Help what to get my mum who has everything...

[Stylelostinlabour]

Can you help I've run out of ideas, she has every beauty product going, kindle etc

Its going to be a hard christmas so want to make sure I get her some lovely gifts

I've dragged her round JL today and nothing took her fancy

House of Colour or CMB?

Even if she has a circular needle the quality of them is just so good and the set has different size needles and you can change the points without disturbing the knitting already done. (ps. I am your Mum's age )

Sorry about your Dad. My Mum is also on her own after losing my Dad when she was only 58 and I know all about being careful to buy presents when things are sensitive and act as reminders.

White Company do lovely dressing gowns - both towelling and waffle. I've bought my Mum both in the past. I've also bought nice cashmere scarves etc. Do you have children - lovely framed photos are also nice.

Think you'll enjoy the spa. We went away for the New Year after my dad died as Mum didn't really want to do anything, especially with couples around. The spa was 98% females so was perfect!

Tickets for a show in the West End that you can go to together?

magazine subscription. Tea at the Ritz

Thanks lambandmintsauce will look at White company for dressing gown thought Jan would be good to go spa what with it being after Christmas, knowmwhat you mean about couple mum's worse nightmare!

Will look at shows - hoping to go away in April for a bit of sun with daughter as well. Think I might be over thinking it bu know how much she loves little surprises etc

London day best idea so far. I personally would also welcome a selection of Space NK goodies but do admit I make it easy for my DH and DS by compiling a wish list on their website. Did put together one for my SIL last year though as a surprise after a tough year and seemed to go down well.

Does she like Spanish jamon? Brindisa in Borough Market do Spanish ham cutting classes. I think they do cheese and Spanish meat appreciation type classes too? For something different??

Oh no but hubby does !

Is she into baking, a cup cake decorating course?

I was wanting some for her to open rather than an event in the future. Have bought White company gown now need to get some lovely stocking fillers

But do now have a list of treats for us to do throughout the year

Sorry - no great ideas but you sound so lovely and close. Wish I'd been close to my mum. Hoping your Christmas is as good as it can be.

What about some cashmere socks and cashmere hot water bottle cover from brora to go with the dressing gown.

What about a nice portrait from an old photo of her and your dad? Or a charicature (sp)/funny one of your dad in favourite/amusing scene?

Thank you for all the lovely ideas just to update I have gone with an photo I have of them, dressing gown White company and elemis nourishing bath and some choc dad always bought (it'll make us both cry but sometimes its not a bad thing)

Sounds lovely.

Sounds perfect. You've got me welling up and I don't even know you!

I hope your Christmas goes really well.

And I'm glad you started this thread because now I've got some perfect gift ideas too!

Why don't you think about a massage or accuppuncture or something like that where people are looking after her. I imagine she might need something like that after what she is going through.
