Mothers Day ???????

Any suggestions for what to buy for my MIL for Mothers Day??

Bear in mind that she really is the woman who has everything and this is hopefully our last Mothers Day in the UK (please God!!).

She's in her 60's but quite a modern 60

When is Mother's Day in the UK? My Mum has flowers from my brother in March (whenever it is) and from me in May, when they do it in the US.

Point of reference...............60 is still very young and provided one has an active sex life.....................even younger!


On a slightly separate note, now at post 900 what a complete and utter waste of time.............surely I have more better things to do than contribute to this very shallow website?

Red face Re: What to buy for......

If she likes gardening how about some seeds, or an already planted pot.

You could try the Boots Sanctuary skincare gift bag rrp £12 http://www.boots.com/shop/product_de...tionid=1040519

also if you buy another sanctuary product at the same time you should be able to get a free weekend bag (see below) worth £10 for free (could always give that to her as well or give it to her for her birthday)

Do you work for Boots by any chance??? We actually bought some Sanctuary stuff for her a couple of years ago, & it's not been opened !!
