    Well I am well and truely stumpted for ideas. My mum is the best in the world which makes it harder. When I asked her for ideas she said oh don't get me anything it is your day now you are the mum x x xhow can i beat that? My sis took her to the garden center and got her to choose something she'd like and low and behold she chose what i wanted to get her (swirly things that hang in the garden) so back to square 1.

    MIL said she liked my hand bag from olli and nic so when their sale was on in jan i got her a bag from there. Last week she bought herself a new hand bag similar to the one i got her grrrrrrrrrr. OH said never mind to give it to my mum - prob is i showed it to my mum to see if she thought MIL would like it and to show off that i got 75% off grrrrrrr. Well MIL will have to have the bag and I'll put some hotel chocolat chocs in it off DS.

    So any ideas for my mum please

    I usually buy my mum plants for the garden as she loves gardening and is very much an outdoor person. A few years ago, I bought her a Camellia and it's really grown and looks beautiful. She loves it and planted it where she could see it from her patio door.

    Sorry, Im rubbish at this sort of thing as I always go for the gardening theme! Keeps mum happy so in that respect she is easy but I spend many an afternoon in the garden centre trying to find something she hasn't got!

    Im having great difficulty this year.
    It was her birthday not too long ago and I got he a chocolate champagne bottle from thorntons, and a big mum cup lol.
    I have no idea what to get her! She doesnt like flowers, is on a diet, doesnt like gardening, has enough pictures in the house, doesnt really need anything as far as I know.. maybe get her a bike seat? She got a bike lol :rotfl:and the seat is awful to sit on long!
