    Old films I meant from her youth or with stars she loves etc.

    I'm here stealing ideas for my elderly relatives too!

    But here's my contributions:

    Pay for her to have her hair done regularly. Maybe a taxi to take her to the salon too.

    A painting of a place that she particularly likes or remembers.

    A bird table and bird bath - if she likes our feathered friends that is.

    A bunch of flowers every month delivered to her house?

    Good luck. :)
