Default Birthday Present ideas - for a mother

Hi Guys,

I've been a bit distracted with other stuff and it's my mother's b'day in 2 days.

I haven't yet got her anything and I can't think of anything original to get her.

So, give me some ideas!

As I live nowhere near her, it'll have to be something online (i.e. Amazon). And not flowers or chocoloates or wine - as I normally buy those for mother's day!

So please help!

She's gonig to be 62 (I can say that on here as she'll never look!) and she's quite active - i.e. hobbies such as skiing & golf, and she's popping over to India for a holiday soon.

Thanks!

Is that the one where she spends all the time shouting at the screen, normally during the middle of a really good action movie?

She's got one.

Great idea - wish I had more time to do that...next year though!


In the end I've gone with a travel guide to india, a crime thriller for the flight & some golf balls for the rest of her summer holiday....not v.original but all available on amazon!

Dammit. Too late. I was going to suggest some suggestive underwear, but you've got a present now so i'll keep that thought to myself.
