I need a gift for an older (woman) relative. I will be traveling to see her with only a small carryon so it needs to not be bulky or heavy. She is not very into clothes, doesn't like to cook, and as far as I know, doesn't read much.
If you can come up with an idea you are a genius!

Jewelry is always nice to get. Or perfume.

She really isn't a shopper and I am afraid this will end up going to a granddaughter.

Does she like jewelry like the above poster mentioned?
Does she like to knit ?

NOT perfume.
I don’t mean to be a naysayer but do not gift someone perfume unless you are replacing a signature sent or you went to the mall with them and they something and wanted it but didn’t buy because they couldn’t afford/justify purchase.

Went to Trader Joe’s to get fun, ready made items. Brought some flowers with it too. She loved it the most out of all her gifts

She doesn't care about clothes and accessories.
I doubt she knits.

I LOVE this idea but unfortunately I am flying and can only bring one (small) bag, which also has to hold everything I need.
