Need gift ideas for an 87 year old!

What do I get an 87 year old lady? She doesn't really go out any more and her family is having a surprise birthday party next week! Any ideas?

A carton of cigarettes and a big bottle of vodka.

I don't smoke or drink now, but man, when I hit 87 I am going to start doing both!!

But in all seriousness, you could get her something lovely like an ornament, some flowers or maybe something edible.

A gift card to the beauty parlor for her hair to be done or a basket . I had to get a 90 yr old woman a gift and did a basket from Sandlers, she loved it and cried when it came!

A gift card to a supermarket or drug store that she shops at.

Does she have any favorite Authors? My friends 92 year old grand mother loves to read and she loves Nora Roberts....So I know she would always appreciate a new book.

A nice bathrobe and nightgown set in eyelit cotton. Something from the Miss Elaine collection - Lord and Taylor sells them. I have purchased them for my grandma, mom and MIL. Each one of them specifically requested it after I got it for my mom one year.

I like the robe idea. since she doesn't go out much, I am sure she will use it. maybe some slippers to go with it. I think that is a really nice gift!

A gift certificate to a restaurant and offer to take her. That's what we do with my Grandma.
