Have an aunt of similar age and my mother will be 80 soon.They're at the point in life where they don't often want stuff for the sake of it. Until we can spend time together again then memories (and FaceTime) are the best we can get.

Made auntie a photo book recently with pictures of all of the little ones in things she had knitted for them and will do similar for my mother. Do you have photos of you with your auntie? I'd start there.

Time together. Tough in Covid times though.

I made a blanket for my gran with family photos on, using a company called Bags of Love. Its so lovely and warm and she likes the memories it brings when she uses it.

I booked afternoon tea to be delivered to an elderly friend. Might there be anywhere that does similar near her?
