I am in a slightly unusual situation which the readers of net.social
may be able to help me with.  My mother is about to get married, and I
have no idea what to give her as a wedding present!

Yes, my parents are divorced, and my middle-aged mother has met and
fallen in love with another man.  I haven't yet met the lucky groom.

Naturally I want to get them both something special.  Somehow the usual
things that I get my mother for Christmas and birthdays won't cut it;
neither will linens, dinnerware, or other traditional wedding gifts.

I don't expect the folks out in netland to be able to magically read
my mother's mind and conjure up the perfect gift, but perhaps a little
brainstorming will help me think of something.  Please hurry -- the
wedding is in a week!
