How about getting your mom a special edition copy of her favorite John Steinbeck book or a collection of his lesser-known works? You could also consider a gift certificate to a local bookstore or an online store that specializes in classic literature so your mom can pick out her next Steinbeck read. Another idea is to take your mom on a literary-inspired trip to visit places that inspired Steinbeck's novels, such as Monterey or Salinas, California. Additionally, you could get your mom a beautiful, personalized leather-bound journal or notebook to write down her thoughts and musings about her favorite Steinbeck books.
Or you can get her a star map with the date when she gave birth to you.
