80 presents for 80th birthday...help!

[tessiegirl]

My nan is shortly turning 80 and I wanted to try and come up with 80 presents for her
Is it possible?!
Presents can be small and cheap to some which can be more expensive...
Can anyone please help with ideas?

I wonder if Nan knows not to say what she thinks of OPs ideas?

I really feel quite sorry for her. That must be what, an hour and a half of unwrapping and smiling gratefully, at least?

It'll be like a kid on Christmas morning tearing through 80 presents. Completely overwhelming. There'll be tears and tantrums before bedtime.
Probably op's.

We are up to 65 gifts! So close!

Nah, I'll believe that when I see the photos.

How about 80 items in a hamper that she'd use?

Tea
Biscuits
Chocolate
Jam
Etc etc.......

Yep all kinds of gifts so far!

Wind up post, eh OP? How boring.

Only 65 so far? What an amateur.

🤦‍♀️

Maybe there's a reason 95% of posters are encouraging you to do something different?!

Totally. This idea is all about the OP, not her Nan.

It's not us you have to convince that this is a good idea, op, it's your poor beleaguered Granny.

Is anyone else hoping that OP's gran is one of those old people who's lost their filter and says exactly what she thinks?

Like the granny from The Kumars at No. 42? Yes 😂

Or Catherine Tate's Nan.

If my GC get me any of the tut on this thread for my 80th I'm disinheriting the lot of them!

@VanGoghsDog

Nice Tissues

What does that mean? How are some tissues nicer than others? Aren't tissues just tissues? Isn't buying something so utilitarian a bit joyless? How about "nice sanitary ware"? (Or incontinence pads at this age)

Ha ha ha yes that does sound shit doesn't it. My bad. Though some nice Kleenex as opposed to home bargains individual pack of 20 for a quid!!.

@tessiegirl perhaps you'd like to share some of the gifts you've bought, as it may help others that stumble across this thread. I could hardly think of 20 let alone 80.
I hope your Nan has a lovely Birthday
