Something unusual & quirky for the person who has everything???

[scrappydappydoo]

Ok its not a christmas present but there seems to be lots of good ideas so I thought post here...
My mother is impossible to buy for - if she wants it she buys it even two weeks before her birthday. She's a young 60's likes unusual but cool things. Last year I got her a graze box subscription which she loved.., bags scarves have been done to death. She travels a lot - mostly cruises and has a huge house very tastefully decorated with twiggy stuff.
I'm now desperate for ideas - approx £20 -£30 budget.
I'll give you

Name a star? Maybe if she has everything how about sponsoring an endangered animal etc...?

Tickets for something, or a day out somewhere?

I have previously made a little certificate for my mum promising a day out to our nearest RHS garden (with me) and afternoon tea. We had a lovely day- had a chance to talk and catch up properly.

Not an animal lover, member of everything already rhs,eh, nt, art galleries, museums etc etc
She is so difficult to buy for but so lovely and I really want to get her something nice.

I came across something good recently. It was a spice subscription. A box comes through your door once a month with recipe cards and all the spices you need to cook exotic themed meals. I can't remember the company now but probably easy to google it. I think it's perfect!

What about a rosebush, olive tree, lemon tree or similar?

Wiifitmama is it the spicery

Sponsor a dog/ donkey/ tree.

Buy a goat or well for a family in Africa.

Glossy Box subscription if she's into cosmetics.

The cutlery commission recycles old cutlery, v nice stuff. Based in cheltenham or the cotswolds, IlRC. Can personalise things like cake knives. Perf for twiggy stuffers iyswim.

Does she like crafts? A day course somewhere?

Thanks for suggestions - will investigate all. In the mean time I've found rather funky russian doll measuring cups which will do as a token gift whilst I ponder something bigger.
It's hard to buy something for someone who has taste when you don't...
