So you’re talking about the 40s, 50s, 60s and possibly 70s?
Well, a copy of a newspaper for the day she was born (40s) is a good idea.
50s.....perhaps a DVD of a film that came out that decade. This was when rationing ended too.
60s has to be music, that’s when everything changed. Perhaps make a compilation of songs (one for each year) that stayed at No 1 the longest or were the most iconic. One beautiful one I remember is Acker Bilk’s Stranger on the Shore . It was also the decade of Pirate Radio Stations.
70s was this the decade she married and/or had you children. A favourite photo perhaps?
I think it’s a lovely idea. Pay no attention to the odd GNetter who ‘doesn't want anything’ you asked for ideas not their opinions.
