Right, this christmas we (husbands side of the family) decided to do secret Santa and ice just picked my mile name. I'm not allowed to tell anyone in the family who I got so can't ask my dh for ideas:
I haven't got a clue what to buy her and we got a set £30 to use. Any ideas?

 

[Harveysmum369]

How much do you like your MIL? xx

 

[anna_t]

haha, I must say she is nice and most of the time I like her but sometimes she is annoying. Lol but yeah I like her.

 

[MissGx]

Perfume? Gift set from Lush?

 

[Harveysmum369]

How about a voucher for a spa day?don't know if £30 would cover it though..

 

[anna_t]

I've just been looking through the hamper thread and I quite like that idea!
Keep the ideas cominh please

 

[Tegans Mama]

It would be a gift set from LUSH for me

 

[anna_t]

might have to look on to lush, heard so much about it.

Only go with LUSH if you know she likes it, some people find the smell can be too overpowering.

Why not a pamper hamper - wine, chocolates, bath stuff etc.

 

[bathbabe]

Id go with perfume or a lush gift set. I love lush!

hmmmm... £30 is a gooood set price, i'd go spend it all in Boots, they have their 3 for 2 offer so you can get alot more for your money and use the bits to make a hamper!??!?
like make-up bits and showergel.
and then you can get a few more bits to make up the price from a pound shop... nail files, hair turban, moisturising gloves, manicure set etc.
then you just need to buy a nice box and transparant paper to wrap in in before wrapping it in traditional paper. xxxxx

my mum does two every year, one for me and one for my MIL. they look lovely i must admit i love a good hamper to pamper myself.
being a mother of 2 with one on the way i don't get much ME time, so bathtime is MY time.

to go in your hamper

in boots davidoff cool water wave its half price so 10.27 and their is a £5 perfume voucher in boots atm so you could get a bottle of perfume for 5.27

Thanks everyone for your help. I'm a little bit wiser now and think I got it all.
I'm planning on making her a hamper. Things ive decided to buy to go in the hamper is:
Facemasks, lotions (face, hands, body), A couple of different bubble baths, impulse body spray (I know she likes these and found them cheap in sainsburys) slippers from primark and chocolate.
Will I be able to get all this for £30 also need to get a cheap basket. Am I missing something. What do you all think?

 

[Reid]

its just over £30 but i think these are stunning im going to get 1 for myself lol xx

Thanks, they are really nice!! But she isn't allowed to know who it is from and also it would be more of a present from Alex to her and not me. + we gave her something similar from Alex last Christmas but not as fancy looking

if you live near ikea, they do lovely wicker baskets, you could get one of those to put the bits in xxxxx
