Hi sorry but could really use some help. My youngest dd is currently in hospital unexpectedly and so I'm running way behind with my Christmas shopping.
I've somehow managed not to yet get anything for my mum (60s active, crafty, loves photography) or my ds1 (11, quirky, Hayes computers/computer games/technology in general, doesn't play with toys really, loves playing outside imaginative games and books but we are drowning in them)
Any suggestions for gifts would be gratefully received thanksSmile

I've got my DM a very Kidston umbrella - would your mother like something like that?

Other ideas:
Nice Pajamas from somewhere like Next
Perfume
Emma Bridgewater mug
Materials relating to her favourite craft or Kirstie Allsop does craft kitted like candle making or bath bomb making - think they sell them in hobby craft
Joules wellies or wellibobs

I ordered my mum £40 worth of flowers from my favourite florist which I'll pick up on Christmas Eve. She's slightly older then your mum at 70 and not keen to accumulate more stuff but I know she will appreciate having lovely flowers. Wish someone would get some for me!
