Help making a shoebox for mil

[chamaeleon]

She is in her 70s and not very well, we invited her here for xmas but she wants to stay home so will be alone. I want to send her a box of little things to open xmas morning. Stuff like bath bomb, chocs, pictures from the kids, little treats iykwim. But thats about as far as I have got. Any ideas? I can make it up to 2kg so it can go special delivery.

ooh, some fab ideas. where do i buy mini baileys?

Anyone know the poem "Let me die a young man's death" - god preserve me from hankies and lavender! However socks would be great. Shower stuff as she may not be able to get into her bath. Food and drink - we used to do things like tinned smoked oysters and while I think they were passed on the idea was appreciated. Mini rolls or cake bars. Mince pies. Mini sausage rolls. Baby bel. Mini pringles, after eights, small brandy (medicinal). Cloth to clean glasses (most older people have them).

She doesnt have a shower! Little tinned things is a great idea, we have a fab shop locally which does unusual stuff, will have to have a look round.

what about a diary or a calender.notelets. body spray. talcum powder.nougat,fudge.
i used to make up a small hamper for a single person for my mum with things like small cans of salmon,tongue,cods roe,mini jams and marmalades,earl grey tea
