Present for dd's friend's grandparents

[Socy]

Help please! My dd has been invited to France with her friend's family to stay with friend's grandparents, who live there. Whilst she is there it is the grandparents' 50th Wedding Anniversary and they will all be going out for a meal. I feel my daughter should take some small gift as a general thank you for the holiday but possibly also as an anniversary present but I've no idea what to get. Obviously alcohol is out, chocolates are no good as Grandmother is diabetic. Any suggestions?

How lovely, lucky DD

Photo frame? Maybe too dull

Some nice coffee mugs

Thanks, for the ideas - they have lots of grandchildren so I'm sure a photo frame will be used; I think I might be worried about coffee mugs getting broken.

We have a local farm shop that sells some nice locally made jams etc, so that could be an idea, obviously don't want anything too heavy for the bag.

Are the grandparents French? Maybe some fancy blends of loose tea and a teapot? (Breakable but might be easier to pad one thing than several). Jams is a good idea, would be great on croissants! Maybe throw some chutneys or something in there too in case the Nan can't have jam.

I think it would be odd to receive a very personal gift from someone you've (presumably) never met, so I'd stick with the consumable and usable - you don't know their taste, etc, and you wouldn't want to make a child feel uncomfortable giving a gift that might be inappropriate.

Thanks for the suggestions. We went for the local produce - marmalade and a ploughmans chutney as being typically English, although grandparents are English anyway and visit here quite a lot. DD took some persuading that this wasn't a 'weird' present, but a gift box helped and she's had fun packing them up safely.
