    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Morning Craftgranny

    My Mum is 91 so I was thinking about what she likes.

    How about some nice hand lotion or nice wipes, a plant, real flowers, some nice biscuits, like shortbread or similar? An item of jewellery like a brooch?
    A photo album with family photos from her past? A bookmark if she likes reading? A scarf? A special cup?

    If I think of anything else I'll post it when I get in from work.

    Brilliant all of them but the red is stunning.

    I have been asked to make a pamper cake for a 90 odd year old lady who lives in a nursing home . Her daughter said she can't use bubble bath or shower gels but moisturising lotions are fine and some chocs but anyone got any ideas of anything else i can include . The lady is paralysed too. Not much to go on but all i have, any ideas would be most welcome .

    They are brilliant Craftygranny! Love the mens pamper cake!
    The square pamper cake is really good too, I haven't tried to do one of those but I might be tempted now :D
