All the mums (and everyone else) on here, what sorts of presents do you REALLY want to get? I feel like my present every year is either some sort of hand/foot/nail cream, moisturiser, chocolate, necklace or the like. What's the best present you've gotten without asking for it? What's a good fail-proof but not cliched present? Beauty related or not!
Uhh totally asking for a friend!

Mums: what presents do y'all like? [maybe NBR]

Ahh yes I was big on the photo frame/album thing when I was a kid, they were cheap and super easy to put together. Probably half the photoframes in the house are from me lol. I did gift a perfume last year but I don't think she liked it as it still looks pretty full. And my mum never drops hints on anything, so it was a mega gamble buying perfume.
i usually get my mum clothes, makeup, pretty flowering potplants and food/drink treats. Usually it's things she wouldn't buy herself but i think she'd like; for Xmas I got her a makeup storage unit that spins so that her things weren't scattered all over the place and were easy to see and access. I've also introduced her to beauty blenders, Sephora and any one of a number of other things.
She seems to like my choices :)

Oh and as for purchasing for my mum: beauty products can be a real hit and miss for her, because other than hand lotions she's not so worried about that kind of thing. Unless there's a special lipstick she wants, or a specific face cream she's seen. Books are always good, date gift card things for her and my dad are always appreciated.
As a Mum of 3, if someone were to get a present, it wouldn't be an actual physical present, it would be something that is done for me. Breakfast in bed or a nice hot coffee, dinner made for me or heck takeaways as long as I don't have to cook ha ha ha. Someone to draw me a bath and put Lush bath bombs in it. Then a nice massage, roaring fire and being surrounded by my family, playing games oh and of course chocolate ha ha ha. The perfect gift.
But if you are looking at physical gifts, then definitely a pamper package or a nice gift basket with all their favourite things - favourite chocolate, favourite lollies, favourite coffee, favourite chips etc. Maybe add in a homemade voucher book for IOU's in the future. IOU Massage, IOU Dishes done for the day, IOU Dinner cooked etc.
Sorry for the babble lol

Maybe you could do a Mum and Daughter day where you get to pamper her? Maybe take her out for breakfast/lunch/dinner and just spend some quality time with her. Then you can give her the voucher booklet as an IOU for when you see her next he he he x
I don't get to see my Mum that often either and we are in the same town ha ha ha, but we are planning to have a day together soon. We are going to go out for lunch and then go secondhand shopping as we both love to do that and pick up some wee bargains. Then I'm going to head out to her place, we're going to cook dinner together, maybe watch a movie and have a couple of drinks and just have a really good catch up. Can't wait lol.
Hope you find something lovely to give her or do with her x

I'd personally love socks or a voucher (in store or online) for bras and gruts. The latter is one thing I'm always saying "oh man I need more of these" but I never do anything about it. Other gifts I would enjoy is chocolate, scratchies and gardening supplies like dirt or seeds. Or again, a voucher so I can buy my own supplies! :-P
The best present I ever did get was my stand mixer, though. Oh lawdy I love it.
