Hi all, i need a little help with what to buy my nan for her 96th birthday, shes in a nursing home so dosnt get out and about as shes unable to walk and i have no idea what to buy her for her birthday. Help please.......... sensible answers only. thankyou.
A bouquet of flowers sounds good, she loves flowers, if i can find the ones she likes best i could get them delivered maybe, thats a good one. Thanku. x
yeah there is some really pretty ones out this time of year, i want it special as we thought we were going to lose her a couple of weeks ago as she had pneumonia, but she pulled through, bless. xxx
i know its summer, but it never lasts long in this country so what about some sheep skin slipper boots type things - they are so warm and cosy and very comfortable - when we take my nan out for the day its a struggle to get her to put proper shoes on she lives in them!!
Thankyou for that, im getting some good ideas and i would like to thankyou all, i want it to be special as we dont know how much longer we will have her. Thankyou again. xx
We made a little hamper up for my husband's grandma at a similar age, some little bars of choc, biscuits.individual bottles of wine,(she loved her daily tipple!) nibbles etcetc
I got individual size things where I could as her apetite wasn't huge
Can she get out with a wheelchair ? What about an afternoon out at a large garden centre. The colours and smells would be great at this time of year. Then afternoon tea. Finish with buying a scented plant or rose. Planted in the garden where she can see it. Alternatively there is a company somewhere that will deliver a bunch of flowers every week / fortnight. I can't remember what it's called but they probably have a web site.
If she doesn't get out much a bit of fresh air works wonders.
My mum is only in her sixties but I know that she appreciates my time more than anything.I very often give her a 'voucher' for lunch at our local tea shops or garden centres. Good luck with all our ideas. xx
I never know what to buy my gran but this year my Mum suggested I pay for her to have her hair done. She was dead chuffed and thought it was a highly original idea!
