So what are you buying your mother?

[BitOutOfPractice]

I'm stuck completely for ideas for my lovely 80yo mom

Please inspire me!

Jigsaws. She’s housebound and still enjoys them (even though she needs to use a magnifying glass to see the pieces)

Game of Thones S7 (as requested )

And afternoon tea voucher at posh local hotel and cashmere snood thing from Turtle Doves.

An annual subscription for her favourite magazine.

Magazine subscription here too, also for 80+ year old. Plus a jigsaw, a book, DVD about lovely gardens. Calendar & diary at her request. Then stocking fillers, mainly practical things she'll use up

Oh and some mini jams and chutneys so she gets a variety.

Strictly Come Dancing tour tickets, she is mad about it.
Might also look into Joanna Lumley tour as she pretty much has all stuff she wants.

A CD/tape/radio so she can play her old tapes! A marble angel and beauty salon vouchers

So far Cashmere wrist warmers from TurtleDoves. Don't know what else....

Lovely personalised Tree Of Life broach
Personalised blanket scarf

My mum, 78, fitbit Alta.

My mother is 87 and very active - I've in the past got her: tickets to a ballet, a manicure, a hair appointment (she goes every week), hand cream, face cream, lunch for two (with my father), framed photograph of my DD. I used to buy a piece of Lladro but she requested no more "things" a few years ago.

A mug with the grankids mugs on it, a bottle of her favourite perfume and some chocolates.

I'm getting my mum the ancestry.com DNA testing kit, a photo calendar of the kids and a mini photo book of a holiday we took together last year. The kids will also make a decoration or something. And a copy of the kid's school photo in the size she wants.

Oh you marvellous people! Done brilliant ideas here and I so love the amazing variety of moms we have

Sadly lost mine too, very suddenly if I could go back I would have absolutely spoiled her rotten!! I was student and didn't earn much but I should have saved every penny to spoil her, she was devoted mother. I always appreciated her deeply but since seeing Mil in action... Wow... Spoil your mums!

Aww I will. I'm sure she knew she was loved and appreciated

Is this a cute but slightly smelly choc with bite.

My mum is ‘quirky’ I have bought her a massive spider necklace from tatty Devine and a Christie’s the jewellery archives book (she wanted both of these) also getting a little something else possibly Clarins shower mousse

My mum is 58 and gets more eccentric with age 😂

I'd never even heard of wrist warmers or bee hotels before

Etsy have lots of antique/vintage books for great prices! I want to get my mum a vintage copy of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, which is her favourite

A glamorous walking stick from Emilyhannah and some bb cream to try. We have similar skin and it's really improved my life.

I'm buying mine a watch that she'll be able to read the numbers on - I've noticed she's always squinting at her current watch as it has a shiny face and she can't always make out what the time is!

Tickets to The Nutcracker ballet.

Birdbox and bird feeders.
