My old mum turns 70 next week, and she's not keen on the idea. I haven't got a clue what to buy her. Give us a hand will you..? I've got about £100 to spend...
I was thinking of clothes, but that's what I seem to buy her every year. Oh, and my sister's a florist, so flowers, pot pourri and most small decorative stuff is out, cos she's got it all. Don't suppose she'd be too keen on kitchenware either...
After her trackday shes going to be hungry so take her out to eat and get a cake sorted out. Rack of ribs at tgi's always goes down well.
Tickets for a show? I dare say you'd earn a lot of brownie points if you treated her to tickets to something that you wouldn't normally go to, and endured it with her.
Thurs 28th Feb 2013 London Gatwick to Rome Fiumicino £97.99 one way out at 16.50hrs arrives at 20.20.
Not a very glamorous prezzie though, is it? I've been scouring the internets, and it's looking like jewellery or a decent watch. I can't think of anything else.
Oh I think if we can buy some slapper a £500k house for herself and her 11 kids, the British consul in Rome can put up an OAP for a few days and then repatriate her to her loving son who is concerned that his mum has disappeared?
