90th birthday present ideas please

Thank you all. DVDs ordered together with a lux afternoon tea at home experience. Will be perfect.

We bought my Aunt a rather nice wrought iron garden bench for her 90th birthday. She spent many a sunny hour upon it until she was 103! I now have it just outside my front door in a sunny spot. Happy memories of a well loved Aunt

You can sometimes pick up lovely costume jewellery brooches in charity shops then you could buy a small box to put it in.

Flowers and nice chocs are always welcome and what about a pretty brooch. Ladies of that era always use to wear them on coats and jackets. That would ensure she has something nice to keep.

Many thanks. She is not a reader or writer or has ever been a deep thinker so I think the afternoon tea option plus a couple of boxed sets might be the way to go. It is difficult to know what to do. She’s having a small tea party to make a day of it so that’s something.

I imagine the only thing she would value is nothing... but a bit of time. Take her out for tea or lunch, as said above. I am only 70 and the last thing I want is more 'things/stuff'.

If you want a gift for your aunt to unwrap (as opposed to a tea, or another "treat out"), then does she ever send cards or letters? If so, then perhaps a nice stationery set (and/or some attractive blank cards) with a couple of pens and some books of stamps? (The latter are quite pricey, so they might be welcomed? Especially if your aunt will be sending out "thank-you" letters!)

My DM is older than your aunt and we take her out for afternoon tea on her birthday. I’ve bought her a cardigan and the new John le Carre for her next birthday. She likes box sets which she can re-watch, chocolates and martini.

If you have access to photographs of her over the years you could make up a Photobox style book for her. Our daughter did one for my 60th - pictures from my birth right through to 60 - and 4 years on I still love looking at it.

Are you able to take her to a nice cafe for high tea or a more modest lunch or morning tea?
