Gift/Keepsake for Mums

Sorry, I can't help with the Mum gift but I just put "Because You Loved Me" on iTunes and now I'm crying buckets. What a perfect song.

Also, I wish your Mum well and hope she gets well xx

Hi Jalepeno, it does exactly the same thing to me everytime. I knew I wanted to have a dance with my Dad, but I didn't know what song, until I heard the words ... Que the tears!

Thank you, she has put up such a good fight. Ive told my sister/head bridesmaid to let the song get to about half way, then to bring mum onto the floor to join us so we get a sort of family dance, as the words are relevant to all of us.

We were going to marry in 2013 but brought it forward to 2012 (2 weeks to go!), also because my Dad is suffering from prostate cancer too and I couldn't have walked down the aisle without him. The day is going to be so emotional! Just so glad my parents can be with me )

Not helpful to you, but we bought our mothers Tanzanite earrings when we were on Zanzibar (part of Tanzania). Tanzanite is rare and getting rarer since the mines are running empty, so it's both appropriate and an heirloom thing.

I have got my mum the mum journal from oh so cherished... you can fill all the pages in with your favourite memories etc, reasons why you love her...

I think its a lovely idea!

Does your mum like jewellery? How about a locket with a photo of the 2 of you, or a pandora style bracelet with a nice 'mum' charm on it?

Another vote for the Mum Journal from Oh so cherished.
