What can I get for my Grandma's 80th birthday?
a basket full of yummies, in addition to some useful things, maybe postage stamps and stationary if she still writes, a unique pen....little gift baskets are so much fun for the elderly. my 82-yr. old mother-in-law loves things that we no longer think about, colored pencils, 'fridge magnets, cheese and cracker packets, different kinds of jellies and spreads. i know this may sound a little frivilous...but your grandmother probably has everything she'll ever need or want, and taking the time to pick out a little of this and that and pulling it together for her will show her that you put some thought into what she likes. craft items are wonderful as well, if she's into that. an 80 yr. old wants something they can use, not pack away in a closet. commemorative things are nice, but not useful, and life is short!
Reply:Get everyone in the family to write a story about a special memory, funny story or how much your grandmother has meant to them and have all of the stories typed up and put into a nice folder or made into a little book for her.You will need to get everyone involved, aunts, uncles, cousins, sister, grandchildren ect., you will need some time to get this together so get started!
Reply:My family got my great grandma that turned 85 a money tree. Just get a branch decorate it with money tied on with colorful string. Put it in a nice flower pot maybe with her favorite candy or even coins at the bottom. She always needs money.
Reply:buy her a ticket to go somewhere special and close to home she can get to in a day so you and her could spend time together because that would be priceless
Reply:When my Nanna turned 80 we bought her a record player - it meant she could re-live all the old memories of when my grandad was still alive - the songs they used to listen to together and things, only she could no longer play. It really made her day. Choose something that enables her to re-live the fondest memories of when she was younger, more mobile etc, and help to make her day really special. Don't go for something obvious - really let her know you put thought into it and how much you love her.

Reply:At that age people really like cards. Be sure to pick a special one that captures your feelings and write a personal note inside. You could get her a basket full of little items. Postage stamps, magnifiying glass, book of poems or inspirational thoughts, snack food, hand lotion. powder etc. She'll be happy to be with her loved ones.
