3. Cooking Class Experience
Book a cooking class for her (and perhaps for both of you together) to enjoy learning how to prepare a new cuisine. It’s a fun way to spend time together and learn new skills.
4. Personalized Jewelry
Opt for a piece of jewelry that includes a personal touch, such as a necklace with the initials of all her children or a bracelet with a meaningful quote that she loves.
