Stocking for elderly lady

I have been making a Christmas stocking for an elderly lady for years (she told me she'd never had one as a child so I've made one for her ever since). She always tells me it's the highlight of her Christmas. Problem is trying to think of something different. I don't mind having some repeats such as handcreams, soaps, notelets, stamps, puzzle books, naice food tins etc but am always on the look out for new ideas. Help please!!! Even if they are things I've included befor I'm sure suggestions will be helpful for others too. Thanks!!

Mini hot water bottle

What a lovely thing to do! Smile

Find out how old she was and research the toys of the era, there are lots of retro toys available (cup and ball, jacks) etc that would probably tickle her and she could teach Grandchildren if she has any.

  • Nice talc - a lot of older people still like and use talc.
  • Small, inexpensive MP3 player that you can preload with golden oldies.
  • Oversized playing cards.
  • Calendar with their interest (birds, cats etc)
  • warm gloves or mittens
  • A nice shopper bag
  • one of those photo books with old pictures of the area they grew up / lived in this type of thing.
