What are you getting your Mum for Christmas?

Usually it's my dad that's hard to buy for, but it seems to be the other way round this year :hide:

buying her a trip to Spain with her friend in Feburary. a small thank you for everything she done for us.
I've paid for 2 nights in a hotel for her, but that doesn't really count, as it's a necessity so she can spend Christmas with us.

Other than that, slippers, but I need to get something else too.

A carved wooden bowl with Norse/Scandinavian Iron Age designs and an Advent calendar of William Morris themed soaps. She’s a retired museum curator.
Nothing. I don't even know when I have seen her the last time. Family is a big issue for me.

A bunch of letterbox flowers from Bloom & Wild. They have female names for the different designs of bouquet and one has her name! 💐 💖

Your guess is as good as mine! Currently have zero clue what she'll be getting :getmecoat:

She'll def get something, it's just a matter of what... :iiam:
If it helps at all, mums are still just people, if that makes sense.

As a mum, my tastes haven't changed particularly from before I became a mum.
I still like playing The Sims, reading books, wearing perfume, receiving flowers, eating chocolates, wearing jewellery, watching films, listening to music, etc...

Update to this:

I bought her some heated mittens for arthritis, and a dvd of the mini series Jesus of Nazareth.
