My half
sister lost her mother recently and she is pregnant with her first
child. I am looking for special gift ideas that would honor her mother
(beyond lighting a candle at her baby shower) -- Looking for something unique. If you have any ideas
about how I might honor her mother through a special gift I would be most
appreciative! Thanks so much!

Personally I wouldn't do anything. If I lost my mom, the last thingI'd want is someone bringing it up at a baby shower, which is going to already be hard enough without my mom.
If you want to do something, maybe give it to her after the shower, in private.
I understand your heart is in the right place, but right now a home cooked meal is the best gift you can give her. I know when my daughter died, I got flowers, pictures, books, jewelry and other momentos that I still have not seen much. I don't know. Again, I knew people's hearts were in the right place, but a memorial gift is something so personal, that she should be the one picking it out. The best gift someone could have given me at the time was truly a home cooked meal. Oh and the other best gift is our church group helped to pay for grief counseling sessions. That helped tremendously.
I lost my mom a little over half way through my pregnancy, and I got a few things to honor her that I really appreciated. I had a little girl, so I had a close family friend (her kids were like grandkids, and she was like an extra daughter to my mom) who got a special angel Christmas ornament for the baby that was a baby laying in angel wings that said baby's first Christmas. She also got the baby a necklace with my mom's birthstone and first initial (my daughter was named after my mom). I also received a few angel momentos with notes about my mom being a guardian angel for the baby.
