What to buy a lady for her 90th birthday

My nan has being saying "don't get me anything" since the mid 80's. A sentiment roundly ignored by every since the mid 80s. I've been buying here a mixture of marks and spencers jumpers and cardigans (she feels the cold) and cuddly toys (the largest of which I took home tied to the pillion seat of a motorcycle....). That and fridge magnets.

On her 90th, we went out with a big meal with all the family (including the complete set of grand children and great grand children), her circle of friends from the local day care centre, and neighbours.

How about a charm bracelet. You could pick charms that mean or represent something meaningful to her and your family. Or a lovely dressing gown and pjs/nightdress?

when My Mum was 90 she had the usual flowers & hairdressers vouchers.
We had a buffett at her house but that year my husband had a red MG sports car. So we sat her in the front with a cap on her head to take a picture and he decided to take her for a run around the block. We laughed so much at the surprise on her face but she had rosy cheeks when she came back.
A month ago she was 95 my brothers and sisters took her to the local hotel in the afternoon for tea & scones which was all she can manage now as not in tip top health. but we had a lovely time and as she doesn't go very far now it was just enough.
