Seriously though, what's appropriate? Over the years I gave nice thoughtful gifts and hers were not thoughtful and even IOUs that never materialised.
Wow, seriously??? Man that is so messed up. How old are your kids? Are they to the age where her birthday would be a big deal to them and THEY would be upset if they didn't get her something? If so then help them pick something out. If they don't care then don't bother given her past behavior.

Thinking out loud, maybe I could just ask what she wants to do and take it from there...
And do you think that would be alpha or beta behavior?
