Folks at this stage of life (like me!) have enough "stuff". So I would look for a gift of any kind of service to make life easier--like a house cleaning from a local reliable service, a full service car wash, perhaps a yard cleanup or mowing, a mani/pedi, a massage, etc. whatever you think fits her lifestyle. Gift cards to restaurants or a LQS would be great too.

I also quilt for free for friends & relatives. They often bring me a small gift, but if they would clean (even dust!) while I quilt, that would be stupendous!!! Or do a couple loads of laundry. Or cook a whole meal, even with my groceries. I hate to cook, and for some reason my husband wants to eat EVERY DAY.

I am 61 and if I were your friend....and lived in a house... I'd love help with yardwork. Mowing, raking leaves, weed-eating. I would even enjoy receiving a rose bush or something perennial so I wouldn't have to plant every year.

Find out if she would like help with some of her UFOs or cutting out a project for her. Mani/pedi I would make sure she would like one before making that gift, not everyone wants one. If she is alone you could make some extra at dinner and take over a few frozen home made meals. Or offer to help her do some organizing in her seing room or other room that she has been putting off.

I love all your suggestions. I am 65 and anything that "has to be done" could be done by someone else as far as I am concerned. No gift certificate for me except for a restaurant so I would not have to cook loll...
