When my gran was 90, the family put together a scrap book for her, with pictures of her throughout the years and also the family growing up.

We had a surprise party and had a guest book which went to gran after the party.

She ended up with some lovely memories both of the day and her life.

How about a nice fleecy throw or rug for her knees, a beautful comfy cushion or name a rose after her. How about a visit from a mobile hairdresser?
My lovely MIL was 85 recently and the whole family got together for lunch at a nearby hotel that had easy access. MIL was thrilled and treasures photos from that event.

I know someone who got her mum a very posh hand embroidered silk handkerchief for her 90th.
I think a little party would be nice, some kind of experience will probably mean more at 90 than 'things'

When my grandpa was 90, one of his favourite presents was a beautiful photo frame with a picture of the family in. He was also given a birthday party by my mum (his only child) that he initially "didn't want to go to because he didn't want a fuss". Hmm.......... he didn't stop talking about it because he'd had such a great time!!!

It is difficult to buy presents for elderly people because they usually don't want or need much, a visit, a meal out if they are fit enough and photographs of loved ones always go down well.

Afternoon tea in a posh hotel

Friend organised this for her Mum and her friends with a limo to take them there, they were thrilled with it although I would point out that limo's aren't the easiest thing to get in and out of

My bf's nan was 90 last year and I bought her a brooch - she really liked it.

Many thanks to all of you for some good ideas.
I like all of them, even the strippergram, she is the type of person who would get great fun from that, not at all stuck up.
A nice soft throw or cushion and some family photographs sounds good.
Maybe a good bottle of whisky as she likes a wee dram before she goes to bed.
Her daughter has got the party all sorted. Going to a nice hotel for a meal.
Looking forward to it in a couple of weeks time.

My great grandma on her 90th came to visit and I let her have a go on my swing (I was about 6 or 7) There's some great pictures of her swinging away.. hehe.

For her 100th we got her a nice album of pics..
