Help- unexpected gifts ideas needed

3 replies

I am looking for some ideas from the hive mind on here.
I have been invited to a friends house on Xmas day for lunch, my kids are going to their dad's in the morning and my friend insisted I go to hers rather than be on my own for the day (which I am very happy about).
The thing is she mentioned that they do table gifts. I am sure that noone is expecting anything from me (I will of course take gifts for my hosts and their daughterwho I usually buy for anyway).

However there will be her parents- her dad has dementia and has only a few months to live.
And her mother in law, who I have met a few times over the years but I don't know really.
So any ideas of something I can get for three people in their 80s?
I don't want to spend alot buy maybe £5- 10 each.

Where are you planning to shop - as it’s maybe too late for online?

Edibles seem safe:

Half bottle of port or whatever seems ok within budget.
Fancy preserves or honey.
Cheese.
I’m adding Hemp tea to some Christmas stockings … Xmas Grin

My local Christmas Market closes at 5pm today so I am planning on doing a dash into there. I think I may make up a hamper type thing that can then be shared out/ eaten throughout the day. I know they will all spend some time together over the whole week.

Hemp tea seems interesting... 🤔
