Ideas for gift for elderly couple

Hello

I have really wonderful neighbours who are in their mid-seventies that I buy for for Christmas .

Usually I buy them a voucher for coffee/ cake out. This year however, they are going out anywhere due to the husband being quite unwell since October and having 3 surgeries with another one ( brain) scheduled for January.

Any ideas for a couple that has everything. They have so much stuff already, limited diet, they love their garden but have everything.

Help!

A little hamper with some nice cakes and tea in?
sweets and treats
a plant for their garden
geberally in my experience older people favour edible luxuries.

Bird feeder that sticks on the window and a supply of bird food for it (you can buy the seed kind or the ones that have jars of peanut butter)

Best present ever for my Mum in her 80s

Other suggestions

Really nice biscuits eg M&S £12 Belgian chocolate or Hotel Chocolat biscuits of the gods
Bottle of (medicinal Smile) brandy
Subscription to a magazine eg Saga, Peoples Friend etc
Large print edition of recent book
Book about the area especially books of old photos
"voucher" for an accompanied trip somewhere they want to go eg visit an old friend
Afternoon tea delivery from a local company or eg Rick Stein
