Dear Annabella

My mum (Susan, aged 62) has been through quite a hard time recently.

I want to get her a gift to let her know I’m thinking of her and help to cheer her up.

Can you let me know what your ideas are?

Joseph M from Egerton, Kent

Dear Joseph,

I am wholly in favour of young men treating their mothers to the odd gift every now and again, indeed I have directed my own sons to the buyagift website many times, but sadly have yet to receive a single bouquet.

The perfect gift for a deserving mother is undoubtedly a health spa day with plenty of beauty treatments. Our Champneys Spa Day includes a splendid massage from a well built young man (I recommend Sven) and a facial smoothing procedure, both of which she should enjoy immensely.

Best, Annabella
