Ideas for Mother-in law's 80th Birthday present

Hello everyone :)

I'm looking for ideas for my mother in-law's 80th Birthday present. Maximum spend £100. It's very difficult as she has everything. She's fit and healthy, likes gardening, travelling and spending time with her large family.

All ideas gratefully received. :A

    What about a rare plant or two for the garden? They can be about £50 or more for the bulbs, my grandma's into her gardening too and that's probably what she'll get from me!

    What about taking her on a day out to see a special garden & having afternoon tea out?

    Definitely agree with an experience rather than 'stuff'.

    Thanks everyone, great ideas there. I've decided on afternoon tea at our lovely hotel in town.

    Take care :A
