If you and your sister have a warm relationship - maybe a long letter telling her how much you care for her and some memories that are meaningful?
If you and your sister are not close - maybe a check or cash telling her that it's a gift certificate to her favorite store or to apply it to something she has been wanting.
If she has way more money than you, than just find an appropriate card, show up at the party (if you want to) - if you don't plan to go, please send regrets - and let it go at that.

Is she a quilter?
How about a fat quarter cupcake or two?

or a bubble bath gift set? a nice bottle of wine?
my sis just celebrated double nickles, so we sent her to Reno with lots of nickels....

Here's a link with some ideas, but you can personalize it especially for her

Good and interesting ideas here, thank you! I'm leaning towards a 13"x 13" lined tote bag using beachy or at least bright outdoor fabric and stitching an embroidered motif for the front. I got the idea from the book "Patchwork Loves Embroidery" by Gail Pan. I may even make a small cosmetic bag because you can always use one for something.
That said, I might find some cotton fabric and fall in love and do the quilty thing. Having purged bins of fabric a few years back when looking through my current stash what I have left is one bin of pretty much prints and naturally not a solid to match the blue and teal dragonfly print I wanted to use, so I'll have to take a ride to the fabric store this weekend. I also thought of putting in a small label, like a 'made by me', because, why not?
Even if she uses it for a quick trip to the grocery store or gives it away, it will be okay with me. I feel like this is what will make me happy to make.
