How about some gift ideas? Grandfather turning 80...we have no idea what to get him?
Answer
Happy 80th Birthday to your Grandfather! Wow!!
A scrapbook may be a good idea. If you can get pictures of him through out his life, you could "interview" him and include his memories and thoughts and stories. You could also get stories from other members of the family to include. Or instead of making it a scrapbook of his life, you could make one of his cherished family members from when he was young. Either way, it's the stories and memories are what will truly make this a very special gift.

My Uncle is turning 80 in October and I'm desperate for gift idea's. When his wife turned 80 earlier this year, I sent her a huge Edible Arrangement and it was a big hit. I cannot possibly send him the same thing and steal her thunder. He is a diabetic dialysis patient, so no cookie bouquet.
Any suggestions you have for a unique, good quality gift would be appreciated!
Answer
I have been on dialysis. It is incredibly boring. If your uncle stays awake during dialysis (a lot of patients sleep during most of it), then I'd suggest something he can do during dialysis. If he likes to read, then maybe a book by his favorite author, or a subscription to a favorite magazine.. Or if he is cold during dialysis (most people are) then maybe a customized blanket that you can get at Walmart/other stores w/ family pictures.
He could still have an edible gift; it just needs to be dialysis and diabetic friendly. Here is a link to some of those (please note that you can change it to see the other food categories like snacks)).

You could ask the crafty people in the family to make a scrapbook of new and old family pictures, complete w/ names/locations/dates.
If he likes movies, a movie gift basket of his favorite movie, dialysis friendly snacks and a gift card to rent more movies might work.
