    She is getting a whole stack of clear plastic shoeboxes to store her shoe collection in! A scarf, some handcream and a tea-towel with a picture that DD1 did on it.

    I made my MIL a bag, and am also giving her a bar of soap from Fresh Cut Soap Co. Might sound boring, but it's really nice soap!

    last year I bought my MIL a photo set, the boxes all stacked into each other...

    she has lots of photo's around her place... and I have never seen it up yet... hmmm

    This year I asked DH what we should get her, and suggested as a joke a mitre 10 gift voucher... which he jumped at and thought it was a great idea!

    10 mins later he says... what did we get her for her birthday and last christmas... and I said.... drumroll......

    "A MITRE 10 GIFT VOUCHER!"
