    I've just done a photo scrapbook of 60 photos of us for my mum's 60th, you could do a similar thing for your mum so that she can focus on the better things in her life right now ;) e.g her favourite things, happy memories, your fave things etc etc.

    oh savvy Tesco photo are doing a lovely little photo book for £4.97 at the moment but 60 photos in it might be pushing it.

    Takes a while and I made a couple of stupid mistakes while doing it but the end result is really nice.
