Get Well Soon/Mother's Day Hamper ideas please...

charlottecarter

My Mum is going to have an op on her knee a couple of days after mother's day and so i thought for mother's day i'd do her a hamper with stuff for her to use after she comes home as she will have to do a lot of sitting around. She is normally cycling/skiing/climbing/paragliding/partying... (she is the coolest grandma - all my kids friends are jealous!!) and so this will be tough on her!

I was thinking of putting in a couple of dvds, a couple of books, some bio-oil for the scar, homemade truffles, magazines, tv guide but would love some other ideas - i am on a bit of a budget so the more money saving the better! I was thinking of including some vitamins or hebal things that might help her make a speedy recovery but i don't really know what that would be - any help welcome!

Thank you!!

How about pampering stuff - manicure set, nice hand cream, candles, stuff for the shower/bath...

Do you live near by? Could you add a booklet of vouchers that your mum could redeem from you when she wants to such as: a manicure, tea and cakes, cook the dinner etc

As your mum will need to relax for a while how about making her a journal jar, some ideas here... http://organizedchristmas.com/adult-journal-jar I mention these all the time on this board but just because I think they are a great present but I realise not everyone would appreciate such a gift.

Hope everything goes smoothly and your mum is back on her feet very soon afterwards.

By the sounds of it she's quite active so she might not appreciate this but what about some puzzle books or interactive/hand held games to keep her distracted. They are quite useful when bored or when needed as a distraction.

Hope she gets well soon
