90th Birthday Present?

It's my Great Aunts 90th birthday at the end of the month. I have no idea what to get her, at 90 there can't be many things you need but I want to get her something more significant than flowers. Any sensible ideas would be greatly appriciated.

90th Birthday Present?
I would find out if there are any books she remembers with fondness from her younger years and then see if you can find it online at a used bookstore.



One summer when I was injured and had to stay in bed, there was a book I read over and over with a very likable heroine in it. I never forgot that book and a few years ago I found it online. It is a treasure that I will enjoy each time I read it as it brings back so many memories.



Maybe you could go and take pictures of places that were significant to her through her life. Houses she lived in, schools she attended, churches she went to, friends houses from back then... You could make a nice booklet or a picture out of all of them in a frame.



Even to give her attention, take her out to dinner, would be a nice gesture.



If she is homebound, hire a stylist to come in and do her hair and give her a manicure.
Reply:Your welcome. I think YOU are very nice and considerate to think of your great Aunt's birthday.



All the best to you! Report It
Reply:A lifetime membership to just about anything.



At first it sounds cheeky, but think about it...it'll show great optimism and that could be a fun thing too. If she's a good old gal, I bet she'd love it luv!
Reply:You can put together a photo album using pictures of her family from the past and present. You can borrow photos from other family members and copy them at a copy center and they come out looking great in the album.
Reply:Make her up a little photo album of all the family, Or you could get her a Crucifix, or a lovely locket!
Reply:Ok, heres the best possible present to get her.

Buy a calendar, and write every single relatives birthday on it. Then buy that number of birthday cards, and adress each one to the relative. Write down the date one week before each birthday where the stamp goes, and leave the envelope open. Then stack the envelopes in order chronologically, nearest date on top.

Now your aunt will know on what date to send Grandson 'Billy' his card, and all she has to do is sign it and stamp it.

Saves her time, and her Arthritis having to write out each address.



Go ahead give me my points. Im like Miss Manners on this one.
Reply:WOW ! Yes this definately deserves something special. I think a lovely meal at the place of her choice is appropriate - that`s if she`s still able to get out and about. If not, why don`t you just ask her what she wants ? You`d be surprised - they usually DO want something ! Not long before my late mother died i asked her " if you could have something - anything - what would it be ?" At first she was all - "oh i don`t need anything love...." But then she said she would love a day at the sea !

SO OFF WE ALL WENT......................BRILL !!
Reply:My grandad is 94 so I know how hard this is, we always get him new clothes, although he says its daft as he doesn't think he has many years left... but at least he looks nice! Its his birthday in April and I am getting him a new set of bath mats for his bathroom as he has just had it decorated. I also made him a hamper of one portion things, like sponge puddings , little jams etc, he loved it as he lives on his own.
Reply:Maybe make her a collage of pictures of all her family and frame it :]
Reply:I think the best thing you could do is to spend some time with her. Take her out to eat. Take her to get her hair done. Those are things that someone like her would like
Reply:How Cute. I reckon a beautiful portrait of you. Or find an old photo of herself when she was young. buy a nice frame and frame it. Good Luck
Reply:Hello, was going to say I just asked about 70th birthday ideas for my Mum and got some great answers, have a look at mine if that helps! Also, my family really enjoy taking people to the seaside for special treats, we've done it a few times now. The first time was in the summer and it was really lovely, even though the beach was stony we had great fun and it was lovely to spend time together without any distractions. The second time we took fish and chips and a bottle of wine, bliss! I do also think it's a good opoprtunity to spend time together, before my Nan died I loved hearing her stories and she really valued having someone to talk to, so try that too - I'm sure she'd appreciate that more than anything else and you'll learn a lot about who who she really is - ask her about her first boyfriend! Have fun either way, good luck!

Hope this helps
Reply:My mom turns 90 soon and her favorite things are things to eat...coffee cake (really good ones), or candy. If she needs financial help you could pick up the cost of utilities one month, or take her out for dinner a couple of weeks after the party to give her yet another thing to look forward to. My mom LOVES going to the casino...take her to a garden to let her spend time among the spring flowers...spending time is important...

You could help her go through her closet or drawers to straighten and pair things up.

Enjoy this special time...

Reply:best and the best thing no gift just u stay with her whole day and try to keep all the people whom she love and like may be thier son daughter grandchildrens just for one day that will be the best gift for her and from ur side and lots lots lots of love
Reply:Give your aunt yourself. You sound like a loving person. Most 90 year old people love to talk and reminisce on the past. Bring pictures and wait on her for the time she is with you. Listen to her and let her tell you, her stories. That gift is so valuable that diamonds would not equal your special gift of really loving your Great Aunt.
