Am going to a birthday party next week. The lady who is having the birthday will be 100 years young!
Any suggestions for a different "token" present for such a lady? She has all her faculties (was regularly going out and playing bingo until this time last year).

She lives very comfortably with her son & family - a proper old "east-end fambly"!0

I vote for a good tipple too, at that age she might care more for practical things than a coin or a paper. Just my view no offence intended!!!0

Trouble is, the "talkies" hadn't been invented when she was a teenie!!0
