Gift idea for a 103 year old?

Posts: 0 Newbie
You haven't read wrong, my great gran really is turning 103 :eek:
I am the master gift giver especially when it comes to buying for women but she's so ancient any gift from family is the same every year, flowers and books type of gifts. Last year i got her an Ipad which she recycled and gave away as a christmas present :mad:
I was thinking because she is so old she may as well enjoy what is left of life and take some risks! Do you think a sky diving lesson is a good idea?

Yes, or maybe some tickets to a thrash metal gig.The report button is for abusive posts, not because you don't like someone, or their opinions0 -
I think the sky diving lesson is a great idea..
Would Gran be allowed to pack your chute and kick you out of the plane?0 -
She is pretty deaf so that would be a waste of money.summerspring wrote: »Yes, or maybe some tickets to a thrash metal gig.
I've already sky dived and would do it again so if she did recycle my gift again it could go to me and i'd be well chuffedI think the sky diving lesson is a great idea..

Perhaps you could share a Spa day together?0

It gets to a stage where trying to surprise someone is just a waste of time, effort and money.
Just ask her and see if you can accommodate her wish.:huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:0 -
I would suggest - not 'things' as such. Ask her if there's something she would like to see/somewhere she'd like to go, something she hasn't seen and always wanted to.[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Æ[/FONT]r ic wisdom funde, [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]æ[/FONT]r wear[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]ð[/FONT] ic eald.

Lovehoney gift voucher?Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks

Annual subscription to Playgirl magazine?If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0

Why don't you take her on an outing - maybe a Safari Park like Longleat or perhaps a day trip on a canal boat? Not quite as thrilling as skydiving but less likely to end in a fractured hip!
Of course, there's always wing walking...
