My teens and I have decided we want to make MIL an advent calendar this year.
MIL has been very sick this year and due to this is very frail. Spends most of her day in a chair in her living room. She enjoys doing some sewing but has loads of stuff for this.
We want to give her little things that just sort of makes the day a bit " comfort" All things she can use whilst sitting in her usual chair.
So far we have
Pocket tissues (Christmas ones)
Small tub of hand cream
Lip balm
1 Bauble (as well its fun) - closer to Christmas
1 string of tinsel to put around her walker
1 Mincepie (from Waitrose bakery she loves those - will be number 1)
1 Sudoku puzzle book as she likes those
1 pen (again Christmas one off course)
However then we are getting a bit stuck. She will not like us spending a lot of money on it. So cant be more than a few £ each present. She is not one for clutter so it really does need to be usable. Also she is allergic to Chocolate so we can't get her that. In the last Christmas week I was thinking we could do some more sort of Christmassy things she may not have when alone.. Food wise but I am a bit stuck as to what.. She still has some Christmas puddings in the fridge from last year of the small 1 person type so that wont be ideal.
Any ideas? Really we want something that will make her feel we care and she is loved and thought about daily.
