How about Perplexus? it really is an excellent 3-d maze sport that youthful ones of each age love! it really is gained a lot of awards from father and mom and toy agencies, so it could be an outstanding selection. no longer extreme priced and also you'll order on line from the area below -- watch the video to work out what it really is and the way it extremely works. it really is totally addictive - even to adults! There are 3 variations, Rookie (for youthful youthful ones), unique and Epic (somewhat harder than unique). i'd bypass with unique for her, or perhaps Epic if she's high-high quality at fixing puzzles. a lot of exciting, and he or she will be able to love it. Very unique - I guess none of her acquaintances has it! yet at the same time as they see it they are going to opt for one too! good success.

Everyone loves dried fruit trays. Make sure it has some prunes in the mix.
And if you really don't like the person: A fruitcake.
I love it TJ says buy a retiree a clock. Hahahaha. Older people have nothing but time on their hands, so give them the gift that reminds them of that. How nasty is that?

When my mother turned 60 my sister and I sent out a 'form' letter to relatives and friends of hers asking them to write down their favorite memory, thought, impression of her. We put all the letters we received (along with photographs that some were kind enough to send) in a large album. It took a bit of doing to gather all the addresses but it was a big hit. Tears were shed and it is something that she treasures.

At Hallmark -even some Cracker Barrel gift shops carry them- they have some little booklets that tells about the year in review that run about $5 - I get this and they enjoy reading about days gone by and also you learn more about them because they start telling stories. Could be fun because they usually tell stories that are funny--at least my family does.

Gift certificate for a wonderful massage! Its feels good on old achey joints and muscles, increases circulation, and besides, old people don't get touched very much... We all benefit from being touched. They will love it!

You need to talk with your relatives regarding your "older" relatives desires and needs. See what they say....
