Birthday present.. help needed

Hi
Hope some-one can help
My Aunt is 90years old this month, can't get to see her, DH not well and it's a 200 mile trip.
Although she suffers with agoraphobia she still lives on her own and is very independent.
Must be something I can post or order online, gift vouchers aren't any use as she can't get out.
Thought maybe flowers,plants, chocolates but not very special or original.
She does love pink roses
Any suggestions please?

    how about a fruit bouquet? There is a lot of internet sites that offer them now so can be quite cheap. Something different?! I got one for my birthday and loved it!

    Could you make her a hamper of some of her favourite things? does she have a favourite tea? you could buy a nice china cup and put some of her favourite teabags in, you could get her a small box of chockys, a couple of small perfume samples or some cream of some kind? you can easily post something like that and the thought will also have gone into it. depending on how heavy the hamper would be you could always use a courier to post it, this would cost around £7 but you may be able to get it sent cheaper by royal mail.
