    If you doing a box of 60 items they dont have to be dear, its cheaper to do a ladies box then a gents,
    look for end of sale lines, eg after mothers day go to card shops and u can pick up little nick nacks / oranments for 50p +
    keyring with 60 on it
    little note book
    mini bottles of items - toilettries
    sponge, etc
    add a few ious - eg take you out for sunday lunch (you havent got to find the money straight away)

    Good luck with the 60 boxes xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Pedicure voucher? A massage voucher? but then you don't want lots of vouchers do you?
    Look out for a really fancy shower cap - A ramar sponge. Nice hankies if she uses them rather than tissues? These are inexpensive, light to carry & useful things that you don't buy for yourself.
    A magazine subscription?

    Wow - I've got some great ideas now! thanks everyone. I've got the digital photo frame (I managed to find a really good Philips one with £30 off)
    Thats cleaned me out for a little while so Im going to wait until after Mother's Day as mum2one suggests and see what I can pick up then. But Im definitely going to look into some of the suggestions.
    Thanks again everyone!

    How about a "I promise to..." voucher for throughout the year.....as she will be 60 for the whole year !! Then it would be a really memorable year for her...
