Gift ideas for mum and her partner

6 replies

Piplette · 25/11/2020 23:15

Typically I buy my mum and her partner a large joint gift such as restaurant vouchers or couple of nights away somewhere.

Given the ongoing pandemic I'm reluctant to give a gift that may be difficult for them to use.

I've bought them a nice food hamper and some booze and personalised mugs but want to get them some more as they are such a good help to us.

Any suggestions?

I'd feel comfortable buying my mum gifts just for her but I don't know her partner as well so would struggle a bit to get a gift that would be really special and personal to him.

Suggestions welcome!

Some very special crystal glasses to drink the booze from? A regular delivery of something nice - flowers/wine/whisky/cheese? Vouchers for somewhere that does takeaways near them?

Can you ask you mum for some suggestions. Someone bought me a magazine subscription last year and I love it

Vouchers for home delivery from a good restaurant. Filled planters if they have a garden.

I've tried asking her but she says she doesn't beed much 🙄.

They don't live together permanently so gifts for the home don't really work.

Might get them some just eat vouchers or just do individual presents although that isn't easy either as my mum has no hobbies, doesn't read, is quite overweight and constantly on a diet so doesn't want clothes until she's lost weight. Her partner doesn't drink but likes gardening so might get him some garden related gifts.
