My closest telative is in her 80s
Tbh most of the 'nice things' mentioned would not be apprecistrd as she doesnt want more clutter, nore to dust or smelly stuff in her house. Just her but often as we get older we dont want the hassle of more ornaments, crockery in cupboards already full of a lifetimes worth of cups and plates.
I have bought her jigsaws (which she loves as they keep her brain active) for Xmas.
A trug of various bird feeding stuff and an unusual bird feeder. She loves watching her birds😀
Also craft stuff as she loves her craft classes.
One year it was a hamper of different flavours/makes of hot choc, which she has every night and some fancy biccies.
Think about what she likes and what her intetests are but also if she really needs it or would even use it? If she likes gardening maybe something like new gloves, new tools, some new plants or a small planter full of various bulbs?
A small amount of something she will really like is better than a ton of stuff people think older women should like😀 Something personal is likely to be appreciated more than some generic 'woman's present'.
Food hamper - jam ones are always good
Ha, nope not always. Being older doesnt mean you live on scones and jam ! My 87yr old rellie still makes her own jam (and bakes 30 scones a week for her pensioners club) but doesnt eat much jam herself. She gives it all away😀 last thing she would want would be jam😂😂
