Need to visit an Auntie, so thinking of a present to take her.

She is outside London so something that is London based that she wouldn't normally get would be better, a hamper perhaps? as I am thinking (in my simple mind) older women like that kinda stuff? If so any recommendations or should I look at usual Fortnum and Mason?

Any other suggestions around £50-£100

Hate all the time spent thinking when buying presents!

Age?

Interests?

Would she like something material or an experience?

Would she go to London?

I always default to Jo Malone for this type of gift - older women seem to love comically expensive candles and handwash

There is NOTHING more London than spaffing 75 notes on a candle. People in the regions haven't heard of candles let alone Jo Malone wink

OP - if you are concerned, pop a Tower of London snow globe/picture of Siddique Kahn in with the scented st, that will Lahn-don it up a bit
