Gift suggestions pleeease

DH's aunt is always the last one on my list bc I never know what to get her. Her birthday is on Christmas so I usually buy her something small for Christmas and then a birthday present. She lives alone, doesn't cook, lives in what was her parents' house and it's pretty packed with stuff. I'll take any and all ideas! She likes TV and movies (I don't follow current movies at all) and all things snoopy.

Does she have Wifi? How about an Amazon Firestick?

Is that similar to the Roku stick? I'm honestly not sure. I know she has Netflix but not sure what she uses. She not a techy person at all (no smartphone, won't use a digital camera,etc)

Tea drinker? A nice tea set in a wooden box with an assortment of teas. Slippers and bathrobe. Adult coloring books with nice pencils.

I think it's similar. There are some Amazon exclusive series on it. If she can navigate Netflix, she can navigate this. You just plug it in and voila. In fact, Netflix is an app on it. She might like it! You could always include the gift receipt.

If she's already streaming Netflix it means she has some sort of a streaming device already that she is using so the Amazon Firestick would be redundant. The Roku and Amazon are the same thing, they allow you to stream music, TV, and movies from Netflix, Pandora, HBO, Spotify, Showtime, etc. etc. etc. Chat Icon

Not really, she could be just streaming from a smart TV. We have one, and also have a Firestick.

What about a gift card to munchery? You get to choose from their daily menu and the food is delivered to you chilled- all you have to do is heat and enjoy- This might be good especially if she doesn't cook.

I always forget about the Smart TV, we never use the features on our TV, we have a Roku box and a Roku stick that we use instead.

Swarovski has annual ornaments each Christmas- a star, a Christmas ball and an angel- they all have the year on them so maybe you could buy one of them and start a collection for her tree if she puts one up/decorates it.
