My aunt is fabulous; 80, always single, professional educator and choreographer. Still working. Still organising and cooking the community Christmas dinner. Still organising charity events and facilitating aid drops. In short she's amazing.
Her old students and community friends overload her with candles, wine, anything dance related, shortbread, scarves and socks etc.
I've been doing pretty well over the years but have hit a wall.
Please come at me with anything you can think of that a clever brilliant woman on her own might like. Thanks!!

If she gets lots of physical presence I would go for an experience. What sort of thing would she love to do?

I would say an experience rather than a physical item. Would she like a meal/show? Matthew Bourne Swan Lake is touring and is incredible.

Afternoon tea at the ritz

Flower subscription

tickets to Strictly tour

Food hamper

book subscription

Shes sound wonderful. I’m picturing a flamboyant person in a Hermes scarf, called Gloria or Lucille - she wouldn’t have an ordernary name like Jane or Sarah.

I always recommend this for hard-to-buy-for people who like books (guessing she might as an educator?) www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1762782235/

A pupil bought me one of these and it's absolutely lovely. An amazing gift!

Big bottle of her favourite perfume

Please keep them coming. Some of these are great, some she gets for free. I should say that she flies in the face of fashion; a lovely scarf is a lovely scarf for her, whatever the brand or designer, and she has so very many.
She deserved something entirely new (at least to her), which means that the more esoteric the better. She's pretty much seen it all over the years.
