A conundrum - cracker filler for ..

earthmother

An 80 year old lady, who doesn't like sweet things to eat, has showers not baths (so bath bombs and most smellies are out), and has no particular interests or hobbies.

I have a £1 budget for each cracker 'novelty'.

I've been scanning the shops and ebay now for a fortnight and got nowhere - not a spark of inspiration - help!

Wilkos had some Original Source shower gel minatures 25p BOGOF - but this was a couples of weeks ago.
Or Morrisons have a good range of jam/chutney minatures - also about 25p.
Or buy a plain white hanky and embrioder her initals on it - old people love things like that!
That's all I can come up with at the minute.

How about one of those trolley coins on a keyring?

A scratchcard?

a pen? or maybe nice comb for her handbag?

Thank you all - I have a few ideas there to go on

She's not the easiest person to buy for anyway - her present is always the most difficult as she's one of those people who has no enthusiasm for anything if asked, but will grumble like anything afterwards if she didn't get something she likes

If she doesn't like the cracker, I can see it going straight in the bin like any other shop-bought one (and, we suspect, some pressies over the years) - but hey, at least I know I and the kids made an effort.

a small diary??
photo of the kids keyring type size - find them in the pound shop
i taught my nan to play sudoku at age 86 - roll a few sheets up in the cracker and teach her
good luck
