Hamper ideas for pensioner

[WrongSideOfHistory]

I've decided to do a hamper for my FIL - in his 70s, tee-total, no real hobbies, so going to be food-based.

So far I have:
Chocolate orange
Nice biscuits
Little puddings - chocolate sponge, treacle sponge, Christmas pudding
Probably mince pies and stollen

Any other thoughts?

A few nice chocs and a caddy of GOOD tea.Some nice cheese of the variety she likes.

Some good quality chutneys and pickles would go well with the cheese and biscuits.

Mints
Barley sugars
Mustard
Jams

Bottle of decent fruit juice.
Smoked salmon.
A gingerbread Father Christmas.

Shortbread
Some nice cordial
Marmalade
Cheese and crackers
Nice teabags/coffee
Quality Streets or a Toblerone

What would you put in it if he was 30?

Put that in it.

Olives. Pate.

Brilliant - thanks all

I did one for my FIL and put a few of tins of really nice soup in there ( e.g. he liked Lobster Bisque ) also cheese and crackers , i.e. things he could have for a nice dinner / supper without too much effort ( this is age related actually as he was increasingly not cooking properly for himself as he got older - older than your FIL ) -so some chocolates etc but also savoury things which he could make a nice evening meal out of without much effort. We put a jar of stilton in there which seems to last for ages. Otherwise yes - just whatever you know he likes whatever age but I would go for a mixture of sweet things and savoury. I do think pickles or mustards ( if he likes that are good as also last. ) & teabags and coffee. A bottle of elderflower fizz or similar ?

A pack of nice Christmassy paper napkins and some mint imperials

Small bottles of wine?(Just enough for1 glass in each)

That's a lot of sweet stuff. Put in some savoury too? Posh crackers/ breadsticks, tins of nice soup?

Mini Christmas pudding or steamed pudding?
Tin of deluxe custard?

My nan likes black magic chocolates, honeycombe and fudge.

Another vote for chutney and maybe some nice cheeses.
