What's the best Mother's Day gift you ever received?

My mother isn't diabetic and she is 68 years old, just for reference. My parents are rather comfortable, so it is always difficult coming up with gifts for them. A recent good gift has been "experience" days. You can buy a couple dance lessons, a wine tasting excursion, tours of cities, etc. They have everything from from specialty cooking lessons to skydiving and race car driving! Surprisingly, they aren't all that expensive. It helps if your mom has a lot of interests, or things she's always wanted to do, and if she lives near a major city (my parents are in Philadelphia). Anyway, just a thought and something a bit unusual that has been a hit with my folks.

After the death of my dad I took my 84 year old mum along to one of my bands club gigs.. She used to be a proffessional dancer.. So was a little bewildered by the heavy metal scene.. I got her "laced" on wine surprisingly served in the spit & sawdust club. & gave her some ear defenders.. & left her in the care of my wife & a few friends while we rocked out!
She loved it.! Her remark afterwards was. "You all work hard for your money don't you?"

..... I think she was expecting songs from the sound of music..!
