You mentioned she is taking lots of holidays, could she use a new suitcase or travel bag

For my nans birthday I made her a scrapbook, each family member had a page each where I put their photo, I then asked everyone to email me their favourite memories and funny things which have happened when spending time with my nanny. I got a few of her best friends to be in it also. I filled the rest of the pages with some family photos, old and new. I typed it all up and it looked lovely in the end, my nan loved it! Although she did cry when I gave it to her lol

Something simular may be a good idea for someone who has everything!

I bought my mum annual National Trust membership as a retirement present. She absolutely loved it and renewed it herself the following year.

Or if she's interested in gardens or gardening what about RHS membership?

That sounds like a perfect present. The best ones are the homemade ones that time and thought go into.

How about a newspaper of the day of her birth or a 2012 calendar with family pictures for each month?
