Hello everyone, just looking for some advice.
Unfortunately my partner's grandmother is not well and it's likely to be her last Christmas. He's been very upset trying to pick an appropriate gift and I'm trying to help, but it's hard because I've become very close to her too.
I thought perhaps she might appreciate a nice, high quality scarf and was thinking cashmere would be the way to go. I thought she might feel the cold quite badly over the next few months, though frankly nobody is sure exactly how much time she has. She isn't particularly fashion obsessed but she does dress stylishly and all the cashmere scarves I can find are quite plain, do you think this would be a boring gift or would you appreciate the softness and quality more than the design?
For background, I bought her a very nice quality blanket the Christmas before last and she was thrilled. My in-laws are lovely but tend to be "quantity over quality" people, where as his grandmother is more like me I think and enjoys getting one very lovely thing (we both hate clutter too!) She is still trying to get out and about as much as she can, so she does like dressing up a little. I'm just worried about getting it wrong I suppose.
I'm sorry if this sounds daft, I'm just very flustered and hate having to think about it really, but I don't want to rush and pick something "blah" either. I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
