Scented candles are cheap and plentiful.
But it really depends on your grandmother - she might like going to watch hog wrestling or cock fights for all we know

My mom is 74 and loves the digital picture frame I got her. Get one with a USB port and by using two cheap USB thumbdrives and you can send her fresh pictures from time to time. (You send her one stick with new pictures and she mails the other back to reload with more for the next time.) Get all her other grandkids to send you pictures and you will have lots of fresh snapshots for her.

Suggestion number two: No candy, no candles , no kitsch unless she specifically requests one of these items.
No - get her a candle.
You didn't say she had to like this present
