[npg1]

I bought my Nan perfect and protect from Boots. She was delighted.

where is her arthritis? If she hasn't got any heated pad things, you could get her one of those microwaveable wheat pillows with lavender or something - putting those on arthritic joints can help alleviate the pain and stiffness. If it's in her knees, you can buy special heated knee pads - they might help. If she doesn't already take glucosamine (and isn't allergic to shellfish) then you could maybe get her some glucosamine to take - again it might help with her arthritis. My grandad couldn't take it but he swore by garlic capsules for his arthritis, and he also had a Bioflow magnetic wristband that he wore all the time.

It is so hard!

I used to get my gran an absolute ton of shower gels/talcs/soaps etc and put it in a nice box, it would last her all year nearly.

Also sometimes I would get her an absolute ton of different magazines, and it took her ages to work through them.

I think I also used to get her Pot plants, individual baileys, chocolates, fluffy socks, a big box of books from the charity shop. Also good is a nice photo of you or family members in a frame which you can update each year.

Photobox.co.uk will make up Calendars with a different photo for each month. We used to do it for FIL and ask SIL & BIL for photos of their kids as well.
