Birthday ideas for my brother- we’ve just lost our mum

Hi everyone,

Its not an overly urgent question but it's my brother's 27th birthday in a couple of weeks and I want to get him something special that could remind him of mum. We lost her in January, and since then I had my birthday. My brother got me a cushion made out of one of mums favourite dress so I want to get him or make him something similar but I just can't think what. Any ideas? Xxxx

  • Hello rachWBA

    What a lovely gift your brother arranged for your birthday. I can imagine that it's something you will treasure. 

    Birthday gifts can be such personal items and particularly in this case as you want to do something that your brother will have to remember Mum by. 

    I hope that some of our members here may be able to share ways in which they've done things to remember loved ones but I'm sure that whatever you decide to do that he will cherish. 

    Best wishes,
