Gift ideas for 60th birthday for mother in law?

If she has other children/ grandchildren see if you can get them all together for a photo shoot. I loved getting a photo of my 4 kids and 4 GC all together. A low key family party - all get together and take her out somewhere special.

When I was 60 someone bought me a year's subscription to a magazine which I loved. Also a voucher for afternoon tea is lovely or theatre ticket vouchers.

What a stunning range of products Gagagran. I will definitely think about buying something for a special occasion.

Would this appeal - something different? I think it looks gorgeous and would much prefer something like this to a spa day or tea for two because we can do those things anyway. Not special!

Tea for two somewhere accessible to her

Voucher for massage etc

A day out

A meal out with family

Mine bought me a framed wooden family tree which can be added to if nescessary

I like Harrigran's idea of the photo.

I love owls and one of my daughters bought me an owl experience. I handled the owls and had a big glove on (with food) so that they flew onto my hand. Is there anything that she likes like that?

Another time, my daughters took me to the theatre and then out for a meal.

Does she read much, if so how about an e-reader.

Jewellery is so personal in choice- unless you go and choose it with her.

Another idea is to ask her which room she would like re-decorated- and either do it for her or pay someone to do it.

Thanks. These are all great ideas. She's not the biggest fan of roses but I'll see if there are other plants that do something similar. I love the sound of the Jo Malone experience too. Might have to drop a hint to my own husband about that!

You can have an artist to draw the house . We did this for my sil .

Spa day is a lovely idea for a lot of people and you would know if it's her 'thing' but I wouldn't be happy showing off my wobbly bits
Maybe a night away or theatre tickets.
A nice piece of jewellery.

I'll go with rockgran's idea- day at spa for 2.

Jo Malone shops do a lovely experience where you have a hand massage whilst drinking champagne and choosing a perfume. You could have a bespoke perfume made at Pehaligons or Floris I believe.

Just looked and there a few of them. Think I used country garden roses but can't remember for sure.

A photo of the family, enlarged and framed or photo put on to canvas. I was given this for my 65th and it has pride of place in the lounge. An ipad would keep her in touch with friends.

There is a site where you can have a rose named after someone and have it delivered to them. Struggling to think what it's called now but you could google. If she loves pottering in the garden, she may like to put her named rose in and it will remind her of how thoughtful you were on her 60th when she looks at it.

My son bought me a day at a spa for two so that I could take a friend. I loved it.
