Question Sending Gifts for Mother's Day

Anyone got any inspiring gifts/good websites they're using to send Mother's Day gifts to the UK this year?

Boring but a change to flowers I was looking at Thorntons, also remembering how nice they were!

Nice thought but I know my Mum woulsn't thank me for flowers. I know Interflora do gifts but they're not the best.

I got my MIL a Pandora bracelet for her birthday last year. I just keep topping it up with charms. They are still quite new over there so she likes the fact nobody else in her area has one yet. Light to post too.

Did the same, great minds think alike! I managed to squeeze one of the charms in the birthday card and only cost $1.10 for postage.

Carole, I had a look at the website for those, they are beautiful. Are they available from high street stores?

In the UK the jewellers that stock them are few and far between. On the UK website they used to have a stockist list but now you have to fill in a form and they contact you with a list of stockists. Here in Oz you can get them in most places, I got mine from Raymond May.

I've been looking online also. I'm looking at UK sites as I still have a UK bank account and time is running out. I'm going to look at Marks and Spencers, Debenhams.......... I've lost touch with the best UK sites to use.

Thanks for that, I'm going to look into getting her one for her 60th bday in August, but too late for Mother's Day.
