Gift help please!

What do I buy my Grandma for her 90th birthday. She is not active or social, she is pretty isolated in her living arrangement. But I want something more special than a pair of slippers or something.

And I need it by Friday, lol. I suck. Price range: $100

Do you have a Hallmark store nearby? I always get little trinkets from them when I shop for H's great grandmother who is in the same age range. Hallmark kinda has the old lady charm down.

I think I know where one is- good idea!

Yep, Hallmark is a great place. I've also got things like bath and body products, favourite candy/cookies, and scratch tickets. My grandma is 96 and in the same type of situation. Nice stationary or a package of various occasion cards are a good idea if she likes to write cards to people.

This is kinda cheesy but you can take a family photo and have it made into a quilt or throw. I did this for my husbands grandma and she loved it.

Is she religious?

For my grandma's 80th, the grandkids pitched in to buy her a beautiful pearl rosary

Not overly religious, and Jewish, so that would be a no go lol but thanks:)

What about buying her a digital photo frame and loading it with pictures of the family?

For my grandma's 90th, I bought her a few sessions to get her hair set and took her to get her nails done since she couldn't take herself to do it anymore. I liked that it was useful and didn't take up space in her tiny living space AND that I was able to spend a little more time with her.

I wish this was an option, because she would LOVE it. But she is not local to me and lives in an isolated area where she can't get out much. But thank you.
