Page 1 of Mothers and Christmas

You may notice a theme with my posts :P

I pretty much have ideas for all in my family for presents except my mum - to be honest I struggle most years with ideas for her. My old man has tons of hobbies and whims but the old dear only real hobby is looking after the old man...

She`s 55 and likes family stuff and seeing friends.

Any ideas? £30-40 is ideal spend for her...

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i`m dying are the best i`ve ever had.

my mum requests `spa treatments`

I dont have a f***ing clue what that means.

Has she got a digital photo frame? I`ve helped several people pre-load them with loads of old family photos so all the reciprient has to do on Xmas day is open the box and plug it in.

Can`t go wrong.

I gave up on Christmas a few years ago,I stopped being a Argos bitch and just put money in a envelope with a card,let people buy what they want when they want. :)

Whoot - problem is my mum`s local Spar changed to a One Stop last year - so no joy there... ;)

Did her a printed photo-album last year and digital frame a couple of years before that...all photo`ed out.

I`m still thinking.

You lucky bugger just struggling with your Mums present. Every year I have the same problem for both parents at Xmas & birthday time. Both don`t do much, don`t drink, don`t smoke it`s a nightmare!!
Birthdays now I take them out for a meal - I get fed! thinking this year doing the National Trust membership for them.

May sound naff but my mother loved it few years ago. Got her a nice vase and then had flowers delivered few days later.

Sorted that Christmas and the next b`day ;)

How about a magazine subscription? If it was something like a cooking one could get her a few new utensils to use aswell.

Does she clothes shop? Could do a personal shopper session - think JL and Debenhams do them.

Could take her out for the day in a `mystery trip` kinda thing. Just give her some clues and a train ticket/map as to where you are going

BBC special edition Pride and Prejudice if she hasn`t got it.

I mean....who can resist Colin Firth in wet breeches :o

My mums getting,
The new Michael Boob-lay album/DVD
Bottle of Baileys
Nice shortbread
Planet earth boxset
4 CD + DVD boxset of Christmas songs (She will actually love this)

Problem is, it`s her birthday 2 weeks before Christmas so may have to split a little. :/
