If she's deskbound, what about one of those wibbly wobbly things that work using light (best in sunlight but works with nearly any amount of daylight).
We've got a few shops selling some cute ones, flowers, small animals etc.
Or, does she use a computer - there are quite a few USB gizmo's around - like keyboard vacuums, mini fans etc. I bet you'll find something like this from Poundland/Wilkinson/B&M type shops.

Well I've started putting my little hampers together. Bought a few wicker baskets, wrap, bows etc off eBay and m going to do one for my mum, one for dad and a joint one for OHs Nan and grandad.
My dads is basically complete. I thought od write here what I've put in it in case anyone is looking for ideas as I know men are ridiculous to buy for:
Shower gel, shaving foam, chilli chocolate and a hot and spicy recipe book (loves cooking and spice!), a little Baileys mini, a puzzle thing by guiness world records, a coaster with photo of me, sis and him, a face mask for men as a joke because I've got my mum one and a car air freshener (he is a taxi driver).
Im happy that's out of the way. Still struggling with ideas mainly for OHs grandad. He's quite a young grandad haha, so far the only things I can think of is shower gel, socks and mini alcohol. He's a big fan of gardening and his shed but I think he's had just about every gift relating to that over the years as its his only hobby!
I'm also hoping to make some homemade cookies or something on Christmas eve to add to all the hampers.
If anyone has any further ideas, please share
What about some of the special 'welly socks' that are designed to keep your feet warm in wellies (which are freezing in the winter) and turn over the top of the welly so they don't keep falling down. (I know I'd like some but thing it's a bit extravagent a purchase to make for myself).
