What can i get my mum for xmas?

[Emma1980]

She's so awkward to buy for!!!

Cant be perfume or jewellry - she doesnt do getting her nails or hair done, doesnt drink, dpesnt like smelly stuffs... i'm at a loss and i do not want to buy her a bloody voucher!

Oh and the family have a set rule of £20-£30!

help plssssssssss!

I'm in the same situation! £20 to spend and no idea what to buy - she doesn't like pampering, vouchers, clothes or ornaments.

Interested to hear your responses!

Hmmmm - what about a nice photo frame for her first pic of your baby? Does she like any music you could buy? Is she a foody - you could get a hamper of foody goodies, flavoured oils, wines, cheeses etc maybe?

Your mum sounds exactly like mine!

So far I have bought her the Jo Brand book x

Nothings jumping out, ... i need something.... completely different i think...

I would send her something Grandson related, but he aint comin til after xmas so will prolly use that one for birthday!

Shes on a permanent diet so foods never good, must have a billion pairs of slippers as thats what my brothers always buy - she is so untechnical its scary... gah!

maybe i should just ask her if theres anything she wants lol

How about a new purse or a scarf and gloves set, a nice bottle of wine/spirits, a cardi/jumper/jacket, a nice Jigsaw, handbag and brolly set, ladies car care set, dressing gown, a funky suitcase for holidays, earrings..... I can't think any more lol

Maybe a really nice bunch of fresh flowers in a pretty vase?

I usually just ask my mum what she wants - although I usually get the response "I don't know" (but I say the same back to her so can't complain).

Is there a book/cd/dvd she would like?

It was my mum's birthday a few weeks ago and I got her a dressing gown (cos I know it's something she'd never go buy for herself, she'd just make do) a scented candle and a "modern granny guide" book from the baby - luckily she saw the funny side
