Mom's sister is turning 65 on Saturday. We normally don't exchange gifts....

but I'm getting some strong hints to do something for a few reasons:
- Mom and her sister and really close now that they live near each other in Florida after living apart for basically 40 years (they were also close emotionally, but not physically)
- Aunt apparently got me something (under $25) for Christmas
- We are close, and she's very good to me
- My Aunt, like my mother, always feared she'd die young. Their mother had a stroke in her 50s. *ON* my Aunt's birthday. So turning 65 is pretty damn awesome.
It's not like her birthday is being ignored. My Mom, my Aunt, and her daughters and another aunt are getting a limo to the other side of Florida to go to Hard Rock Casino and Hotel for the weekend. Another aunt and cousin are flying down to surprise here.
But still feels like I should send something. Doesn't have to be hugely expensive, but am not sure what to send.
Something sorta sentimental and sweet seems good, but she is a sarcastic wise-ass, so that's not our of the question. But I think sweet is better in this case.
I'll probably prime overnight it via Amazon, which restricts a little. Any thoughts
