What are you buying your mum for xmas?

[jugglingjobs]

I have no idea what to buy my mum, she doesn't have any hobbies, she's not into fancy bath sets etc.

I might be going to a designer outlet shop so I'm thinking of getting her something from there, just wondering what others are getting for their mums

My mother in law but she’s similar. I’ve got a nice rAdley bag from the outlet shop for when she goes to the bowling club, a litre of baileys, a box of m n s chocs, some candles and a wee body shop set.

It’s tough isn’t it. I just buy things I would like but toned down now for her.

My mum is 80 and has always wanted a really comfy electric recliner chair, it was ordered ages ago so fingers crossed it arrives in time! Also some jigsaw puzzles, hand creams and other small stocking fillers.

I have no advice but my mum is the most difficult to buy for:
No hobbies
hates flowers / plants etc
No alcohol
No books
No perfume
No restaurant vouchers

In fact she also regifts anything that she gets - I used to think this was v v rude then I realised that if I get something I like I'll get it back!

We're often stumped too. Sometimes we've done practical things that she needs like redecorate a room in her house, some new lighting another time and even a washing machine one year when hers packed up just before Christmas. Not very exciting gifts but they've been something she needed doing at the time.

Some snow boots for walking the dog
Pandora charm

Nothing. I am on strict instructions to donate the money to the food bank.

Voucher for beauty place she likes. Also considered a subscription. I guess you could do a voucher fir a day out or afternoon tea?

A handbag, Amaretto chocs from Hotel Chocolat and a subscription for Good Housekeeping magazine

A chunky cardigan, a fancy photo frame from Cox and Cox, the annual school pic of DC1 and some personalised baubles.

I might be the same age as your mum and I love being given vouchers for John Lewis or similar so I can go on a little shopping spree and buy myself treats.

A beautiful scarf, chocolates and a mug - I hope she likes them but if not, at least she'll have something to open on Christmas Day!

Theatre tickets For the Jodie Comer Play Prima Facie next year, a jigsaw and giant sized dark chocolate toblerone

A hot food flask to take on days out
Photo calendar of the kids
Voucher for an afternoon tea

A jewellery stand for her long necklaces and an air fryer. She's asked for these things, it's not my idea to go so practical.

I'm doing a custom diamond painting of a photo of me and DD. Something to stick on her wall and hopefully she will be touched that I've spent many hours doing it. Works for me too as I find it a calming activity and bought the kit from Amazon for about £15!

Postal flower subscription for 6 months (just runs out in time for me to get one for her birthday if she likes it)

Fitbit dupe and some earrings

What is this? It's made of diamonds?

Face cream, fluffy pyjamas, gin and a Walking with Wolves Day.

I’m probably old enough to be your Mum!

Fingerless gloves
Amazon voucher for Kindle books
Posh chocolate (Prestat, Godiva)
Fancy biscuits and jams

Snakeskin patterned trainers from Lotus. They are lace up with zips making them easy to get on or off. They are a bold design but funky. She’s 76 and will either love them or hate them.

I'm getting mine a hori hori gardening knife, a photo book and photo calendar.

A tiny ‘cream tea’ gin,
A tiny tin of 3 ‘emergency tea bags’ from F&M,
Mojito after eights
A personalised bag for when she goes to the caravan,
A personalised Christmas food platter with her nickname on

Books
Magazine subscription - mine wanted nothing but loves Prima popping through her door every month.

Something luxe - cashmere, caviar, and not expensive in itself but something you wouldn’t buy.
