      You might get away with repeating whatever you bought her for her 79th.

            You can go down the cliche route: -
            • A newpaper clipping from the day she was born?
            • The entire "hit parade" from the charts on her 21st birthday (if they had it then - was that just a 60s thing?)


            Or you could just get her something she'll enjoy: -
            • posh chocolates (maybe in a bag from Harrods or something?)
            • a lovely posh shawl


            Or is she still fit and active? If she's a funky granny, she'll probably not be looking to the past, but to the future - get her something new and hightech: -
            • digital photo frame (and load it up with loads of photos of her family)
            • one of those vynal to cd converters and offer to modernise all her old albums (if she has any)?



            I wish I'd made more time for my nana before she died - I only had her until I was 15, and I hardly even saw her during the teen years, cause I thought I was too cool What a nob.

              Black preferably.

              Something about that image is making me giggle.
