I like the idea of burning a CD for her. Maybe have your girls pick out some songs they like for her and maybe you can also introduce them to songs that you know she likes.

I've seen something that is a cake mix in a mug sold at some stores. It's a cake that you can bake in a mug. I thought it'd be cute to send my aunt for her birthday so maybe it'd work for your package too. I found this recipe
