How about some slippers,nightgown,sweater, an outfit she can wear for special occassins. Pretty much it is limited what they can have in an old folks home. Since your grandma has to purchase shampoo, soap, etc. I would buy her a brush set along with shampoo, conditional and bars of soap. Why not put together a basket of goodies for her, why not make a basket for her on her neccissities.

I am not exactly sure what all she can have in a nursing home, but I think a nice picture of your family within a frame that you have let your kid(s) decorate with beads, glitter, or whatever would make a nice gift from all of you.

Is your grandmother close enough for you to visit...more than any present you could give her, she would enjoy the gift of the time you spend with her... If you are unable to go visit, then send photographs of you ( and of the two of you together), call her, send cards and letters....she will value these gifts more than anything you can give her... Do you paint, knit, anything like that? Have a craft or even play an instrument..make her something with your own hands, if you play an instrument, record something for her and send her the tape/cd whatever along with something to listen to it on..then she can brag to her friends and helpers that her grandaughter made that for her....

I would suggest a hand made photo album of good memories in her life, like wedding day, graduation, stuff like that. I think it's great that your grandmother is celebrating her 90th birthday- good for her!
