Present ideas for 80th birthday

Am I a bad person for thinking "on a monthly basis"?

That'd be a monthly pass Shirley.

Get her a year's pass to the bingo.

Hmm thanks all - I wondered about the digital photo frame idea but noone else seems to like it

Naff!

Why not get her Call Of Duty - World At War? Remind her of all those handsome young GIs that were all over the place when she was sweet 16.

Black preferably.

Something about that image is making me giggle.

What can you buy a woman for her 80th birthday?

You can go down the cliche route: -

• 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.

You might get away with repeating whatever you bought her for her 79th.

(possibly in bad taste)
