Stocking for grandparent

[TheWayOfTheWorld]

Help! I've invited my grandma to stay with us on Christmas Eve, we are all really looking forward to it but I am having a slight panic re: stockings.

For the first time this year DH and I are having stockings as well as the DC but it has occurred to me that I should put something together for my grandma so she doesn't feel left out.

It's her birthday soon after Christmas so I have already got her perfume, pyjamas, a magazine subscription and a flower subscription.

She is late 80s, fairly active still but has tonnes of things such as family photographs. Her flat is boiling so she doesn't need things like luxury hot water bottles. She has a balcony but her main arm chair faces into the living room so something like a bird feeder would be a waste.

So far I have some chocolates...

Soap to go with the perfume?
Posh cheese? (one of my mum's favourite Christmas presents was a cheese hamper)

Face cream, hand cream, lip balm, word search, mini Christmas pudding, pen, diary, notepad, gloves, thick socks.

Hand cream, a scarf, miniature of a drink she likes..

A lovely soap and a pack of new facecloths.

Edibles- artisan jam/chutney/chocs.

A nice pen.

Traditional sweets eg mint imperials.

Miniature bottle (spirits or wine)
Nuts
Posh dried or crystallized fruit
Soap /handcream/bubblebath
Those boxed bulbs that come pre potted and just need water adding?
A plant? Poinsettias are everywhere at the moment.

Some good ideas here, thank you! I'm thinking the hand cream/soap, a couple of miniature white wines (she likes the odd glass but a whole bottle would be wasted), lip balm. Will ask my mum if there are any sweets she particularly likes. I've just remembered that we are making her some shortbread to go in a nice tin, so that can in as well.

A funky pen? Most older people I know like to do puzzles so would use a pen.

we Usually put a magazine in everyone s stocking - you roll it a little and put it in almost last and it holds the shape of the stocking (as well as being a nice thing!) Depending on her interests, Woman & Home or Good Housekeeping might work, or the Lady or Country Life (I always get my mum the Xmas edition of Country life). Or there are lots of history or nature related titles too,

Snap- we always do a magazine too.
Don't forget the satsuma!
