    laura - so sorry to hear about your grandad

    Depending on what your budget is amazon have some nice 'mini hampers' (I'm about to order a chocolate one for MIL -she's 90 and I always get stuck)
    You could do your own and fill it with her favourite choccies plus couple bottles of wine.
    The other year I did an ''elevenses/afternoon tea box'' -shoe box I'd covered full of tea, little preserves, biscuits, crossword books and pen, coaster I'd done in cross stitch of a tea-cup and nice china mug.
    Or you could do a ''pamper basket'' full of beauty stuff, face mask, bath things, candles, plus the wine
    Just an idea -hth:)
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
