We'll be 61 this year, her birthday is in 2 weeks. I was thinking a little hamper maybe including prosecco or similar for around £30. I've been looking but can't really find anything nice enough. Any suggestions? Obviously has to get to her in time.

Lidl do some Prosecco in a crystal like bottle. You could get her a bouquet of flowers too.

Would you be able to sort out an afternoon tea for the two of you? Champagne is often offered as an addition and I presume prosecco. I am not a drinker so I never bother with the glass of something offer.

Have you looked at M and S website? They do a range of hampers.

My son got me this for my birthday. Really nice cheese and chutney.

I won't see her so thought I'd send something instead.

What does she like? Maybe you can get her one of those subsriptions where they deliver unique edibles or beverage every month. There are book subscription services that work like that, too. Or get her a delivery from her favorite place (but you need to make sure she will be at home)!
Does she like art? A nice wall art could make a great gift if she likes such things.
If you have lots of photos of her or, better yet, of you two together, you can create a birthday video with these pictures, add a song she likes in there and email it to her on her birthday.
Jewelry or fragrance are good options, but you need to be careful and make sure you know her taste well enough, because these might be very tricky. On the other hand, you can get her a nice scarf and it most definitely will be worn.
