Hi

I was thinking of doing a hamper for my nan for christmas.

She loves books!!!

I always find her really hard to buy for!!!

I was woundering if any of you could help me to get some ideas together please?

    WHSMITH had some book type gadgets, things that hold the book open at bottom and lights that clip on the top.

    Bookmark?
    Note book where she can write reviews of books she likes
    Cushion or slippers to cuddly up with
    Nice basket where she could keep few books she has on the go in neat and tidy?

    You can get great quality books in charity shops and you also get so much more for your money. My mum regularly takes my nan a bag load of romantic fiction to my nans.

    How about a fleecy blanket to help keep your nan warm while she reads, Tesco has some cream and red ones in at the moment and they are only £2 each.

    Some biccies or chocolates to nibble while she reads?
