Present for mum

[Coffeesoon]

I need to get my mum a add on gift, around £20- £30.Ive already got her a voucher. Shes in her 60s, doesn't like puzzles, gardening, bird baths or anything like that! Any clothes nice get her I never see her wearing again. I'm stuck, any ideas?

Something for her home e.g. a nice reed diffuser?

Does she have favourite chocolate/biscuits/a drink she likes that you could buy?

Nice hand cream?

A bouquet of flowers
A plant
A picture frame with a picture of you in it
A throw
No 7 gift set (my favourite)
A scarf
Are there GC? If so, a mug with their picture on it or a calendar with their photos on every month.
A good quality make up bag.
A book.
Colouring book and coloured pencils
hand wash and body lotion set

NB. She obviously doesn’t like your taste in clothes.

Look on Etsy and Not on the High Street

Puzzles and birdbaths? Heavens!

I’m in my 60s …

A smidgen above your budget I’d love a

Gucci lipstick

if the giver has a decent idea of my colour preferences. Preferably one of those in a rosebud casing.

Or … Something cute from Zara, like this:

skullcap

Or … anything from my long wish list of books. This might be particularly apposite:

Rosalyn Drexler - To Smithereens.

I Would Not Want Anything That Might Be Described Primarily As ‘Nice’.

Shes a young 60 so I was trying to steer away from some of the ideas I see on here!
A gucci lipstick is a good shout but I've no idea of colour

If it doesn’t need to be a surprise you could both have fun with the virtual try on facility. Or, if you’re the same colouring you could try it by yourself and make a choice.

Echo Dot
Luxury hot chocolate
Tote bag
Framed photo

Alternatively - even if one prefers alcohol, an interesting non-alcohol option might be welcome over Christmas:

I’ve bought my mum a cream zipped up teddy fleece from H&M (the same one I have!). It was £20. Earrings or perfume is always a great hit!

I understand! My mum is 80 next month but if I said that people would make all kinds of assumptions about her when in fact she loves current fashion, trying new food (trying new anything really - I had to talk her out of sky diving for her birthday 🙄), jewellery, going to the gym…
