I bought a porcelain doll and made a special dress and hat. I gave it to Hazel, she was about 90 y.o. and she cried. "That is the first doll I ever got in my life. You could have heard a pin drop at that party. That doll had a special place on her bed after that.

i think the idea of a monthly gift (i.e. fruit, flowers, candy, books, etc.) is great. a continuing present all year long. i'm sure that at her age she doesn't really need anything more to dust, clean or feed. i once got chocolate of the month and couldn't wait for the next month.
