Need help in what gift buying.

I'm at a loss in what to get 2 of the most MISERABLE human beings for Christmas. One is in a wheelchair and she is just so miserable and the other is her sister who is also her caretaker who is also miserable. Neither has ever been married or with a man for all I know. They never leave the house or go anywhere.

I've never had to get them anything before but this year, they have decided to join us for the holidays (SHOCKER!) so I'd like to get them each a little something.

Thanks!

how are these people related to you?
they sound like older people so here are some of my suggestions...
go into kmart, walmart basket sections and look for either a coffee like basket, or knotts berry farm type basket.
Food is always good...if u know what they like.
Maybe a book?
music?

Books, Music, DVD- those are good generic gifts. Maybe something from Sephora for either one.

ETA: Maybe perfume?

Re: Need help in what gift buying.

I have a disabled friend and she uses bath/shower gels instead of soap, because she doesn't have the dexterity to hold on to the soap for long, and it is tough to recover if she drops it. Maybe shower gel or bubble bath would be a good gift for the one woman?

Maybe a large bottle of wine for the hostess of the gathering as well? Chat Icon

My MIL is hosting the gathering so I have her covered already ;) and apart from her gift, we are bringing a case of champagne.

I was thinking about something from bath and body but I would hate for her to break out in a rash again lmao

What about the bath accessories - like the long sponge-thing with the loops at each end, back brush, pumice, that kind of stuff?
