Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Anyone got any ideas for a present I could get my mum? I was thinking one a of those slankets, but I don't know. It's her birthday on friday. :crazyeyes:

    what's your budget? what sort of things does your mum like?

    would she appreciate a slanket? i know mine would laugh but each person is different.

    you need to give us more info. i could tell you what *my* mum would like but i couldn't tell you what yours would like :p

    lol sorry

    i'd say under £50

    she's into running but dad got her a treadmil, reading but she can read a book in a day, she doesnt really have time to watch DvD's. She likes her gardening, she's amazing at drawing but she doesn't really draw or paint anymore.

    She is so hard to buy for and it's her 40th so it has to be good.

    I thought about fitness stuff for the wii but she has the wii fit and we have a gym so kinda pointless...

    I got her perfume last year so thats out

    haha, yeah i have no idea how she would react to a slanket.

    Does she have any drawings that are hidden away in a cupboard/loft that you could dig out and get nicely mounted/framed for her?

    If she likes gardening then how about some really nice plants?

    Yeah, something like that.

    Or, because it is a special birthday, what about a nice piece of jewellery? Or theatre tickets? Or taking her out for a nice meal?

    If you are going to do that, at least have the decency to get her the real thing, the snuggie :p

    I really like the picture idea. I hope you can find one, I'm sure she would appreciate it so much!

    Aww that sounds like a great pressi for your Mum, I'm sure she will be made up with whatever you get her.
    I got my Mum a mp3 player with all her fav songs on and she loved it.
    Maybe suggest a nice girly day shopping with her?
    Does you Mum like baths? I tend to get bath bombs for my Mum which she really likes.
