xmas gift for mom-wdyt

in 2nd Trimester

so we live in the chicago land area.  my mom is 64 and lives at home with my sister who has disablities.  my mom thinks she can still do everything, but she is getting up there in age and I get worried about her.

i was thinking about setting up snow removal service for her as a xmas gift.  do you think that is a bad gift?  they would come out every time there is at least 2 inches of snow and remove snow and salt the driveway, sidewalks and porch area, even clean off her car. 

opinions appreciated.

    I would say that's a pretty great gift... but I would get her something fun/nice for her on top of that.

    That's a great gift.  Do they offer it in Denver?

    That is awesome.... my mom is the same "I can do everything myself" way and the ONLY way that she's ever going to get any sort of service like that is from a gift. For example, my dad's been suggesting a cleaning lady for ages, but Mom has been resisting.... I'm thinking about getting her a couple of Merry Maids sessions like a "treat" but I think (hope) that she'll continue it afterwards.

    Hey, it worked with Netflix last year. She resisted and resisted, but now that she's been doing it for a year, she's going to renew on her own.

    yeah, they offered to do that...but my mom keeps her car in the garage so I don't think it is necessary
