I'm a fool - forgot my mums birthday

[Scuzi]

Things have been busy at work recently and on returning home every day I've been switching off completely and going into zombie mode. As a result I just realised my mums birthday was on the 19th. I've been speaking to her on the phone and didn't even wish her a happy birthday.

I feel awful and want to make up for it. I was going to call today and apologise but thought it best to surprise her instead. Can anyone recommend anything I can order off the internet with a max price of say £50? I got her flowers for mothers day so I'd like to get something different this time.

Any idea what I could get? I suck at picking presents

Surprise visit home? Know she would love that. Just turn up and surprise her?

I already have a trip home booked for the 20th and can't get any time off work before then. Good idea though, if all else fails I'll pull a sickie and fly home for a day!

Vouchers sounds like a good idea, especially for something like a spa weekend. As far as jewellry is concerned I wouldn't even have a clue where to start looking, I'd need some help on that one!

If I upped the budget to £100 that should give me more options.

I've got it!

It never occured to me before but she was always asking me to take her on a flight but due to weather and whatnot I never really got the chance. I thought it might be a good idea to take her somewhere for the day but it's going to cost me about £500+ to fly over to Ireland and hire a plane for the day. So, I'm going to get her a voucher for a flying lesson

Why the hell didn't I think of that before?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
