Is this a good birthday gift?

My sister-in-law , who lives in the mid-west, will be 82 on December 3rd.
My brother, her husband, passed away about 8 years ago and her daughter and sibling have little to do with her (she’s got some mental issues).

I want to send her a little something for her birthday, not too expensive for money reasons and she’ll probably forget she got it after a few days.

I did a search on Amazon for birthday gift ideas to ship to her and got suggestions for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, candies and:

Poop Like A Champion® High Fiber Cereal
16g Fiber per bowl
POOP LIKE A CHAMPION isn't made to taste great, it’s MADE to WORK GREAT!
YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE FROM THE BOTTOM UP.

but that strikes me as in extremely poor taste.

Unless, perhaps, she's been informing you of poop problems recently.

16 grams of fiber is pretty good to start the day off with. I think it's something like 24 grams of fiber per day is the requirement. The health articles I read say that few people meet the requirement.

Fiber is also important for cholesterol, people with heart problems, diabetes 2, etc.

It levels out blood sugar.
