Gosh, reading that's a very kind thing to say.. She is so affectionate towards us and all the rest of the family that we love it when she, DS and small DGS come to stay and don't mind putting in an effort to produce nice vegan food for her.
She has always been a veggie , no problem there, as I rarely eat meat, but we were rather taken aback when they arrived one weekend and DS said "By the way, Mum, Exxxxs a vegan now'.
Anyway, back to suggestions; thank you so much everyone. I don't want to sound negative but some suggestions are so good she already has them like posh insulated flask and string bag, vegan shoes etc. She is not much of a drinker, nor does she really go in for jewellery or make up, and I want to get away from the toiletry route.
But the faux sheepskin slippers are an excellent suggestion, as is the dirty vegan cookbook and vegan candle(s). Their garden is small and professionally landscaped, I bet she would love the bee seeds but DS is very precious about his plot, she would have to sew them very sneakily. Their hobby is climbing and I don't really feel competent to buy that sort of stuff. No, chilisauce. we don't live in London, but they do.
Thanks again everyone, any more ideas?
