Mrs B wanted a massage so she booked herself in for one and called it a mothers day present. No worries, happy to foot the bill for that. But still leaves us needing something to unwrap on the day, Any shame in giving her a new ryobi blower? She was adamantly against getting one in the first place but grew to use it almost more than i did by the end. And we deffo need another battery cause the 2 recovered isnt enough to mow/whippersnip the whole yard.
For context she is a practical person. I've been told if I buy flowers again shes divorcing me. She likes stuff she can use.
Can you get a voucher for another massage? I love practical as much as the next mum, but replacing stolen goods and calling it a gift is a stretch too far for me.
Massage is already done and paid for. I'm not gonna get her ANOTHER massage. Its gotta be something she can unwrap. And this seems a bit better than her idea of a new phone case.
If she suggested the phone case, that's what I'd go for. It's hers, not everyone's.
Idk maybe swanky spa-style bath products
Or a new robe
