First I must commend you for your efforts. Allow me the warm-and-fuzzy girly thing: "Awwww!" <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I agree whole-heartedly with what the rest of the guys are saying: keep it simple, since there is very little you can do to entice someone who hates the survival thing. I faced a similar situation when assembling PSKs for my family last Christmas, and keeping everything small, simple, and easy to use, I saved everyone (including myself) a lot of hassle. Though my sister STILL resists even the tiniest efforts! <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

If you want to give your mom a SAK of sorts, you might consider this: Miss A Kit

I think it's fairly new, contains traditional SAK items in a magenta or rose casing AND a perfume bottle. I don't know whether to be insulted or buy one myself! It's like preparedness in disguise.
