thinking of a National Trust membership. Or one of these silver name necklaces.

mine is getting flowery walking poles

and egg cups to match her salt and pepper set (seriously she loves this kind of thing)

that's a good start for me
