I am stuck with what to get my mum for Christmas. Can anyone help me with some ideas?
She's quite girly and likes beauty type things. I have bought jewellery and PJ/dressing gown things in the past but this year I am stuck. She is in her 50's if that helps. Budget would be about £75 but I could go higher if necessary.
Thanks so much Smile

If she's anything like my mum it'll be perfume and this time of year most things come in a gift box with body lotion or something

Nice faux fur mule slippers. Tkmaxx have some nice ones or John Lewis.
What about an Elemis/loccitane/Moltan brown gift set.

Its my mum's birthday as well on Christmas Eve - its a pain

I get her a couple of advent calendars - beauty and chocolate for the 1st December with a new decoration.

For her birthday she will get flowers, meal out, white stuff Seychelles stuff which she likes, rituals body stuff, tina turner biog

For Christmas - she has a personalised little drawer set thing from Lisa Angel which I'll fill with things such as earrings, scratchcard, lip salve etc, M&S voucher, calendar, another book, personalised purse from Fossil

It gets harder every year - I got her a Dyson last year.

Gift voucher for a manicure/pedicure/facial?

Magazine subscription - I love doing this for my mum because she gets something every month. If she likes beauty and fashion she might like Vogue. Then you could buy her something to unwrap - a luxury cosmetic she wouldn’t buy for herself. I normally get my mum Clarins on this basis - she loves Clarins, but buys Boots for herself.

I brought my mum a personalised make up bag, one big one and one smaller one. One has her name and the other says fabulous. You can choose the type, colour and wording.
How about a nice hand lotion set?
Luxury box of chocs? Fav bottle of wine/alcohol etc

I buy my Mum a monthly flower subscription with Bloom and Wild- it’s the best present I have ever bought. As it’s more money over the year she likes me to say it’s for birthday too so she gets chocs etc then. I can’t recommend enough and you will get a code for 10 pounds or so off your first order if you look around.

I am 50. I like glam things. I would love a luxury magazine subscription, like Vogue. Tatler or House & Garden. I would also like tickets to see Dior exhibition at the V&A next year. I would a like Lulu Guinness credit card holder, or a Jo Malone bath oil and some nice milk chocolates. I would like some contemporary fiction or a fashion coffee table book. Hope that helps.

Wow! Some great ideas on here. Thank you so much. I'm sure she would like all of the things suggested, I just need to choose now. I'm going to have a look at some of the ideas suggested online now.
Thank you!
