Gifts for mums

Where are you getting married? How about a voucher for somewhere nice in the place you're getting married.

I'm also getting married abroad (in Sydney) and, so far, have got personalised hankies for my parents and will probably get them a voucher to see something in the Sydney Opera House or perhaps a voucher for a nice meal.

I might also get one of the journals from Oh So Cherished to give my parents when we get home.

We're getting married in Vegas and I thought about vouchers for a show but it was quickly shot down by FH... knowing our mums they will want keep sakes which is fair enough. The Oh So Cherished books are lovely but i'm just not like that with my mum at all.

I got my mum & MIL a personalized yankee candle set in a funky box they can always keep. - Might be heavy to carry abroad though.

We're getting married at home but there'll be so many flowers floating around afterwards from the venue that it just seemed a waste. I think we're going to buy vouchers for a spa near where each mum lives so they can have a massage or facial on us. That should work for a woman who has everything although it isn't a keepsake as such.

Oooooh!! This sounds perfect for my MIL....please can you tell me where to get these from? How much etc?

Thanks!!

I've just bought my mum an earring and necklace set. It's similar to one she had a long time ago, but it broke and she'd been really gutted about it, so we thought we'd get her that because she's notoriously hard to buy for, and she's been feeling quite smug that we can't think of anything to get her (oh how wrong she was)

I think buying for parent's is really difficult. I'm at a complete loss for my dad.

I thought about flowers as a gift to go with something else, but then my parents have booked a holiday four days after our wedding so she won't get much out of having flowers then going away.

We are getting my parents a combined gift which is a weekend and dinner away in a hotel of their choice using 'Buy A Gift' website.

For my MIL we are buying her a spa day away with her daughter (my soon to be SIL and bridesmaid).

We have ordered some posh photo frames engraved with the wedding date & we will print off something to put in the frame basically saying that we will get them a nice pic from the wedding to go into the frame after the wedding.

I've just got all my female wedding party gifts from Past Times online. fab offers and something for everyone.

HTH,

Sally (soon to be Mrs Smith)
