Milly, love your suggestion of Harrods, but to cut a long story short, she doesn't like Al-Fayed's new wife.... friend of a friend and something or other happened bla bla....
I love the suggestions of something more personal Gaia... will definitely add some of those into the overall gift
MahiSmart: She's a typical hoity toity french lady... she has china collections, those fabergé eggs etc... i don't want to go into unknown territory as i have no clue when it comes to antique collectables

And i love your second post suggestions, but she could get those from France herself... i want something really ....different....
Ahhhhhh this is so difficult!!!
What about a sari or something desi? I've never (over the last 20 years) given her any desi clothing, jewellery etc.... what about this?
