85 years old, diabetic.
I am totally at a loss
Any ideas at all?
Doesn’t do crafts
Complains about restaurants

237 that sounds like a really good idea - thanks

That was awful, Red... why bother about a gift ....she obviously doesn't appreciate anything you give her.

Rather than just flowers as a one off you can find companies that send a bouquet every month for 6 months or a year.
Buy her a plot in the churchyard, then you can say next year... You are not getting a present you didn't use the last one bought you...... The old ones are still the best... I think it was Les Dawson or Bob Monkhouse originally

Hi redhells

85 and you have rels OLDER than you ?

Maybe a store voucher and she can pick and pay to have whatever delivered. It’s her choice then x

[Buenchico]

Tickets to a show, perhaps?

[elliemay1]

A voucher for the store where she does her weekly shopping

[elliemay1]

Sorry bobbie, just seeing yours now!

Does she read? Maybe a selection of paperback books. Or the latest celebrity biography.

Or rather than flowers, a pot of spring bulbs and primulas that will last longer and flower again next year.
