Grandmother gift idea

My grandma is a hip lady that LOVES fashion jewelry and accessories.  For past holidays, I've given her scarves, cocktail rings, pins, etc.  This year I had planned on giving her a cocktail ring again.... but my grandfather is going to be in the hospital for a few days due to dehydration and a UTI.  She's going to be visiting him every single day.  '

So for mother's day, I'd like to give her something useful for her long days at the hospital but I can't think of anything.  I don't want magazines to weigh down her tote.  And I'm guessing she'll pack her own snacks to have handy.  She'll be taking a bus to the hospital everyday - if that makes a difference.  Any thoughts??

TIA!

Re: Grandmother gift idea

  • Would she use a kindle/nook?
  • My grandparents played gin rummy at the hospital every day.  Gram was ill and could only get through a  few hands; but it entertained them.  Is there a game that your grandparents play?
  • You can give her a beautiful. Hat.. this will surely be an awesome gift.
  • Thanks all!

    I don't know that she's tech savvy enough for a nook (and honestly, that's out of my budget range) but she does read alot - so maybe I should get her a book - something inspirational.  The game idea would be great but I don't think my grandfather would be up for it.  She's not much for hats, a she takes time to "do" her hair everytime she goes out.

  • Both of my grandmas do crossword puzzles all the time, maybe a crossword or other puzzle book?
