Shes mid 60. Unmarried. No friends. Hates everyone. Says flowers are a waste cause they die. No clothes I have ever bought her does she like, even if she picked them and I bought them later. Also we live in different states.

How about a restaurant gift card to a major chain (like Olive Garden) that they would have in her city? Or a gift card to a department store that is easy to find in a mall like J.C. Penney? Does she enjoy movies? A gift card to a major theater chain like AMC would be a winner. Since you live in different states, why not make a small photo album with pictures of you and the rest of the family for her? And don't forget to call her on her birthday. Even if she's grumpy, it's still a nice thing to do. Some people are just complainers. I wouldn't take it personally. I feel a little sorry for her. Wonder what made her so bitter?

Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:
Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two and family would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!
The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.
Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.
Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.

baking if you know what she likes, maybe just spend time with her or do some gardening or housework for her, draw a picture or make her a cup of coffee.

I think it's time to get to know her because our grandparents aren't around forever.
