I don't want to be blindingly obvious, but it's all I can think of- a cross on a chain? Small earrings in the shape of crosses? Is there any kind of top which goes particularly well with dog collars? (comfortable shape I mean, not aestetically pleasing, necessarily). A lovely prayer book? Flowers?
Sorry, nothing original

aesthetically, sorry

That what I was just going to say Stressy, just buy a pressies that you'd buy any friends mum.....it doesn't have to be relevent to her job.

Unless thats what shes asked for, in which case i'm no help at all

It depends do you know her? Perhaps she just likes normal girly things, and is sick of getting holy goods. Otherwise i always think a nice crib and nativity set is a lovely present for the pure of heart at this time of year

book - 'How to Read a Church'!!

iTS A FRIENDS Mum she is 50+ and is evangelical ( Ithink)

thanks for all this so far

No it must be linked - she has other mUm stuff

I think she wants to mark the new beginning...

the how to read book - is it the one about symbols I can see on..(whispers) amazon?

Evangelical, don't they like jesus rave? Get her an album. How about a really lovely bible, a prayer bear, A vestment scarf thingy, hymn book, a service said on your behalf at your local church for a long and peacefull ordination ( you pay for a service)............is this on the right lines should i think of more?

Have found a good holy jewellery place here
Takea look guys

Id have some of the stuff and I am not a vicar!

i like the nativity pin...........loads of nice stuff on there coddy

That bracelets really lovely, is that what youve decided on, £50????????

Isnt it?!!

I like the circle of light bracelet.. But dont know what taste she has - I like the understated symbolism

OH BTW its for friend to buy Mum not me!

Thanks for the website though i'll keep it in my favourites, good stuff for christenings etc....

The book Thomcat recommended is also being done by the Book People, much cheaper than A.....! I got it for my uncle for Christmas, actually.

who would htink you could say beautiful stuff and religious jewellery in the same breath?

My mother

I asked my (retd. vicar) dad for stuff and he (the realist) suggested some Pc software for storing parish records!!

I think thats a few years off!

LOL ff
