Next week my mother in law is 80 (oh I know I'm not old enough to have a mother in law that old - I wish)

Anyway she is one of these people who has everything and wants nothing. So what on earth do we buy her for her birthday. She doesnt want a fuss so a party is out, as is a trip away.

A large drink in Boris's for anyone who can come up with a suggestion. My brain hurts thinking about it.

How about a gift voucher or a book token.

How about an ornament of some sort?

Or a nice bouquet of flowers?

Or does she have a favourite perfume that needs replenishing?

Depending on the general health etc, how about a hot air balloon ride?

Uglr I am so bad at presents. I have the same problem with my dad next week, any ideas??

My sister for my mums birthday bought a really nice frame and put a picture of the three of us in it. I dont know if you have any children that you can put a picture of them in a frame for her. I know that sounds a bit self centred but my mum loved it, but I dont know if your mother in law is that kind of person.

following on that theme how about a family portrait??
photos always work for my mother in law as long as I'm not in them
