Hi all,

We're doing secret Santa for the adults in the family this year.

I have no idea what to buy. She seems to have everything at this point in life.

Woman in early 60s.
Doesn't do spa days, treatments etc.
Doesn't really drink.
No hobbies.
£60 limit.

I'm completely at a loss.

Please, please help with some suggestions.

Happy to try another board if people are annoyed I'm on this one. Had no idea where else to post.

Thanks!

Theatre vouchers?

Radio she does'nt listen, apart from in the car.
Shes not a foodie for a hamper, and is fussy.

I got theatre vouchers a couple of years ago as there was a show she wanted to see, she still hasn't used them yet.

Thanks for suggestions so far. Definitely need more help though please.
