Those are good ideas. I like giving a plant with the name of the person,
or if you've got something good to name, register a cultivar with her
name.

If you need an idea for a tool, I think concave pruners are the forgotten
tool in the garden. Sold as a bonsai tool typically but I use it to snip
the leftovers from side grafts, help pruning cuts heal almost invisibly.
One of my favourite tools.

Or you could forget the gardening aspect and just buy her a day or two
at a luxury Spa for a day or 2 of pampering

David I did ask if it has to be garden related but not had the courtesy of a
reply yet.
