Unsure of what to get my grandmother…

NAI’ve been searching the ‘net for Christmas ideas so I can figure out what to give my grandmother. It’s hard to shop for her because she has specific taste and while she appreciates everything she receives, that doesn’t mean she’ll actually find a use for it. So to avoid getting her the typical and traditional gifts of clothing or knick-knacks to keep around the house, I’ve actually been looking into grandfather clocks. She recently got rid of one that she’d had for years, while it was worth quite a bit of money – it was also in poor condition so she decided to bite the bullet and say goodbye to it. So I figure I’ll poke around for different clocks and I came across Howard Miller clocks, they’re gorgeous quality clocks that really make a statement in every room they’re in. I wouldn’t want to replace the mantel clocks though, the areas surrounding her fireplaces are typically done in a very traditional Italian style that everyone could appreciate. But after that, I’m unsure of what route to take. Home decor could always be an interesting gift but you have to make sure it matches the rest of the decor in the house or there really is no point in buying something for her.

So I started thinking outside of the box and realized that she was going to be redoing her deck this upcoming spring while they’re fixing her underground pool. She always has it decorated nicely out there so naturally she’s always in search of gorgeous accessories to create the whole look and feel of the backyard. So I figured I’d look into an Indoor/Outdoor Pool Clock. It’s water-resistant and can be mounted to a solid surface. It’s battery operated but I think it’d be cooler if there were a solar powered option, but that’s the “green” side of me kicking in. Either way I’ve been doing my homework before buying a clock for my grandmother so hopefully I’ll be able to find something interesting.
