My mum has recently got in touch with her son that she had adopted when he was born. My brother and I are meeting him for the first time on our mums birthday on the 18th. He sent me a birthday card (my birthday is tomorrow) and in it he asked for advice about what to get our mum. I have no idea what to get her myself, let alone what to tell him to get her. She likes travelling (she is currently in S.Africa), but i'm not really sure what else. Mumsy things really! She's about 55

The first answer was the best! I can't vote for it yet but I will! (unless some comes up with a better answer with 3 and a half hours!)
Any way, I don't know why I didn't think of it myself! Then again, Why did my brother not think of it himself? I just spoke to him! He seems rather nice!

One of my mates got her mother a dvd done up. You choose a song to go in the background to set the mood then photos that you choose starting from youngest to oldest blend into eah other in turn. You can have a message put in at the beginning or end or both. This is like a photo album diary. Everybody loved it and most people started crying. You can find someone to do this in wedding photography/videoing services.

He could get her flowers, and maybe you could both put together for a theatre trip with a meal in a plush restaurant. If funds run to it, how about an overnight stay in a nice hotel to end the evening?

How about taking her to dinner and maybe a movie or something just the two of them so they can spend quality time together. He could give her a card telling her to choose the time and place.
Hope this helps. Good luck to your family.

A situation like that calls for flowers . With flowers you cant loose. then when he knows her better the gifts can get more personal.
Congrats on your new family. I am very happy for you all.

How about you all go out for dinner together I am sure this will mean more to her than a present

A jewelry is always a good choice. What about a pendent that says:"Love you, Mom."?
