What would be a good gift to take to my 101 year old client?

Scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream.

Freshly pressed cider.

Granny Smith apples and quality Vt. cheddar cheese.

Chocolate covered almonds.

Lemon curd squares.

Thanks. I’ll think that over. Scones sound healthier than cupcakes, but at that age who cares?

My mother, who died several years ago at over 96, found very little joy in life. Meals and edible treats were on the list.

My sister’s mother-in-law is now 102 and lives to be taken out to Legal Seafood in Boston for lobster, swimming in butter.

There are also pies, if they are high-quality. An apple pie and a pint of high quality ice cream is also a nice gift.

@gailcalled I wasn’t gonna respond to this thread but my grandpa’s ladyfriend who is in her late 70’s also loves Legal Seafood (and so do I, their swordfish is literally the most incredible thing in the entire world). :)

I think the suggested food items are an excellent idea. I would also suggest fresh cut flowers might be appreciated.

Food and laughter…that’s all there is, and well… wine and irony, but at 101, it’s all ironic. :-)

I also like the idea of flowers, but would vote for a flowering plant, like a cyclamen, for a much longer shelf life.

@gailcalled beat me to it, as she so often does. I think a low-maintenance flowering plant is a happier present than cut flowers.

A nice bottle of extra-virgin olive oil.

Give them something they’d enjoy. Now, what do they like? Well, you know that more than anyone here, I reckon. :)

If we’re thinking of the same bakery, they have good macarons, which make for a nice gift.

No green bananas!

A coffin!

Sorry, that was a bit horrible…
At that age I think people are happy with just good company, smiles and laughter.
Flowers are nice too, I can’t image women getting sick of flowers no matter how long they’ve lived.

A cologe of photos of her and her family and you if possible.
Mementoes of times together.
Take a camera..take pictures too.
A letter expressing your love of her and how she has made a difference to you and your family for knowing her.
