Quirky/unusual Ideas?

This year me and my mum are spending £100.00 on each other. We have both agreed to give novelty/quirky/unusual/fun gifts. Does anybody have any ideas? She loves jewellery. Can't fit anymore ornaments in the house. Doesn't like gardening or cooking. Has lost 6 stone in weight, but wouldn't mind the odd treat (Loves marzipan, hates cream including buttercream. Loves cold custard. Yuk! lol) Doesn't drink alcohol. Has Sky and Netflix. Doesn't wear make up or use any skin treatments. Loves brussels sprouts! Lol Has lots of photos/frames etc. Any ideas???!
I might have to wait until all the gift guides come out, but I just thought I'd post to get some ideas too.

I like Orla Kiely jewellery and have bought some nice bits on Amazon and the kilkenny shop. It is a bit different.
I would like to get nice pjs and slippers.

Chocolate Brussel Sprouts (from The Quirky Gift Library)
Or for other quirky chocolate, look at Choc on Choc and The Chocolate Workshop.
For quirky jewellery, look at Food Jewellery Direct.
Odd Socks United do some great tins of socks.

More practical but a digital photoframe goes down well
A game to play -fishin for floaters lol
If she has a pet and likes quirky prints there are various places that do your pet in water colour or put their head on human body on canvas
A cushion or blanket with your face on it or a family photo

What about a chocolate subscription so that she receives a little treat throughout it the year or whatever time you subscribe to?
