It is Step MIL’s birthday soon. We aren’t close but FIL recently died and she is very alone. DH is bereft hence I am
not leaving this to him as I usually do.

She is late 70’s, some health and mobility issues. Does drink but doesn’t go for chocs. We always usually get wine, scarf or smellies.

I am look for ideas for a better gift this year as it is a horrible time, she is lonely as her own adult kids aren’t local. Around £50 but flexible.

What is your go to gift?

She doesn’t do anything online if she can help it so nothing that requires internet or a smart phone!

What about treating her to afternoon tea out somewhere? My MIL loves that sort of thing
