I think it would be a really nice gesture to get your SO's mum a stocking. Just fill it with some nice smelling lotion or soap, some candy/gum, and a fun magazine. It doesn't have to be too personal- just a little treat.
If you can figure out what to get your SO's mum, then I would keep it a surprise. If you're really stuck, then get some help from him. What he's getting in his stocking will still be a surprise.

Okay. It's a bit early but this is for those bees who still do Christmas stockings/sacks/other Santa/Father Christmas related delivery of gifts.
So this year I am spending Christmas Day with my SOs brother and his family. On the 23rd we are collecting SOs mother and driving to my parents (4 hours away) then staying with my family for two nights so we can go to midnight mass on Christmas Eve at my family church. We will wake up Christmas morning at my parents, have breakfast then the three of us will head off to SOs brothers (30 minutes away).
My family ALWAYs do stockings. Even though we're adults. I mentioned this to my mum, what with SO and mum being there Christmas morning. She had initially suggested we don't do it this year but my brother insisted (we're big kids). So we agreed that I would do my SOs stocking. Then my mum said not to do anything for SOs mums because my Dad wont be here this year for Christmas (another story, for another day) and he usually does my mums, so they will both be without. However, my brothers and I had already decided that we would do our mum one as a surprise because we know she'll be upset that Dad won't be here; we even thought we could get Dad to send us some things to put in it, to make it extra special.
But then I'd feel guilty about SOs mum being left out. They've not met yet so it would be a bit wierd my mum getting something together, and its not a tradition my SO follows. So I am stuck as to what to do. Should I abandon the idea of doing a stocking for my mum? Or try and get some little things together for his mum anyway, would that be weird? We get along but we're not that close. Or do I get my SO involved, spoiling the surprise? Stuck!
I should add that we're a traditional family so don't open any other presents until after the Queen's speech in the afternoon (I'm a British Bee) so she would be without a gift at all on Christmas morning and would have to wait until we reached SOs brothers.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, I hope this makes sense!
