My Aunt just told me that she and my Uncle are going to Disney for their grandaughters’ spring break this March. Their shared birthday will be during the trip. I’m very close to both of them and regularly spend their birthday with them.
I would love to do something special for them to celebrate their birthdays since I cant be there. Most of the basket companies seem to sell plushies, balloons, candy or champagne- neither of which are a good fit. Do you know of any good companies that sell gift basket appropriate for that age group? Or else, any good ideas of what I can do to make their trip more magical? I’m open to any ideas you can think of.

Edible fruit basket? Do they have Crumbl there for cookie delivery?

I have zero experience with this business but I follow in fb and came very close to ordering once: GGs Gourmet — cookies, fruit, pastry baskets

Maybe a gift card with a note encouraging them to treat themselves to an experience or meal they wouldn’t splurge on ordinarily? I am not an octogenarian (just turned 60) — we splurged on the glimmering greenhouses tour in the land pavillion during our Dec and loved it. When thrill rides aren’t the highest priority anymore, it’s fun to slow down the pace of a WDW vacation and try something new.

Following on @RhodyMary’s recommendation, the Behind the Seeds tour for Living with the Land is a relatively short tour and easy walking.
If they have a meal booked, maybe you can add on a celebration cake?
This might be challenging to pull off a surprise if you are not there, though. Just thoughts.

I haven’t used this service personally, but Mouse Marketplace does customized gift baskets. The owner of the company seems very nice and accommodating. Here’s the link to the webpage: Gift Baskets For Walt Disney World Resort – Mouse Marketplace

There are several bakeries (cast members started several during the pandemic) that will deliver baskets with breakfast pastries, fruit, juice etc. I haven’t used one personally so I don’t want to recommend but they are easy to find via internet search.
