So far I have come up with no ideas at all.

You could always try a garden holiday such as

pid=ppsg

Or http://worldwide.rhsgardenholidays.com/all-rhs-tours


And yet another http://www.brigh****erholidays.co.uk


Those are good ideas. I like giving a plant with the name of the person,
or if you've got something good to name, register a cultivar with her
name.

If you need an idea for a tool, I think concave pruners are the forgotten
tool in the garden. Sold as a bonsai tool typically but I use it to snip
the leftovers from side grafts, help pruning cuts heal almost invisibly.
One of my favourite tools.
