Ideas for a gift...

I have no idea where to post this, so I apologise if in wrong place.

 

My grandma is a very tech enthusiast person but not tech savvy at all. I bought her a smartphone a while back and she decided to upgrade it herself recently.

 

She bought herself a laptop and learned what she managed to with it.

 

This year my budget isn't very big (say around €50 tops) but would like her to give something she'd enjoy.

 

You have any idea of anything original I could offer her? Thanks in advance.

A bit over budget and not available in my country :(

 

But Chromecast seems a cool idea.
