You might get away with repeating whatever you bought her for her 79th.
(possibly in bad taste)

You can go down the cliche route: -Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostWhat can you buy a woman for her 80th birthday?
- A newpaper clipping from the day she was born?
- The entire "hit parade" from the charts on her 21st birthday (if they had it then - was that just a 60s thing?)
Or you could just get her something she'll enjoy: -- posh chocolates (maybe in a bag from Harrods or something?)
- a lovely posh shawl
Or is she still fit and active? If she's a funky granny, she'll probably not be looking to the past, but to the future - get her something new and hightech: -
- digital photo frame (and load it up with loads of photos of her family)
- one of those vynal to cd converters and offer to modernise all her old albums (if she has any)?
I wish I'd made more time for my nana before she died - I only had her until I was 15, and I hardly even saw her during the teen years, cause I thought I was too cool
What a nob.
