I had planned a surprise shopping trip to London but my brother got wind of this and invited her to London 3 days before my planned trip. So, I don't want to be like "Surprise! London....again."
I want to give her an experiance she will always remember rather than a gift she will put in a drawer and forget about. I've thought of the usual theatre, spa, makeover etc. But I want something really unusual.

A beautiful day to London to start with (Mum will think London shopping) then get on the Royal Orient Express to Bath for a great trip.
First class lounge and dinner etc, great things to do and see in Bath and a great trip back - she will love it.
When I looked at doing this it was about £450 each i think.
Best wishes hope it helps

How about a cookery day school pass even if she can cook, its a nice experience usually with dinner and overnight stay. Can be in UK or Ireland.
What about a hot air ballon trip, driving a racing car or tank!
If she is adventurous paint balling, not just for the young.
A day trip on a plane to Iceland, Venice etc
Hope this helps

How about Cadbury World with a tour of the factory? Does anyone ever outgrow a love for chocolate? :)
Either that or if she's a foodie, take her to a restaurant owned by Gordon Ramsey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Ramsey
or Heston Blumenthal (Fat Duck): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heston_Blumenthal
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fat_Duck
or Alain Roux (Waterside Inn) http://www.waterside-inn.co.uk/
Fat Duck and Waterside Inn are both in Bray, Berkshire and Gordon Ramsey (best known because of his books and TV shows) has several to choose from.

Take her up in a hot air balloon. I bought my mum that on her 80th. She loved it.
