Last year I gave my then 83 year old MIL a gift to "Reminisce" magazine, she loved looking at all the old-timey pics and reading the stories. It was a gift that kept giving all year long.

Plus it shows you were listening when she said she enjoyed it the first time, so I think it is a good choice. Consumables are definitely the best gifts. This time I sent some Royal Riviera pears from Harry and David. They are the most freaking awesome pears you will ever taste (Mom agreed)! I’m not a mom, but I’d love a GC to Burke Williams!
