Hi all i desperatly need some help with my mums birthday.
she is 46 this friday im usually great with getting her something but stuck this year.
my grandad(her dad) is in hospic dying they have been there 24/7 for the past week or so as its going to be "any day now" i cant plan anything for her as just dont know whats going to be happening when etc.
i just need ideas if anyone has any. i would maybe like to do a hamper of some sort but no idea what to put in it apart from a couple of bottles of rose...
Please help! x

laura - so sorry to hear about your grandad
Depending on what your budget is amazon have some nice 'mini hampers' (I'm about to order a chocolate one for MIL -she's 90 and I always get stuck)
You could do your own and fill it with her favourite choccies plus couple bottles of wine.
The other year I did an ''elevenses/afternoon tea box'' -shoe box I'd covered full of tea, little preserves, biscuits, crossword books and pen, coaster I'd done in cross stitch of a tea-cup and nice china mug.
Or you could do a ''pamper basket'' full of beauty stuff, face mask, bath things, candles, plus the wine
Just an idea -hth:)I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
