It is my mother’s 80th birthday soon and I have been racking my brains to think of a suitable birthday present for her. She has all the clothes, furniture and books she could ever need. She doesn’t often watch much TV and she doesn’t even know what a dvd is, technology is really not her thing.

So I spent ages thinking about this and then suddenly it struck me. Antique Glass items have always been a favorite of hers. Ever since I was a small child I can remember the colored glass catching the sun on various objects and ornaments we had around the home. So now I have decided what to get I just have to find the perfect item. There is a huge range of antique glass available to buy online so I have no doubt I will find a beautiful colored glass item that is perfect for her.
