She's asked for a handful of things so I've been trying to pick them up as I go along the past 2 months...

The main present (well, it's nothing substantial, but I think it'll mean the most to her), is she wanted something made with lots of photos of us, her kids, grandkids, cats, etc., so I was going to get a calendar made for her... I would do a big canvas but it'd require photo editing and I think that sometimes ends up looking tacky/weird so I'd rather just use photos that exist and many of them...

And then:
- Some moisturiser/foundation thing she's run out of
- Mrs Browns Boys D'Movie
- Olay Regenerist stuff
- and maybe a pair of slippers too (haven't seen a pair she'd like yet, think she wants sort-of-Ugg ones)

I've grown to tolerate the TV show, and had to download the movie for her when it came out it's not as bad as Miranda, but not something I'd choose to watch

My mother died years ago, but I still send a little present in the form of a cheque to the Sally Army in her memory every Christmas.

A beautiful gesture Smudgie. I do something similar too as my Mother passed away years ago (and my Father) but I donate to two other Charities which both my parents favoured.

Yes, It helps me on some level knowing I am doing something for them at Christmas.
Yorkshire air ambulance gets the cheque for my dad at Christmas and the Poppy appeal/ British legion are our year round charity.
We don't have any parents or in-laws now so not many presents to buy
