I am traditionally appalling at giving/choosing gifts.
My mother is 65. She has just bought a new car, not sure what year, so not sure whether it has satnav, but can find out from my sister. I think it might annoy her though and she might not use it. Idea #1
She has jewellery to beat Mr. T.
She is overweight and fluctuates a lot in size, her clothing choices would not be mine so I couldn't pick anything she'd like.
I thought of a voucher to have a good bra fitting with a lovely shop locally, but I think she'd be too embarrassed.
She doesn't go to hairdressers, spas, anything like that.
In the past I have have bought perfume, Elizabeth Arden face cream sets, a cake slice thingymebob, a set of 8 leather placemats (which she never uses as they're for good wear) lol. A scarf which she never wore.
She's a cleaner and has a lot of hip pain but refuses to go to a doctor.
She's quite a difficult woman.
Her house is like a trinket shop.
Oh, she goes to weekly art classes, so maybe some sort of art set might be a good idea? Maybe a professional set of paint-brushes or something? Could find out from my sister what she has or needs.
She's a good cook, but a traditional one. Slow cookers etc. would be out of the question. I did once buy her one of those multi-purpose chop/slice/whizz/kitchen thingys but she hasn't used it.
My budget would be about £50. I'm straying towards the professional paint brushes now that I think of it, but I don't know if she has them already as she's painting years.
Any inspiration, no matter how off the wall you think it might be would be much appreciated.
