[quote=Anonymous]My 80+ mom really liked getting a small fruitcake from Harry & David.  I bought her a tea collection that she requested and added on the fruitcake and it was a hit.  They are more rare now precisely because they are so old-timey.  Just like Victorian ribbon candy and candy sticks used to be when I was a kid.

Here is a company my grandma bought from.  It's still operating:

The best thing I ever got my grandfather was a donation of a spiral binding machine to an elementary school through Donors Choose.

My widowed mother-in-law...some kind of convenient snowblower.  It might have been all electric.

Once I got my grandma a gag gift figurine and she just went wild over it.  It was a solar waving Queen Elizabeth.  So sometimes small funny things are quite cheering.  I nearly bought myself a Squishmallow Flipmallow at the grocery store this year.  It was a green squishy moose stuffed animal that inverts to form a stuffed peppermint candy.  Nobody needs this kind of thing but if you know your recipient's sense of humor, it can be worth it just for one spell of hilarity.[/quote]
