Night Elf Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Mom wants to have our Christmas celebration at her house on the 23rd and she lives with my grandmother so that means I have to bring something for her too. This woman has everything she needs. She wants for absolutely nothing. Every Christmas, birthday, and Mother's Day, both my mom and her sister struggle to come up with gift ideas. She doesn't even like plants and flowers. Grandma loves cake. I'm thinking of buying her a special small bundt cake from a specialty store and having them wrap in cellophane with a ribbon. Would that be an okay gift? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I think that's perfect! Can you do it when all of you are there? Then she can share it with everyone, which I'm sure will bring her the most happiness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purpleowl Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I think edible gifts are fabulous for that sort of person. We give my husband's grandmother an order of pears from Harry & David every year. She LOVES them...and tells everyone they are HERS and she will NOT be sharing! :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 That's a great gift unless she has blood sugar issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom25girls Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 FABULOUS gift. We recently had a small, specialty bundt store open near us and we're ALL wanting an excuse to try a cake or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 The store is called Nothing Bundt Cakes. What I was going to buy her was a bundlet which is a small cake. It's big enough for 4 people to have a small piece if you quarter it. I thought about bringing an 8" cake to her but then she would feel obligated to share and would it really seem like a personal gift? I am planning on bringing apple pie. I didn't want to buy her a small cake and then bring a larger one for the rest of us. That seems silly. I want the cake to be special for just her. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie G Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Bundlets are more like large individual servings. For an older person, maybe three tiny pieces. They are awesome! They sell them at our local hockey games and they come in a little plastic container so you can eat a few bites and put it back in the fridge. It's a GREAT gift for an elderly person! They freeze super well, too, in case you can't decide on just one flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Absolutely! Consumables are the best gift for everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Oh good. I worried it would be lame. Last year I gave her a rice pack that you heat up in the microwave and I don't think she understood what it was. There's no telling where it is. I doubt she ever used it.

THAT is the new cake store which opened near us. Now that it's Hive recommended, I just MUST go! LOL! It sounds like a lovely gift. Hint, hint if any of my five daughters are reading here...I'll share...perhaps (YEAH, RIGHT). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Absolutely. We all switched to buying grandma sweets and flowers when she was around 85. She already had more nightgowns then she will ever use. She had already given us most of her jewelry so she could see us enjoying it. What was left? She is 105 now and she still loves receiving her favorite donuts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
