I know we've gone through gifts for (I'd better not say elderly, my MIL would kill me) more mature folks in the past. I remember saying that stamps were a good gift. My MIL has everything she needs, but she has a lot of car trouble. What do you think about a AAA membership? She has an older vehicle and I think they have a pretty good reputation for coming out for a driver in need. I haven't checked prices and I'm on a budget. Still, it would probably beat another iron...
