I scanned the replies and did not see the suggestion of a very “soft and cuddly” cape style sweater. Preferably with pockets for the inevitable hanky.

My experience tells me that being chilly is almost always a problem. Washable and extra soft! “Cushy” small pillows are very nice for padding chair arms etc.

The things you have done are very thoughtful.

What about a TV series. For example, perhaps the first season of the waltons (to get started). It might jog some good memories for her plus it is a pretty good family show. Of course it could be any TV show that she can “relate too”. Maybe she was a big Dallas fan back in the day...you know what I mean...lol.

Sounds good to me - anything to help her be comfortable pampered.

From what you described, it sounds like the perfect gift would be. . .
Presto

The reviews at Amazon are very good

A nice radio so she can listen to talk radio.

1-3 paragraphs of fond memories of her—and a comment or 2 about what traits of hers or habits or deeds they most admired of hers—from all her relatives and friends—or even a handful of them—would likely make her day and be read and reread for months to come.

digital photo frame?

Please let me thank you belatedly for your brilliance. I'm going to see my grandmother (in her late 80's) over Christmas and had no idea what to get her. I'm on my way to get a photo frame now and load it up with a bunch of family photos. Great idea!

no problem! thats what we got my grandparents for their anniversary this year (60 years!) and they love it. of all the cool presents they got, they told everyone that was their favourite one, so that’s what i suggest for everyone.
apparently when you have 13 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren, you run out of wall space pretty quick.

old black and white pictures or old 8mm film conversion onto a CD....oh, you won't believe the gratitude.

The problem with that is you have to top it next year.
