The scene ... mother is on a cruise. ( no heavy stuff)
I am skint ( no expensive stuff plus she can buy her own)

I have a miniture boules set (she loves games) and a box with cards /dominoes etc
I have bought for her decent Brandy rather than the crap she requested,

Joy that would have been a fantastic idea, and one she has told me she wants, as from recently ! No can do on her tree I got her and bruv back and will take a break at that sigh. By the way her cruise docks in on Monday 30th so I don't have that long.

As she's on a cruise she may be having some 'posh' dances or meals, how about a (silk?) flower 'corsage' to go on her dress?
