Thanks very much for all your replies. Some great suggestions and I'm glad that I asked. :T I don't think I'd make it past Christmas if I took up Ben500's suggestion though.:eek:

This maybe a stupid question but have you considered asking her if she's struggling to find a present for you as much as you are for her? If that is the case, then you could perhaps agree to buy nothing for each other.

I'm only offering this up as a suggestion because it works perfectly for me and DH - no presents, no hassle. We've been married for 15 years and we gave up on the present idea about 10 years ago (and expanded it to other family members). Christmas is now completely stress free.

How about a gift box from www.rubyredcosmetics.co.uk all the products are hand made so they are extra special. The website is reliable too. They aren't that much so you might be able to get her somthing else to go with it.

i'd second the handbag hire idea... genius and if my boyfriend bought that for me i would be a very happy girl

How about a digital photo frame with her fave family photos on. I am hoping my dh has got me one of these this year all loaded up ready with our family photos on. there are lots about in the sales.

DH did one of these for me a few years ago, he got the boys holding up seperate cards spelling out 'Happy Mothers Day', alternating between the two boys, so that each card was a new photo (hope that makes sense) ... can honestly say it is the loveliest present i have ever ever had in my life

How about a new kettle one of the really fast boil ones so that she doesn't have to miss too much tv when making your brew?

My hubby can buy me Liz Earle stuff any time he likes. Its natural, chemical free. and smells heavenly. Its also beautifully packaged. it wins beauty awards year after year. Once you start using her range you will be addicted. In havent used anything else for 6 years now.

Some home made vouchers for " a lie in and breakfast in bed" etc or whatever she really needs, "I'll cook dinner everynight for a wek" etc etc.
I would like the pamper spa treatment - pedicures are especially lush. If you cant run to a big name establishment - find a local threapist and ask them to put together various treatments and then barter on the price.
Or along the lines of the photo album - a memory book - remember when you ...... and then what ever funny, romantic, embarassing memmories you share and if you have photos all the better.

Ok then how about a meal for two to save her one days cooking.
