If you have an exceptionally nice pic of her -- old or new -- find a pretty frame for it.

Good suggestion, but she wouldn't really want a photo of herself. (I understand that, because I wouldn't want one of me either!) Last year I gave her a photo of her grandchildren in a beautiful frame, and she really loved that.

Perhaps a gift certificate to enjoy a manicure, pedicure, and/or other 'pamperings' at a day spa?

She can even get her hair colored, cut, and/or styled for a refreshed and updated look.
If she hasn't done this already, of course.

They sound like an amazing, extra-blessed couple.

I'd rather not do gift cards/gift certificates, and she has her hair done, manicures, etc. all the time so it wouldn't really be special. She doesn't need an updated look - She stays up to date! That's one of the things that makes this so hard. She really doesn't need anything, and she has a very full life.

Yes, they are an extra-blessed couple. You are so right! Our family is amazingly blessed.

If you have time to get this done, buy a really nice scrapbook. Disassemble it, and send a page to every cousin. Ask them to fill their page with their best, most fond memories with your Aunt and Uncle then return the page to you. Re-assemble the book and present your gift at the party.

I love this (and she probably would too!), but there's not enough time. Thanks!

Audiobooks, if she has enjoyed reading in the past.
A subscription to audible.com

Thanks. She has some audio books, but she prefers actual books and has lots of those.

I appreciate all of the suggestions. This is really a challenge!!

NYC Susan, perhaps a series of floral arrangements? You know, like "flower of the month," only better?

I love this idea, but it's way out of my budget.

If someone did this for me, I would be thrilled!!!

NYCSusan, I think we posted at the same time so I hope you see my post. Thanks.

Yes, I'm reading all of the replies now.

Your idea sounds lovely, but it's not really her taste. Very sweet, though! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

NYC Susan · ‎03-13-2010

I'm so surprised to get so many replies so quickly! I honestly didn't know if anyone would reply at all, so thank you all SO much!

How about a good quality piece of fashion jewelry? Maybe a pin/brooch or earrings or bracelet?

since you cannot take her out to dinner, why not find a private chef in their area and have the chef come in and prepare a gourmet meal for them in their own home?

There's a magazine called Reminisce; it has articles, pics, ads, and lots of fun info about the 40's, 50's, 60's and more. I enjoy it, and it frequently stirs up some fun conversations between my mom and me. Maybe your aunt would like a sub. to that?
