All About Grandmothers.
Grandmothers, huh?
If your grandmother likes to read, it's easier. I have given my grandmother "Pride & Prejudice" in every conceivable form there is: book, unabridged book, audio tape, DVD starring Colin Firth, DVD starring Keira Knightley, novelization of the Keira Knightley movie. Well no, I didn't give her that. But I would if it existed.
Grandmothers seem to like Jane Austen (coincedentally, so do I). "Persuasion" and "Mansfield Park" are good choices too. When my grandmother, Amita, finished all of the Jane Austen, it was on to Edith Wharton (my favorite author of all time, coincedentally). Then it was modern-day romantic novels like Bridges of Madison County and Cold Mountain.
If books are no good, there are other options. I kind of think the store Crabtree & Evelyn was invented so that young men and women can buy things for elderly women.
Have you tried there? They have really nice hand creams, and my grandmother always complains about her hands being too brittle or chapped all the time. There's one in Rockefeller Center, actually. (You will hate it there, by the way. It's done up like the inside of the ladies house in Arsenic and Old Lace.)
Shawls are also a good option, if your grandmother is always chilly, like mine is.
I got my grandmother this one from Eileen Fisher (great store for gifts for moms and grandmothers). It was even on sale for $79 and comes in a lot of pretty colors.
If you want to give a pricier gift, I think bracelets are nice presents. I personally love charm bracelets, and they're trinket-y enough that I think grandmothers like them as well. This juicy one is only $35, and you can personalize it with charms.

Can I ask what the unabridged "Pride & Prejudiced" contains? Is it like the un-cut version?
yeah, it is. it has a several scenes in which a not-so demure elizabeth bennett gives darcy fellatio.
