Please help me find a Christmas present for DM. Probably up to about £35.
In some ways she is easy to buy for. She likes books and culture and nice food etc. But she has plenty of money and buys these as and when she sees or wants them so I have no idea what she has and doesn't have.
I want to get her something - not a voucher or a charity gift.
She doesn't like gardening.
She likes cooking but has every gadget imaginable and such a well stocked larder and Ocado habit that a hamper not that practical. She doesn't drink. I wouldn't dream of buying her clothes.
She has had nearly 40 years of ds and I buying her cushions and earrings and photo frames etc and five years of us buying her things with pics of the kids on. Db has taken to buying her afternoon teas in nice hotels etc so that's covered.
She had some physical issues so lots of 'experiences' are out but also not really in my budget.
She is quite into the family tree at moment so have thought about a subscription to ancestry magazine but other family tree related ideas very welcome.
Things that have gone down well in past have been:
History of the world in 100 objects book (but took a punt she didn't have it - and she didn't!)
One of those word maps made into a framed print of things the kids like doing with her eg making fairy cakes, swimming, splashing etc (well recommended for anyone looking for grandparent ideas - was from Not on the high street).
A cool board game for her but really for her to play with the kids
Nice earrings
A cake stand
Also open to getting a stocking of smaller stuff instead of a bigger present if the ideas are right.
Any ideas. Please. Or will this be impossible? The kids are giving her home made decorated boxes for her jewellery.
