Off the top of my head, not counting the plethora of gift cards:

• A first edition Kindle Fire a month after it released. For being tech-illiterate, she ended up loving it and upgraded a few times through the years.

• Several Roku boxes and Fire TV sticks, which are just now getting used because my parents are finally cutting the cord.

• Lots of concert tickets for various bands, including Foo Fighters, Green Day, and Kiss.

• 1-week all expenses paid trip to Nashville for some big New Year’s party that some celebs showed up to.

• $600 cowboy boots.

• $300 KitchenAid mixer.

• A full set of Paula Dean cookware, and she LOVES Paula Dean.
