You described me. (except maybe the sailing, and I would love to drink wine but I can’t. )
You didn’t say what your relationship was. That makes a difference.
For me, something that showed you thought about me would be great. How are you at writing? A poem or a song would be nice, or even a letter expressing your sentiment. If you can’t write, you might have someone help you. You could say, “I commissioned this piece just for you.”
At my age, I really don’t want to collect any more useless baubles, I’m picky about my candle sents, my perfume and my bubble bath, and I really care most about the relationships in my life. That’s not so say that I don’t like gifts, it’s just that my motivation is different now. I get pleasure knowing that someone took the time to think of me, to honor me. When I was younger, it was about getting the gift, now it’s about receiving the heart of the giver.
