It was always hard to figure out what to get Grandma for Christmas. She wasn't into collecting, she didn't need "stuff," and heaven forbid you be extravagant. One year we figured out that that she really enjoyed the Reader's Digests. The articles weren't overly long. There was a variety of material, and better yet, it came in a large print version that made it easier for her to read. (Honestly right now, I'm even beginning to enjoy the large prints on things - time to see the eye doctor!) For a reasonable price, you could get a one or two year subscription and she'd be content. Plus, by the time you'd get around to visiting The Farm, there would be a nice stack that you could peruse between shelling pecans or sitting and rocking during all the relatives' visits.
