Any English women here? Trying to think of some gifts.

My English sister-in-law (who lives in a nice coastal California town) is having an 80th birthday later this month. She is a young-minded 80 and stays active with docent shifts at the art museum, exercise class, bridge, girlfriends, etc. I adore her (don’t know why she’s stayed with my brother so long 😉) and want to give her some fun things.

She loves art (no art books though, she’s has plenty, and she has access to museums through docenting), dogs, fun jewelry, and has a great sense of humor so kitschy things aren’t out of the question.

I found a wonderful picnic basket and here’s what I have so far:

Bottle of bubbly

Two adorable dog dish towels

Small watercolor pad

Travel set of paint

Brushes

McVites (?) chocolate digestives

She loves sample sets so I was thinking of perfume or makeup

Something in the jewelry category

More food items?

I have another ten days to gather items.

Thank you!!
