Gift for my lovely mum 60+

It's my lovely mum's birthday soon, she is in her 60's. Size 8/10, youthful but classic in style, bright rather than muted tones. I need a good gift idea, was thinking maybe a nice knit. But doesn't need to be clothing. But open to suggestions. I don't live in the uk, so it's needs to be an online gift. Budget £50-100. Don't want to voucher or experience. HELP!

Have a look at woolovers cashmere
They do some lovely items (check their clearance offers as well!)

I’m a lovely mum 60+ :) and would love to receive some from this range .stackers.com/jewellery-boxes/travel-jewellery-box.html

Or Tom Ford Oud Wood fragrance .

I'm not lovely but I tick the other boxes and I would be thrilled with:

A fashion book - I'm not sure what's around at the moment but something with good photographs.

A leather belt.

Vivienne Westwood jewellery: The rings, brooches, pins and earrings start from £50

A spoon ring Probably much better made than VW. Etsy have loads too.

Margaret Howell top I know, I know - £75 for a T shirt but what the hell if it's my birthday and you're paying.

Or (and I know you said no experiences but I'll be cheeky) tickets for the Christian Dior or (and??) Mary Quant exhibitions at the V&A. I would happily pay the train fair.

I’m over 60 but not a mum or particularly lovely. I don’t want more things. Take me to a show, exhibition, lunch etc. Or champagne and chocolates.

@imsorryiasked - I like the knits but might try and find something with more detailing.
@SpeckledyHen I would never have thought of one of those. Mum comes out to see me once a year so that would be good for her beautiful things. Love the margaret top but she got one almost identical from me at Christmas. Appreciate the 'no stuff' but I live on the other side of the world so won't get to enjoy them with her. + I've done that to death .......

What about a family photo book of beautiful pics of when you were a child, family, grandparents, special memories etc up to now.
