Cold weather hamper - ideas?

[Derbyshirelady]

My MIL has asked for removable grips for the bottom of her shoes for Christmas - she has fallen in icy weather before.

i thought of expanding this into a winter/cold weather survival hamper with some warm socks in it too, but am a bit stuck for other ideas of what else to put in it? She prefers practical things when it comes to gifts and is very hard to buy for!

TIA!

A lovely mug or cup and saucer (whichever she prefers) and some nice tea and biscuits. A snuggie blanket with sleeves, one of those buckwheat pillow things thst you heat up in the microwave (my Mummy has one and it's lush, I really covet it!) Car de-icer if she's a driver, or some of that path clearing salty grit mix which could be fab if she's worried about slipping.

Hot water bottle
Hot chocolate
Flask type cup to keep drinks warm?
Marshmallows for the hot chocolate
Nice smelly candle
Cosy pjs

Deep Heat bubble bath (it's v nice).
A really good novel for snuggling up with - Sherlock Holmes stories, or a Wilkie Collins, or some ghost stories.

great idea!

de icer?

snow shovel?

ice salt stuff...comes in bags or a bigger tub. Have seen it in tesco/home bargains in the car care type isle. she can melt her own steps or path then?

Brilliant! Thanks for the great ideas. Will do a mixture of practical de icing type stuff and nice bits.
