When people become old they don't really want much of anything.

Save yourself some money, Mr Emd.

How about a boiled sweet?.....or, if you really want to push the boat out, a whole bag of Werthers Originals.

They both like Werthers Originals  Wonder if they do a gift set

No need to be over-generous.

Sounds daft but food. Consumables are appreciated. You're not interested in buying something quality that'll last you 30 years, or some antique that'll appreciate in value when you're 98 years old and have a bad hip - but some lovely fudge, that cake that you never buy from M and S because 'ooh it's too nice for me' etc... tends to be well received.

Yes. Good idea. I have a 90+ mother in law who wants/needs nothing. Good food & company go a long way to satisfying her.

 A tin of bluebird toffee.......if it's still around.

They can put on a comedy act when it sticks to their false teeth.
