Maybe next year you can get her a new butter churn and a new wash tub and scrub brush 😜😂😁.

Several years ago we bought Diana a 60 volt Snapper trimmer. I think that
was also the year that I bought her a new broom, sparing no expense. That
Snapper has been a great trimmer. It has a "soft start" and it just keeps
going. Earlier this week I was watching her plough through a batch of waist
high grass in a little lot too small for a bigger mower... I probably
wouldn't try to use it on very much brush and rocks but it should work fine
for any big yard. This year I bought her a really nice set of loppers... I
also bought her a good used 4 cycle edger / trimmer. It runs nice, I just
need to pick up an air cleaner for it.
