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!

A luxury upgrade of something she already loves? Eg cashmere or silk.

Is she a gardener? Hori Hori knives are amazing.

English heritage membership? Willoughby book club membership? (I love this so much!) a subscription?

A fablou bag? Or purse. Again, love mine so much!

Matching scarf, hat and gloves?

One of those long hot water bottles?

A chillys bottle (the smaller one in rose gold was a hit for my mil) one for hot drinks, one for cold?

Beeswax wraps or something eco friendly?

A David Austin standard rose?

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.
