So, my mum this year has been even more of a star than usual - I had a nasty ankle injury on holiday in August (not broken, but damage to the ligaments and tendons in it), so she basically looked after me whilst I recovered from that (several weeks - both abroad and back home); now my dad has just had a hip replacement, so she's looking after him too (I am helping where I can, incidentally!).
I would like to put together an advent calendar for her this year - little things to say thank you and that we appreciate what she's done for us. I haven't mentioned it to my dad yet, but he will be on board!
So, I'm looking for things to put in it - I am currently crocheting small stockings to make an advent calendar, but the items don't have to fit in them, I could do it a different way (a 'voucher' for the item, for example). I know it's an ask, but I'm looking for things that aren't massively expensive, as there's obviously Christmas on top of it!
So far, I have:
Earrings
Keyring
Lipbalm
Fluffy Socks
Chocolate of some sort
I know some wonderful people with wonderful ideas frequent this board, so does anyone have any suggestions?? I will be searching online as well, I'm not looking for someone to give me all the answers!
Thanks in advance - I just want to make a fuss of her for being so awesome the last few months.
