What would you buy a kick ass gran?

Did you hear the one about the 77 year old black-belt granny?

Well, it’s no joke. Ena Mallet, grandmother and lollipop lady recently gained her 7th Dan black belt in Jui-Jitsu.

A pretty impressive task for anyone, let alone someone in their 70′s.

To mark this prestigious occasion I believe a special gift is in order.

Something memorable like Sphereing

Clearly Ena isn’t your typical pensioner, so I think she is sure to get a huge kick out of Sphereing.

I definitely think she would love being strapped into the centre of a huge balloon, then taking a roll down a steep hill.

There’s no age limits, except for in Scotland for some reason, and since Ena is as hard as nails, I don’t think there would be any problem there anyway.

But what if you wanted to give a gift that mixed both her passion for Jui-Jitsu and helping children with road safety.

Surely there is no such thing?

Well, I recon with a little bit of ingenuity we could make the perfect gift.

May I present to you…. The Lollipop Naginata!

Now for those that don’t know, the Naginata is a weapon used by Jui-Jitsu black belts. It’s 2/3rds a staff, and 1/3 a sword. Since Ena’s lollipop is roughly 2/3rds stick and 1/3 sign I recon that with a little modifying, a switch could be pressed to release the sign, revealing the razor sharp sword.

Yep, I’m sure Ena will be made up with that one. Just imagine the face of the driver that messes with her!
