presents for grandparents

ODes anyone have any wonderful ideas as to what I can buy DH's grandparents for christmas?
I've finished all my christmas present shopping today apart from these 3 presents (1 Nan, in her 90s, still goes out, bit hard of hearing and poor eyesight and 1 Nan and Grandad, both in their 80s, again still mobile but not very adventurous).
Over the years I rather feel I've exhausted the pictures of grandchildren, Hampers etc and I'm really stuck this year.
Any ideas very gratefully received.

What about audio casettes of a book that the one with poor eyesight might like?

Would the non-adventurous ones like new slippers?

Do you have any pottery cafes near you? Most older relatives seem to like things that the children have helped make. Could do handprints or footprints if children are very little.

Maybe the concern appeal - buy a goat for a family in africa on their behalf?

What about one of these?

Slippers, nighties/pjs, smellies, large print books, books on tape, CDs/videos of classics, plants, maybe the kids could back them a cake?
