DM always likes my presents but it's kind of a high bar now and I feel like I've done everything!
She likes reading, knitting, gardening, art, and rambling, as well as travelling.
She's relatively active but is 81 so there are limits nowadays.
If I buy her anything to eat she moans that she "doesn't need it" and gives it to someone else.
I have bought her a nice knitting kit (but she finds it hard to get the right tension so tends to stick to her tried and trusted patterns despite the fact that the DCs will never wear her itchy jumpers...).
Bought everything cashmere already, as well as a lovely wool blanket for the sofa.
Done a book club subscription, nice socks and lavender eye mask, done hand cream though of course I could get some more but that's a bit small for a whole present.
She makes everything for the allotment out of junk and I don't really know what she needs (apart from hand cream of course!).
I tried to get her annual membership of her local art gallery before but it was really complicated and she's too far from big cities to really want to travel for e.g. Royal Academy membership (also she's fallen out with a few of her regular haunts, suspect over gender woo but I can't remember which ones!)
She's already in the NT and I have such a lot of family limitations that I can't any longer go and take her out to the theatre or similar (that's been successful in the past and I would enjoy it too, so that's a shame).
She does a painting class but I don't really know what she'd like/need for that.
ETA she wouldn't want scented candles, and I've bought her an oil burner before but I don't think she used up the melts I got.
Heeeelp....
