It's my mother's 50th birthday soon. We were going to get a gift voucher for a restaurant, but saw it was a lot of money for something that will be enjoyed, but nothing to keep or nothing different. Does anyone have any ideas about what we could do/get? Thinking around £30 possibly? We usually spend £10 for birthdays. Help!!!
