Honestly, a good robe or snuggie. They're the fkn bomb. Mixed with a mint pair of slippers and a few old DVD's

a foot spa, massage chair, diy(as you do it for her) pedi/medi

OP here. Mum is in her mid-70's, us kids are all around the 40 mark. To the person the listed ideas, thank you, but none of that will work - don't mean that in a rude way, just that there is a reason for each, ie, not a gardener, doesn't drink, has dressing gown, perfume, book & kindle, pj's, just bought a new handbag, etc

I ordered my mum a desserts box full of sweets (she loves sweets) which will be delivered to her next week. Best i could do with all the restrictions in place

My mum has since passed away but my MIL is the next best thing. She's mid 70s and we got her a beautiful vase that she pointed out that she liked (I snuck back and bought it when she wasn't around) and a heated throw. Basically we got her something she really likes and something practical

Are these ideas stuff you want? What would you want as a gift?

A digital photo frame for her favorite photos
A nice painting / atrwork for the wall
A fancy vase and a bunch of flowers
A new good quality pillow- she might already have a pillow but pillows need replacing once in a while
A good quality woolen or cashmere scarf
A fancy candle
A locket with a photo of you and her in it
Nice mug with her favorite tea / coffee and homemade biscuits

A personalised pen? A souvenir keyring of somewhere you've been together? A garden bench or tree planted in her honour at a local park? A cd of all her favourite music from the past?

A takeaway mothers day roast dinner? We did this recently with one of our favourite pubs and it was amazing. We didn't have to do a thing and it was deliscious

Plant in a nice pot, dressing gown, slippers, perfume, book from her fav author, cook book, chocolates, flowers, pj's, handbag, earrings, fire pit, garden chair, get a platter or cupcakes delivered to her house, blanket, fruit tree, pot full of herbs, alcohol.
