Some ideas I came up with are passes to museums/shows, subscription to the New York Times, New York Magazine, etc. Unfortunately, shows and dinners are expensive and the other ideas aren't too creative. Any other ideas?

Get them a subscription to TimeOut New York so they will be informed of theatres, museum exhibits, book signings, restaurant openings, concert, free things to do, sales - an invaluable resource for New Yorkers.

Put together a scrapbook with you and her throughout the years. Go to the Scrapbook section of a craft store, and there are lots of different scrapbooks out there, some are very simple that you just put the pictures in little slots, some are predone pages that you just put the pictures on the page, and then maybe write something about the pictures. You are pressed for time So I would suggest something really simple. I would go for a pocketed scrapbook- where there are pockets to put the pictures, you can also buy journal boxes or photo mounting paper - if you want to personalize it and write some special messages to her. Just write it on the slip of paper and stick it in the pocket. If you tell the gals at the craft store what you want to do, they can give you some great ideas too. Edit** Also I noticed at Walgreens they have all kinds of gift cards- they even have some for US airways and Hyatt and Best Western- you could get her gift cards for travel- that may be a little out of the budget though (would be for me).

I second the subscription to Time Out New York.
Also, I'd get them the book "Not for Tourists: New York" (or Brooklyn or Queens, depending on where they're going to live). It's a New Yorker's bible!

This site has a link for tickets and I seem to remember it had some type of "ride" that flies around the city to give you a tour. Check out this site: iBtraveling.com and I'm sure you'll find something.

I would either get a Time Out: NY subscription or a Zagat guide (they have for restaurants, nightlife, shopping, etc.)
