following on from my thread about what i am getting for my mum- thinking about it, i am just as difficult to buy for ( so my children say!!) when they ask me what i want i usually ask for my usual 'smellies' cos i dont want them wasting their money on me!!

this year i am going to think long and hard about what i really really would like off them and i am going to tell them... then they will be happy and i will be happy. now what do i want.........................;)

Hi

Thanks for starting this thread as my mum cn be tricky to buy for too!

Was going to do a book lovers hamper (as suggested on a thread here) BUT WILL SAVE THAT FOR HER BIRTHDAY MAYBE! whoops sorry didn't mean to do caps there! i have done her a 12 days of Christmas box (got idea from organisedchristmas.com) but again there is a thread on here somewhere. I have already given it to her as not seeing her until Christmas now and wanted her to start it on December 13th.

I am now going to do her a holiday hamper! SOunds a bit mad but we are off to Florida (courtesy of half price plane flights via MSE of course!). So my son has designed a bag and inside we will put t shirts, shorts, suncream, a book etc etc at least these are my ideas so far but prob not very helpful for you!!

Good luck and thanks everyone for lots of good ideas!

Re Holiday bag, thats a brilliant idea, esp now as a lot of shops have got sales on and there selling off summer tshirts happy holidays

Thanks sammy_kaye18

I thought it was a brilliant idea, so thanks again, cos I would have been so stuck otherwise - all I had was socks for him but he will be really thrilled with something like that.

we have a 'bookman' who drops books and gifts into the office and then comes and delivers the orders a couple of weeks later. i think he's from the book people or laughing seagull. anyway, he's left a gorgeuos tan suede bound photo album with 'the grandchildren' on it in gold. its only a £5 so ive ordered it and am now busy getting pix together of all my mums 9 grandkids and 1 (up to now)great grandchild. my mum is really hard to buy for , she always does the 'you should spend your money on me' routine and she must have oil of olay and body shop white musk coming out of her ears now!!
