Have been invited to my friends aunties 100th birthday celebration at the nursing home - quite an achievement! Really like to take a gift but what do you get someone of that age, particularly someone I don't really know very well?
When my Mum was in a nursing home she (or her Carers!) got through copious amounts of shower gel, body spray etc. Mum liked florentyna by Marks And Spencer, reasonably priced and a nice floral fragrance. Or how about a tin of fancy biscuits she could keep in her room for "special" visitors.
