That was very nice of the shop lady. I know the world has its share of jerks - but there are also wonderful people.

Yes I felt the same... when I was at the shop. Might be she had a grand ma or ma in that age who knows. I love that sort of people.

You'd be surprised at the number of older women who wear a wolfish grin at the thought of shirtless young men at their beck and call. The idea of topless waiters come to mind....

Of course she has to filled with help of their family. And the art shop lady gave me 50% discount when she hear what is the occasion and she asked me to give her blessings to this old lady with a chocolate box where there advertizing logo in....and she said it is from her and she does not add to the price. so It is done. Thank you for all your help ideas. I have chocolate box, photo frame, and a big card!
That was so nice of the shop lady to give you the chocolates! I think she'll have a great time with her family going through photos and choosing what to put in the frame

My brother told me better to ask from my friend for a gift tip,that is what we do with dutch culture but still I am not comfortable asking that I feel it will be bit odd to ask, also giving tips might not in their culture either, But in the other hand I don't want to give something what she does not like.


Any suggestions? the girl will be hot 95.
Her favorite food and a favorite bouquet of flowers???
