Help me get a birthday present for lovely sixty-something aunt

Trying to help my father get a birthday present for my lovely aunt who is in her late sixties but is not in need of lavender pot pourri, slankets, jigsaw puzzles or other gifts occasionally suggested on MN for anyone over the age of 45 Smile.

She’s a retired Classics teacher, broadsheet reader, very cultural, quite keen on Mediterranean cooking, loves her garden, devoted to her young grandchildren.

Any brilliant ideas? Budget between 20 and 50 quid.

Recently bought a similar demographic aunt a share of a bee hive. She just got her invitation to the harvest and she's very very excited.

Actually, she's only very excited. Not quite three-year-old-on-christmas-morning levels.

I am just about mid sixties, gifts I would welcome would be good wine, single malt whisky, amazon vouchers (for all the kindle books I read), anything Clarins, Pimms (bit of a booze theme here). I also like really lovely cut flower displays (the sort that are already in oasis in a container so you don't have to find a suitable vase) because it is something I would never buy myself.
Don't really like edible gifts because it's invariably something I would never chose to eat anyway.
