GIFT SUGGESTIONS FOR MY 88 YEAR OLD SISTER

We just got back from visiting my sister who lives in Florida in her own home.  I would like to send her a thank you gift, and I am looking for suggestions.  She doesn't need a thing.  She's doesn't use electronics, is very particular about her reading material, doesn't need clothing or household items, perfume, etc.  Any ideas?

How about a Collin Street Bakery fruitcake?

Do you have any family members who know her better and may know what kind of things she likes?   I think it should be about somethine SHE likes and only people who know her would know that.  Smiley Happy

Practical stuff like stamps and stuff she uses all the time and maybe can't drive to get out and get them.

Depending on where she lives in FL, how about gift certificate (s) to her favorite restaurant....adding delivery of ordered meals or specialty foods that you know she loves would be nice.

 

If she enjoys music, theater, film, etc., how about tickets to the events she prefers.

 

Cab vouchers if she doesn't drive at night or at all ?

 

A gift certificate to Barnes & Noble....may be preload a Nook or Kindle with her favorite authors...

My vote would be for a beautiful arrangement of flowers.

I just gave someone a box of full size candy bars and a 36 pack of hot chocolate mix. She is set for her sugar rush and warm cocoa for a month.   If your sister has a favorite food or drink, value packs are quick, easy, and always appreciated.
