What about making her a "coupon" book? You could have coupons good for "one back rub" or "one foot massage", "one homecooked dinner", "one car wash". "one shampoo and set", "one luxury bubble bath"...that sort of thing. If you have younger siblings, you could offer her one afternoon off and babysit (for free, of course).
If you have a bit of money stashed away, you could buy her a day at your local gym (make sure they have a sauna!) or some sort of special treatment at your local beauty salon (like a manicure or a facial).
For the book you could illustrate it with pictures clipped out of magazines or make your own drawings. And be sure to include one page telling her exactly how and why she is special to you; be specific.
When my next sister and I were little (in elementary school) and had NO income (we didn't get allowances and were too young to babysit) -- about six weeks before Christmas, our mother would give each of us a blank spiral notebook and ask us to make her and our Dad a "Christmas Book". We'd do drawings, write short stories and poetry, create crossword puzzles and other games. Those meant more to our parents than anything any amount of money could buy!
Good luck!

There are some lovely ideas and unusual things you can buy. You can name a star in your Mums name for about £50. Me and my Dad bought my mum that the other year from 'The Studio Catalogue.'
For My Mums 40th birthday, I bought her a professional photograph session. They made her look beautiful and took some fantastic photographs that I know my mum is incredibly pleased with.

Make her something your self. possibly a good card that declares all the failings you like and rejoice with approximately her? possibly upload some chocolate chip cookies or something. Mum's consistently like merely a sprint attempt and thought greater suitable than money.

a day out? - money is tight for me and my family this year (well ... every year) and i would really enjoy spending time with each of my kids on a one-to-one basis - don't get time alone with them often enough so would be a real treat. a cheap (low fat) lunch could be added to that but a picnic to carry with us is really cool too (yes - even in the middle of winter). what a thoughtful question xx

Buying flowers for christmas is just wrong. However, a great gift i bought recently were live orquids. They were in a small pot, they were accompanied by some paper and very well "frosted". She can either plant them, leave them there or improvise with them.

Ask her to write you a list of what she'd like, as many things as she wants. Then you can just pick stuff off the list. It's still a surprise (semi-surprise anyway) and at least then it'll be stuff you know she wants.
