Gift for Step-Mum

Evening, as title says. My step-mum has always been very good to me. When my Dad was alive, I generally bought them a ‘couples’ gift. This will be our 3rd Christmas without him and I’m struggling to think what to get her.
In the past, I’ve bought garden plants, seed subscription, magazine subscription, candles, photo calendars.
She’s got a good disposable income so buys things as she wants/needs them.
She’s not into clothes (more so now permanently WFH). She wears the same precious jewellery my Dad bought her. Not into high end toiletries. She loves her garden.
Budget around £100, could do more for the right gift.

Book a day trip or a fancy lunch for you both. I'm sure she would rather have your time.

Bird bath?
Gardening stuff - gloves, secateurs, in a nice pot.

Thank you @MrsPerfect12, I’m sure she’d rather have my time too. Being a six hour car journey away, coupled with COVID restrictions means I’ve only seen her twice this year.

@Love51- she was given a beautiful bird bath by a friend when my Dad passed away and she has every top end garden tool you could think of, including a robotic lawn mower!

What about an RHS garden subscription. It would give her access to gardens around the country and I think they get a magazine every quarter too

@Madvixen- thank you. That’s a great idea.
