The Hannah Dunnett pictures are all lovely, I have just ordered one for her, thank you.
She has multiple holding crosses, I know that she would cherish the gift but I don’t want to land her with more stuff she won’t use.
Where we are S. England/E. England rosary beads are definitely not a Protestant thing.
@triballeader a shawl could be a very good idea, though I would prefer to discuss colours with her before I purchase, she may be ailing but she will always be stylish! Also, I would like to choose something that she cannot fall over, so nothing too large or difficult to remove.
I’ve sent her a lot of cards over the years, although I had never found Christian cards, I always write a psalm or a verse in them. I choose one which is appropriate to her/my current situation. She has kept dozens of them, which squeezes my heart when I think about it.
Funny isn’t it how life turns? The people who once looked after us and were there when we needed them, if we are fortunate enough to keep them, become the ones we care for?
@Abominableday 😆 actually that’s our sense of humour, though in this case I will choose something other than Psalm 23. Besides, the Lord is her Shepherd, that doesn’t need to be reaffirmed.
I’m a Christmas baby and even Carols/Christmas songs would be appropriate, she would understand immediately. Think the final verse of the Christina Rossetti In the Bleak Midwinter.
I’m wary of buying her a mug, if she broke it I know she would be very upset
A wooden plaque is good @Justmerach particularly as my DS is a carpenter and will make one himself, she will know it is made with love.
Do you have a link to the mother rose brooches, please?
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread.
