Not my parent but a lovely lady in her late 80's who I have known for the last 3 years. I want to give her a lovely present that she'll actually like.
Not rightly and completely wrongly she's still doing her own weekly shop as well as picking up bits for her elderly neighbours (she does have family but they're a bit useless, plus she's a battle axe so she'll do what she jolly well wants). She's still collecting her daily newspaper, she's fiercely independent - despite all the advice she's given.
Keen gardener, keen baker, keen community supporter... I don't want to give her a hamper of food or some seeds with a pot ... I just can't think of anything else..
I'd be grateful for some ideas :)
