i believe she%26#039;ll be in mid-late 70%26#039;s she a wonderful lady and she loves when her grandson and me come see her she lost her husband last year whom she depended on the most the back bone to that family. They worry she may not be round for long and this is something special she deserves, i thought trying to show up although moneys tight for him and i to fly right now..would be a nice gift in itself but if we cant what can we do to tell her we wish we could be there and what kind of gift can we send? If we do make it and see her is bouquet of flowers lovely card maybe picture of us nice even 2 send?? My b/f mom thinks we can just up %26amp; leave but we told her bout our situation they%26#039;re flying ova there %26amp; husband told us dont worry bout tickets. Is it right to let him pay for us too if we cant? we dont want that

Whats a good birthday gift for boyfriends elderly grandma??
Maybe you can make her a beautiful gift basket, I%26#039;m not sure if she likes to get her nails or hair done, but a gift certificate to her favorite place, plus some nice lotions and body washes always seem to be appreciated.





If she likes jewelry, you can go to Macy%26#039;s and buy her a beautiful pin (costume jewelry, not expensive, but it looks nice)





You can also get her an extra cozy pair of pajamas and slippers





I think the idea of giving her a beautiful frame with the picture is a WONDERFUL idea. You can also send her a fruit basket, or they also sell baskets with fresh jams/jellies and english muffins... Look into GIFTS.COM, you can put in your price range and see if there%26#039;s anything in particular.
Reply:Yes, let his parents pay, if it is that important that you are there. Pick out a beautiful shawl, pashmina and a brooch or pin to go on it, try to be meaningful. This won%26#039;t be expensive or heavy to carry with you. Your energy and happiness are what she will cherish the most
Reply:yes...my grandma is 85, I gave her a webtv, its easy to use, easy to see, and great when they have trouble hearing. I think it really helps with the loneliness too... my grandma loves hers!
Reply:Electric heater pad, $100 cash, new sweater or cardigan, gift cards to supplements, new bedsheet set, tonics, or just flowers if they are well off.
Reply:A bible (if religous) or a card. Do not spend a lot of money %26#039;cause they are old and either they got it and can%26#039;t use it, or never got it %26#039;cause they never wanted it.
Reply:If he thinks it is that important for you to go, then let him pay for you. And you should get her something that is very meaningful. You and your boyfriend should sit down together and discuss ideas of what to get her and things that she likes so that you can get even more ideas! Good luck!!
Reply:try some old movies instead - like movies by Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Roscoe %26#039;Fatty%26#039; Arbuckle, Laurel %26amp; Hardy, Abbott %26amp; Costello - even silent film box sets like -

Reply:How about a scrap book, of the generation she has lived. I am sure she has seen her fair share, and raising children.


This is something that EVERYONE can help do. Nice paper, a book, hit the dollar store, and get some old magazines from resale shop, cut out pictures...use your imagination...and it will be a hit, guaranteed.

Reply:Boyfriend pays for the flight. You might pitch in here and there with the expenses. Yes, I see nothing wrong with flowers, card and a picture from ya%26#039;ll. Gr%26#039;ma%26#039;s loves stuff like that. If you attend: shawl, brooch. Gr%26#039;ma%26#039;s loves stuff to keep them warm. Footie-socks; Lap throw; Warm lounging pj%26#039;s; Body powder. I know Red Door body powder is expensive, but I once took care of an elderly bedfast lady who had to have her Red Door body powder applied everyday after bathing. She always smelled so nice. Photo Album with some pictures of ya%26#039;ll for starters in it. Some grannies likes pretty aprons; some more active grannies likes the wind-suits, pants and jacket to match. A nice Bible in large print...even nicer to have her name put on it. Grannies aren%26#039;t hard to buy for. The most are very appreciative. Good Luck!
