Boots have the perfect range for her...and it's easy to remember.
P.S. It's not a hair colouring product 8-}

More than 'Skin Deep'
it'll make her pinker and prouder than previous
He wants some money for Peach Dove and Understanding
hmm, a Practical Present
May not be welcomed by all.
"Are you saying you think I need this?" is a possible response.
Best ever dim husband to wife present - (from my time in steelworks)- one of the guys bought his wife an iron for Christmas. "Well, she'd been saying she needed one", was his feeble defence.
a Moby
I need a cheap and very easy to operate pay-to-go mobile phone for my FPO (The Mum), she's struggling with one of my old Windoze Orange mobys. Hell! I struggled with it too. A Clamshell model that just does phoning people, none of this interweb or txtng is required, she just wants to call me or a cab. She's 89 in May and would give most of us a fright at the way she gets about.
Phones
Have you looked at the phones made for the elderly?
this one's looking TOTP at the mo
looks easy to operate and not too flash, ideal for The Mum (and me) although I'm worried about the 'vibration' option - she's liable to leave it in her (M&S) shopping bag with a pint of milk and we'll be drinking curds and whey for weeks
thankee :D
Nokia
I'd suggest the Nokia 1101

Easy to use, buttons not tiny
Molly (The Mum)
is not elderly, I'd get battered within an inch if I suggested that, but many thanks yer linkys shall be perused
Whoops
Sorry - my mother's 77 and continually refers to herself as elderly, in a self-deprecating fashion.
@ Rank
I clickied that link and checked the price option - 5 more clicks later I got to a version that hadn't been discontinued. This is a serious business Mr. Badjin , please try and keep current. ;D

I once bought the GLW
an ashtray.
It was a joke alright. I bought her many other things as well. This one was an airfreshner/ashtray combined & was plastic. It was for the bathroom 'cos at the time she had a bloody ashtray in every flipin faggin room *cough*. Now come Christmas, as she opens her pile of pressies, she will shake Santa's parcel and say "it better not be an ashtray..."
Did I mention this was 28 years ago. IT WAS A JOKE! Geddit?
Like the Billy Connerly Cappucino Joke
You could always get it mixed up and ask for a Dr Elvis Costello
