Or if you're a whiz, for my aunty's 50th last month, my uncle managed to scan pic's of the whole family right from when she was little up til now and put them on a DVD with her favourite songs playing in the background.
I think you can get a good (independant) deal for a weekend city break. Maybe treat her (& you) to a weekend somewhere different - I know your budget is �100 but perhaps you could increase it and go to Prague together and call it a Christmas/B'day/Mothers Day gift wrapped in one. Prague is beautiful in winter and I know a good hotel where she would be very impressed! Alternatively, Dublin / Riga / etc etc. The world is your oyster!
Another idea would be to look at the Oxfam website, you can buy a goat for a family in Africa for �25 for example. The family can get milk, breed the goat with someone elses and the male baby goats. Same with chickens, 10 chickens costs �10. If she already has everything maybe you could give a little something for her to someone else she might care for?
spk - I am around the same age as your Mum & like noddy, would be very happy to receive things for the garden.
When it was my birthday in August, our two daughters, my sister & friends bought me some beautiful antique looking fairies & pixies for my 'secret garden' & I was overwhelmed with them all. Some of them were from the Past Time store which is also on-line.
