What are you getting your mum for Christmas?

[christmasiscoming31]

If you are getting a gift for your mum this year, what are you getting her?

A photo book ( recently had a milestone birthday with surprise party), chocolates ( handmade locally) and theatre tickets

Perfume
Nice shampoo and conditioner
Calendar with various pictures of the family on it
Lip salve

A nightie and a personalised calendar with photos of the grandchildren.

Cheese.

She's doing Keto. It's from the bath fine cheese co. In fact I'm sending everyone cheese because we won't see them this Christmas.

A pair of nice slippers from John Lewis.

A cinema voucher. She said she didn't want material items cluttering her house and would like this. Sadly though we can't say what we would like for Xmas/birthday as that is very ungrateful, so I will end up with things I can't use again, I would rather have nothing.

Whatever she asks me for.

Perfume ( Daisy M.Jacobs)
Costume jewellery ( crystal earrings from Next)
Fudge

I'm getting my mum a tassimo coffee machine (I think) still confused as to which one I should get her

A Radley bag

A fossil purse, Amazon Alexa and the book by Princess Margaret's lady in waiting

Parents - a (small) hamper from Scottish Foods. Mother, have sent her some home produced olive oil.

A voucher for her local salon for 2 blowdry's, wax warmer and some melts, lush products (she loves them) and a bottle of her favourite perfume.

A big set of Yankee candles, a canvas of the DC and some photo magnets.

I'm getting my mum an Orla Kiely alarm clock.
She mentioned a while ago that she's like a traditional one, but I decided to not get one of those, because she's very noise intolerant and jumpy (like Margaret in Catherine Tate show)

Some skincare products she asked for and a wick trimmer.

Yoga outfit and probably some other nice bits

Écho Dot, puzzle books, a calendar of old photos of our city ( she lives abroad ) and some sweets

Slippers and perfume.

For both parents (joint gifts) a bird house with a little plaque on it saying its from my kids and a photo calender including pics of all family

A case of wine. Not sure what else. Sick of buying her stuff and never seeing her use it.

We are both fed up of stuff, so instead each Christmas and birthday (our birthdays are within a few days of each other midsummer) we meet up and go for a really special lunch somewhere.

Last time was River Cafe.

For my 69yr old mum I've got her:
Samsung galaxy tablet and case
Huge tub of haribo jelly beans
Thorntons fudge
Cadburys Turkish delight from Ireland.
Candle with jewellery inside
New phone case

NC as outing when combined with other posts.

Her own stone at the Leeds United centenary at Elland Road. She'll be there forever

Ticket to visit the ennerdale studio tour with me in the new year
