Year of presents for mum

I had a year of presents (one a month) for my 50th from my H.

Included outings (theatre, river trios etc.), physical gifts like jewellery, prints, chocolates.

How about a cookery course, a photobook of her year (last pressy of course) a handbag (who doesn't love those?) something for the house or garden...

Brilliant idea.

How about a trip for 2 to one of those nice cinemas where you get food and drink and sit on sofas?

A walking tour of somewhere?

Afternoon tea?

Theatre?

Cocktail making class?

Thanks, some super ideas there guys. She's a professional baker - so things like cupcake classes are out!! Cinema, Theatre etc. all great ideas - will look to see what's coming up.

Also things for house and garden are a good shout. She's been wanting her bedroom decorated for years and never got round to it so I could get her a voucher for B&Q and MF's services. We did her lounge as a surprise when she was on holiday (big risk but she loves it) and she admits she'd never have got round to it if I hand't taken things into my own hands!

I was thinking it would be easier if it was things to do rather than actual things - but how were yours presented AC, did you get one given each month by your OH rather than receive 12 gifts/envelopes on your birthday?

Ah this is a lovely idea. It's my mum's birthday next week but i've probably left it too late to do something like this. I might start planning things for her Christmas present though!

I got one present a month, usually on the first of the month (but sometimes they were late grrr...)

My H said it was because he couldn't afford a big pressy, but I liked the excitement something to look forward to.

I did like a combination of activities and physical presents though. Don't make your mum do something every month - sometimes, something to hold is very good!!

What a great idea!

Agree theater or music performance or cinema is a good idea.

what about pottery painting or chocolate making or something similar!

A day out to a national trust house?

I've never heard of a year of presents before. I think that it's a great idea and I would love it if someone did this for me! My birthday is just after the new year so all my present fun is over and done with in a few days - I love the idea of stretching it out a bit longer!

I've never heard of a year of presents but it sounds like a fantastic idea and there's some really lovely options there too

Glasgow GoodFood is October

This is such a nice idea!!!!

This is such a good idea, I'm doing something very similar for my husband for Christmas.

How about a hamper basket of either treats or gardening bits and pieces she will enjoy using/eating etc?

Is she sentimental at all? Would she like a lovely picture of you both (or have some taken?)?
