I like the memory book idea. How 'bout having everyone who will be attending the birthday party writing a special memory or two and making up a photo album of the attendees and including their written memories?

Are you a scrapper at all? Make up some pages with blanks for letters and take instant photos of everyone at the party....let them write her a message and then put their photo next to it... I did that for my mom one year, she loved it, and when she went to hospice, it went with her...
Make her a purse...or maybe just give her flowers?

What are her interests... does she have a computer... set up a skype account with you. Setting it up on both computers is free...just google Skype and go from there. Does she have a favorite restaurant? What does she like to do... go for her interests.. good luck she looks like a lovely lady. Happy Birthday to her!

Does she like pets? Maybe a kitten to keep her company or a new puppy? I know they can be work to take care of, but also a lot of company...
Also, I am a scrapbooker, and any time my family gives me stuff to use, or pages already done to add to my books, I love it.
I also quilt, and a memory quilt with pictures of the family would be something she could show off and snuggle under while watching TV and enjoy for years to come.
Does she exercise much? Maybe membership to a local gym or take her to the senior center to make new friends. A camera is also nice, she can document the things she has done and capture moments of everything she plans to do.
