Anyone fancy a challenge (gift for 77yo mum)?

So, I have got her a couple of bits but not really a 'proper' gift.

She can't use bath products, isn't into face products and likes to choose her own make up
Diabetic
Doesn't read (apart from the odd autobiography and is still ploughing through the one I got her for her birthday in July) watch films or listen to music
Doesn't wear jewellery or a watch
Doesn't drink
Doesn't have any hobbies as such apart from mooching on the PC.

She is uber practical. Atm the top contenders are a tin opener or a toilet brush! Although typing this out I wonder about getting her a new tablet, so if anyone can recommend an android one (not Kindle) around £50 that might work.

Any ideas?

my mother is & 73 and sounds almost the same person! Def not a slippers and socks/wooly person either. Will take a couple of these ideas but i am still stumped.

it [[http://www.lloydspharmacy.com/en/baylis---38%3B-harding-sweet-mandarin---38%3B-grapefruit-square-bag-set]] and for under a tenner reduced from £20, not that I'm tight, but she only wants the set for the bag - she won't be able to use the contents.

Last one in the shop so thank goodness I went in this morning.

She's also got a book, a card game, sweets and bought her some flowers at the weekend.
