An easy to look after garden plant that flowers Dec/Jan?

[feetheart]

I need a flowering present for a friend's garden but she claims to kill all things green so it needs to survive being neglected be easy to look after.

The above plant is easy to look after and smells wonderful !

I've got some winter jasmine which seems to be surviving fine - it has yellow flowers on bare stems this time of year, then gets leaves in the spring. I put plants in the ground and then ignore them, so it must be fairly robust!

hellebores. loads of them.

Second the winter jasmine, doesn't smell lovely like summer one, but it pretty and must be tough to survive my gardening methods!

Iris unguicularis grows in a sunny spot even in the worst baked soil and has scented flowers from Nov to March. Very tough!

Witch hazel. Grows to a medium sized tree and doesn't require pruning. Beautiful winter flowers in yellow, red or orange.

YES to all the suggestions you have had. Also Pulmonaria, which are very tough, and I have my first ones starting to flower now:
