Inspiration needs for mothers day!

Hello everyone,

I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions; I'm making 2 felt bags for my nan and mum and want to fill them with nice goodies so far I've got;
1. PinkCandles with Candle Holder
2. Various cones of sweets thanks to Soblivions instructions
3. Ceramic Pot and seeds

And that's it, any ideas?
Thank you!

    All sounds fab :T

    How about a quote book - sort of mini scrapbook but with quotes about being a mum/nan etc? I'm a bit quote book mad at the moment so please feel free to ignore me if I'm boring you by mentioning this to everyone who asks for an idea :rolleyes:. I have quotes for mums if you would like a copy please send me a PM with your email address ;)

    How about prininting off the Free Origins Face Scrub voucher off the Marie Claire magazine website and getting that to add in?

    I know its meant to be 1 per customer but if you could a friend to get one as well maybe? or if you buy the mag (£3.30) you get a free Neals Yard moisturiser, so one could have that, and the other the face scrub?
