Hi adam -
Get her a pamper token at the local beauty salon xxx

you can never go wrong with a 'florists' bunch if flowers and a bottle of sparkling wine, or in this recession, an offer to contribute to the electricity bill.

What does she like Adam? What are her interests? What kind of lady is she? xxx

[adamhornsby]

thats a tricky one.
she likes clothes, but finds most of hers in charity shops, so that will be difficult, and as i said, shes difficult. She quite likes jewelry, but i only have a small bank balance lol. she's seen a dress in asda she likes, but sounds a bit cheap..
she also likes here opi nail polish too, shes got more than the damn shop!

She sounds a lovely down to earth lady! Beauty salons do manicures & nails ect.. What about taking her out for a meal, need not be expensive. Or get her that dress she likes! xxx

[adamhornsby]

Yeh the beauty salon or spa idea sounds good, to be honest, i hadnt even thought of those and a meal of course, in her new dress!
good thinking batman.....

getting her the dress will show her that u listen to her and take notice of what she says = worth more than any dress!

LOL Adam... you sweetie ! What a nice thoughtful guy you are! If I had a son like you, I'd really appreciate him cooking me a special meal (and doing the washing up). Put a post over on food & drink and we can help you with some recipes... just mention what your mum likes and doesn't like to eat, plus an indication of your cooking ability. It could be that you bake her a batch of her favourite biscuits (cookies) and wrap them up in pretty paper, then serve them up with a proper pot of tea or coffee !
