HELP

Its july

A robot vacuum. Vouchers for house cleaning. Meal deliveries. A tablet (if she uses the internet, obviously).

What are her interests? Does she garden, read, paint, visit places do crafts? I would start with what she likes to do and go from there.

Big you can hide the Christmas topic if it doesn't interest you. Or just not reply.

OP my grandma of a similar age loves personalised things. Last year a mug with a picture taken the Christmas before of all the family went down really well.

Goodness you are organised! I buy for my parents who are in their 80/90s the following:

Home made hampers - lovely food items they wouldn’t treat themselves to in a normal food shop
Magazine subscriptions
Voucher for afternoon tea
Theatre tickets and transport them there and back
Books
Box sets

Hth

Yes it is July but this is a Christmas board... you don't have to respond and due to being on maternity leave this year I have to plan ahead...

Thank you everyone for your suggestions.. interests are limited but she enjoys seeing family, meals out, films and sweet treats.

Might go for a photo calendar of her grandchildren, sweet/treat hamper, Lion King movie dvd (she loves Disney) and a meal/afternoon tea out

I have the same issues with my Gparents.
I get them the Tower of Treats from Costco
www.costco.co.uk/c/Festive-Tower-of-Treats-in-Small-Pattern-Design/p/158435D
It contains fudge, cookies and other goodies but looks rather decadent.

One present that's gone down very well with both old and young, is a really cosy fleecy blanket for snuggling under while watching TV etc.

Mine have come from Edinburgh Woollen Mills - called Sherpa Fleece IIRC.

Presents my mum has loved:
A shredder
Fleecy 'teddy bear' blanket from Dunelm
Mug with a photo of the grandchildren on it
An artificial orchid. I have one in my office and too many people have asked me what I feed it

No idea what to get her this year; so all ideas welcomed.

I got my Nan a Bloom and Wild year long subscription for her 80th - flowers delivered every month for a year. I don't know what your budget is but they also do 3 month and 6 month subscriptions.

My DH's nan always just ends up with loads of chocolate and biscuits, despite being diabetic...

Photo gifts always go down well, especially a digital photo frame we got one year. She likes watching the birds and squirrels in the garden, so any new feeders/houses are always good. She also likes sparkly jewelry so we've bought her a few bits over the years.

Turtle doves have got a sale on at the moment. Ive just bought fingerless gloves for my DM and DMIL.

Vouchers or even better tickets to take her out for a meal /cinema trip/ theatre trip/ day out. Far better to make memories than give unwanted stuff for the sake of it.

I just had a quick look at the Sherpa fleece from Edinburgh Woollen mill is currently in the sale.

I usually get some personalized stuff for my grandma. Last year I got her a personalized apron and year before that her family tree.

A plug in fleece throw that warms up? Photo collage on canvas of her favourite photos of all the family?
