Secret Santa ideas please?

mrsmasterplan

My Secret santa is for a 50 year old woman, a lovely woman. She has two sons that live away (which she hates and misses them and lives at home with her husband,

Shes very laid back but loves to flaunt all of her expensive items.

(Last year she got a dvd of Keeping up Appearances - very apt!)

Id love to get something/make something very suitable!
Any ideas?!

Yeah I'd go for something housey, something that's useful even if it's not necessarily something you want, you can still use it kind of thing.

I've got the only male in the staff, age 30, fitness mad. Haven't got a clue what to get, everything I look I imagine he's already got!

not sure if shed like yankee - i know she buys a lot of white compants candles - ten times the price! Was thinking maybe something i could make/something lighthearted?

If you have the shop past times near you they have gorgeous book marks in silver with a pendant (if you see what i mean!) What about that cost of £3 as they are half price, A posh mug from Poundland or home bargains, maybe with a logo or phrase on it, Posh hot choc sachet, and then a plastic silver spoon, get a nice book from poundland, perhaps related to fashion, jokes, posh things!! Wrap it all up in cellophane with a massive bow!
Posh night in for one!
