A beautiful plant?
(always goes down well with my 75 year old Grandma)

Some simple smellies? Hand creams, or lotions?

Chocolates, maybe Thorntons or something like that.

A scarf? A silky one? or a woolly one with gloves maybe?

A voucher for a garden centre, or Boots, or a bookshop?

Does she like a tipple? Like a bottle of Sherry or brandy?

Hope that's helpedSmile

Hand creams are nice as are drawer liners (even I like these and I'm only 33!!) and room spray (I have these too - yummy!).
