What are you getting your mums?

[Newnamefor2021]

I need ideas!

Almost done, just my mum and DH left now.

A craft kit she wanted, a garden ornament and a mini Christmas cake.

Face cream and cleanser set. She’s a nightmare to buy for 😂

Getting my mother in law a felting craft set.

Mine too. I was wondering if I get her Elemis as that's what I use but I don't think she will use it, she's VERY low maintenance.

vouchers for local theatre that does nice matinee plays with food. I think I'll get them annually from now on, she really enjoyed it.

Perfume for under the tree.

I've offered to get her a new handbag but she's told me no. We are going to look tomorrow so we shall see who wins.

Hairdryer. I know how old hers is because I remember the Christmas she got it.

Oh perfume might work!

Wax melts
Vodka
Chocolate
Nightwear
Perfume

I'll probably get her a voucher to share with my dad too. She's simple so I keep it that way. If I see anything else I think she'd like when I'm out and about I'll grab it (jumpers slippers bath stuff etc?

Yeah I bought her a full set from the Inky List for Mother’s Day, and she complained to my brother that it was like a chemistry set. She was a bit taken aback when he told her he used the same products and to try reading the instructions 😂

The weird thing is, she is low maintenance, but she asks for “smellies”, and I’d done loads of body wash and moisturiser bundles, I thought face would be nice for a change. So my thinking was to scale it back for Christmas. I’ll probably just get her bubble bath, now I think about it.

Jumper, afternoon tea voucher and a book about the Queen by her dresser Angela Kelly.,

Bathroom stickers (she asked me ages ago to get her the same ones we have 🤷‍♀️), a Dove gift set, a bottle of egg sweets, fluffy animal socks, foam shower gel, garfield pjs, chocolates, password book, penguin ice cube mould and a shampoo bar 😋

New pjs (at her request) plus some nice pink gin and updated pics of my DC

Hairdryer (if I can find one that meets her very specific requirements)
fitbit
slippers
DD has chosen her a 1000 piece frozen jigsaw because DD loves frozen and granny loves jigsaws! 😂

Buying for my mum gives me terrible anxiety.
I really don't know. Was thinking new makeup bag but then I think why replace a perfectly use able one!

I got mine a voucher for a helicopter ride!

Just because I'm curious, how old is your Mum?

Sheep placemats (no I haven't gone mad, she asked for them!)
Solar lights for her decking
Canvas of a family photo

And finally, she was reminiscing the other week about a chocolate bar "they don't make anymore". It was Caramac. No idea where she got that from. So she's getting several bars of Caramac!

Nothing - we stopped doing presents before the kids were born...

A new telly (joint with my dad) as theirs is so old it’s practically steam powered. It’s somewhat self interested as it drives me crackers every time I stay.

I’ve got my mum some lovely Joules wellies (bargain price via prequel thread in the summer!) and a scarf. Think I may have a bath bomb stashed somewhere too.

Things I'd like....
Fragonard or Monotheme perfume from M&S

Letterbox afternoon tea hamper

Cashmere gloves

Diary/notebook/project book

Family photo ready framed

Breakfast set of crockery

A silk pillowcase

I’m hoping to get a terrarium. I think she’ll like that.

A birdbath that she asked for and randomly... The moose eggnog glass from national lampoon's Christmas vacation because every year she talks about how much she would like one
