Presents for relatives in their 70s

[lugeforlife]

I need to buy 2 presents, one for my pil and one for my aunt and uncle.

Both need to be delivered
Neither set want things- they want consumables of one type or another
Neither big drinkers, both have weird food stuff going on
PIL can be a bit tricky from a mobility perspective
Not big drinkers
Both sets love their gardens
Neither set hugely theatre/culture vultures

Budget is about 75 for pil and 50 for a&u

In the past we have got
Betty's hamper for pil (but have got it a few years in a row)
Plants - a mulberry bush, other plants
Flowers
Bird tables
Tickets for local sporting event for pil (don't think they'd manage any more due to fil mobility considerations)

I am at a loss. Any help?

As a gardener, I get through four or five pairs of gardening gloves a year. Full leather ones are best. Secateurs never seem to last long either, or long handled lopers. There are bags, like tool belts, that contain fork, trowel, secateurs, gloves etc.

Bronnely gardeners hand salve.

Kneelers too. For elderly relatives, you can get padded kneelers that have handles on the sides to help them get up afterwards (my dm's favourite 😊).

With the change in our climate, I now have two fig trees growing against our kitchen wall, producing about 50 figs a year, so if your family like fresh figs, that is easy. Large pots to grow them in, which are horribly expensive.

Magazine subscriptions? My late MIL didn't want any more "stuff" in her last few years but she enjoyed her subscriptions to Prima and Good Housekeeping. Gardeners World or Amateur Gardening might appeal to your relatives.

Or RHS have a Black Friday deal on memberships. 25% off and a free book. For £78 joint membership you get a monthly magazine and free entry to 5 RHS gardens. They have mobility scooters available to borrow at their gardens.

Thank you for these. My mum has a mature fig tree and we love it!

the joy of perimeno insomnia is that I think I've sorted the in laws. I looked at the Glutinous Gardener (have used them before and always been good) and they seem to have expanded their gift range since I last looked.

I've bought mil the cooks grow bar kit, fil
a grow your own sweets kit (he is a killer for old fashioned sweets but can't have them any more) plus a butterfly grow bar. All a little bit fancy/gimmicky but easy, free delivery and I lashed out an extra quid to get a Christmas wrapper.
