Birthday gift ideas for lady in her 60s?

Wow! That's a lot of money to spend on someone you don't know very well - or am I tight?

I must be tight too!

[Scarlet]

What about a scarf or a good pair of gardening gloves.? Though I'm also a "hamper" person! You can fill it with some lovely luxuries for that money.

I assumed for that money it was a group present from everybody at work but maybe I'm tight too!

I like the hamper idea too Lisa! You can get some cheap baskets which look good and do as Lisa suggested, fill with wine, chocs, dog treats, bulbs etc...a mini birthday cake from Mark s.?

Excellent. I've got a 70th birthday coming up for a family member and I love the hamper idea so I shall be doing that one. There are lots of lovely things you could put in one and they don't need to cost the earth if you shop around. I can't afford much so I'm crocheting a scarf as well.

If she is a real doggy lady how about a gift from Nowzad - they are the only rescue centre in Afghanistan and some of the stories are heart breaking. They do really good work with dogs as well as cats and donkeys.

Here's the linl just in case

Other than that my only other suggestion is a fit and flirty 40 year old.

A potted plant like for instance, a lily in flower, that she could have in the house, and then put out into the garden afterwards, plus garden centre vouchers. Can't go wrong with vouchers for a gardener, and it's often nicer for people to make their own choice. What one gardener buys, another may hate, or indeed, already have.

I'd stick with getting her a gardening voucher or some voucher of a kind. That way she can pick her own gift.

That would be my safe option.

I'm guessing that this lady works in a Garden centre. Maybe Gardening Vouchers wouldn't be as special to her as it is to us!

Is this with a view to romance or strictly platonic? Somebody had to ask

Erm haha we are just friends, we are both female and I am engaged haha
We are good friends at work, she is there when I want to chat. She gives me lot of stuff for my kids etc

[4390evans]

Yeah she works in the garden center with me, just doing a different job. The hamper sounds like a canny idea. Ill have a shop around when im in town next

There was me thinking we had a shy bloke looking for guidance on how to woo a lady. My apologies . Just had a look at your blog. Well done
