Christmas Hamper for those self-isolating over Christmas

My grandparents have decided to self-isolate over Christmas. Understandably as my Grampa has pre-existing conditions and both of their children work with the public so are probably quite high risk.

I'd like to put together a hamper of things to do and enjoy over the festive period so they don't feel too alone. Is anyone else in a similar situation and does anyone have any ideas? Or indeed is there a company that's creating these? All the ones I've found are for the Christmas Dinner and my Granny will definitely be wanting to do that her way!

What do they enjoy? Budget?

How about large letter playing cards. Good for those with poorer eyesight.

You could buy a couple of luxury crackers and how about table sparklers.

Some luxury food a d drink - maybe a brand above what they would normally go for or stock to known favourites. A photo jigsaw of the family. Books or magazines to read. A DVD of a good film if they don't have streaming services. Maybe some scones, jam a d freak for a wee afternoon tea, or order one in.

John Lewis and M&S have nice hampers. If they're trying to keep away from all infections they might prefer something sent directly.

Oh I love the idea of a photo puzzle and the large print cards. And I'll check JL for what they've got. I don't think they're too worried about getting anything from presents although maybe I should make sure they're all things they can leave "quarantining" for a few days just in case. Thank you all. Very helpful suggestions.
