A few years back we went to the 90th bday party of DH's aunt. Much more typical affair (no root beer).
I got her a little gold angel pin, in a card. We were going with BIL and SIL who are BIG on presents. SIL was wrapping big present when we got to their house and informed us "This is from all of us" meaning her, BIL, DH and Me as well as SIL who was not there.
It was a carousel horse on a pedestal, about 18" tall. Just another dust collector.
Really, is that what a 90 y.o. woman needs?
Haven't we all read many,many times in Dear Abby what makes a thoughtful gift for an elderly person?? And tchotchkes ain't it.
