I thought I would come here for some good old mumsnet honesty lol. My lovely mother in law turns 70 next week, I want it to be special but we have 3 children and I'm on mat leave so we aren't exactly flush and she is aware of this but this is what we have planned so far and the gifts are -
Saturday afternoon tea at a posh hotel for herself, FIL, DH and myself. (£80 altogether which we are paying for)
A Sunday roast at ours which I'm cooking for us including our children
Gifts -
A framed photo of 'born in 1954'
A 70th birthday coaster
Bunch of big flowers
70th birthday helium balloon
I'm aware i need to get her something else but I'm stumped for ideas, she doesn't drink, eat chocolate due to dental problems and I'm honestly stuck I don't want her to be disappointed but I can't spend much more either. Honest opinions please if this seems enough or a bit shit I won't be offended!
