A gift for the oldest person in the UK

Posted on 31. May, 2010 by Rob Watson in Female

Last week Eunice Bowman was pronounced the oldest person in the UK at the ripe old age of 111.

A pretty monumental achievement by anyone’s standards.

So what exactly would you buy someone who has lived through 2 world wars?

Clearly Eunice is way past the years for adventure experiences and iPods, but reading her story one thing became clear.

Eunice has a lot of family.

I mean – one hell of a lot of family.

6 children, 17 grandchildren, 32 great grandchildren, 5 great-great grandchildren and 30 nephews and nieces.

Now, it’s gotta be hard keeping track of that many relatives, so I figured why not help her out?

So my idea is to get together a photo of every family member, along with a few words from each about what Eunice means to them, then put it all together in an album.

Sure, it would probably be a bit of a nightmare to organise, but that sort of personal gift is going to make one hell of an impression.
