NO NO NO GIFT CARDS! (Cash is better, but can't you be more original?) Gift cards are lazy and we do not need all that plastic in our landfills for the next 200 years.
The perfect gift(s) for anyone is something they would adore and probably won't buy for themselves.
JEWELRY - Here's a hint! (Look for Sustainable!) Semi-precious stones mean you can go large.
PLANTS - Live plants including trees that can be replanted outside or in big beautiful ceramic pots out on the porch are a wonderful gift. A big bow or some cut flowers for the initial presentation are OK but at least choose her favorite flower. Never give an empty pot.
Topiary can turn her patio into Versailles!
A DONATION TO HER FAVORITE NONPROFIT (Take her out to dinner at a fine restaurant to announce that you will be doing so!)
A SILK ROBE or FULL PAJAMA OF GENEROUS PROPORTIONS (Vintage is Good. Think Veronica Lake! Tuck in a tiny bottle of expensive perfume.)
MUSEUM STORE FINDS! Many museum stores feature some locally made artisan jewelry, big tote bags made from their old banners, and so on, and you can order them to be sent anywhere and benefit the museum too.
May I Suggest? THE GETTY or THE MET STORE
