My great aunt is in her 70s and has always been incredibly selfless and giving. She is not wealthy, but a very dedicated saver. Every time she catches wind of me going on a trip she sends a thoughtful card and a generous amount of money to “treat myself” as she usually writes.She lived with her sister but has trouble getting around like she used to, so I only get to see her about once per year at Christmas because she lives very far away. I always have trouble figuring out what to get her. I don’t make a lot of money and I have about 10 family members to buy for. Realistically I can only spend about $25 on each person. Because she does not want for anything she is hard to shop for. Anything expensive and she will look confused. Her taste in clothes is very particular, so I hesitate to try lest she be disappointed. She doesn’t want more trinkets, and she is not a movie or book person. The only time she gets to see photos of me is when my cousin who lives in her state gets to show her Facebook. Last year I got her a photo and a really nice frame since we don’t print photos anymore. She loved it! Almost cried. But, my mom and grandma were hurt they didn’t get pictures too, and ended up guilting me into giving them copies right after Christmas, but not of the frame.I’d like to give her something to supplement another photo this year, but since she literally does not want anything I don’t know where to start. Any ideas? via /r/Gifts https://www.reddit.com/r/Gifts/comments/a7yhgd/what_do_i_get_for_the_most_selfless_person_i_know/?utm_source=ifttt
