Small gift ideas for worn out mum

As a family we've all agreed not to do gifts this year but I'd like to get something/do something small and thoughtful for my mum. Like many she's had an especially rough 2020, involving the death of her mother from Covid, a major surgery, loss of a job, marriage problems, and caring for her elderly dad with dementia. I work in healthcare and I'm honestly exhausted, and dont seem to have the mental capacity to think at the moment. So any ideas welcome.

Perhaps a flower subscription for a couple of months? Spreads out the joy a bit. Depends on how much you'd like to spend really. There are some new customer offers for Freddie's Flowers around. I'll have a look...

First 2 boxes for £12.50 each and they're beautiful flowers here

On a similar vein, a magazine subscription?

A small hamper of pamper items, like bubble bath/bath bombs, face mask, etc?

I had a brief look at the National trust online shop today. There’s some nice stuff she might appreciate.

My mum always had her nails done. So how about a voucher for a pedi? And take her there with a lunch afterwards - your time is probably what she wants most.

Thank you so much. I was thinking of a flower subscription actually. My neighbour gave me her Freddie's delivery a few months back as she forgot to cancel while she was away. The flowers were lovely and lasted ages Grin
