    Birthday present ideas for Mum!
    My Mum's birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to get her! She's in her mid 50s so it has to be age appropriate. Last year I made her a photo album full of pictures of her and I, so I don't want to do anything similar to that this year, but I still want it to be special. My budget is around £20. Any help appreciated! x

    It depends what her interests are... I'd suggest a nice, fancy bunch of flowers that includes her favourite kinds (if that's the sort of thing she likes of course). Can't go wrong with flowers :P

    I'm pretty poor at coming up with imaginative birthday present ideas.

    If there's some specific (cheap-ish) interest you're both interested in and might have fun doing together, then it might be nice to use the money to do that hobby...

    Take her out to lunch and buy her a (small) bouquet of flowers?
