day off
Especially handy if you live with her and she has children ... take the kids off her hands and tell her she has the entire day to herself (ideally a day she also has off from work).

3.
house cleaning
If you have access, clean her house for her, concentrating on the jobs no one likes to do like scrubbing the bathroom floor and and cleaning the windows. If you don't have access, buy her a gift certificate for a cleaning from a maid service.

4.
vacation
This one is so far down the list only because it is so expensive and difficult to arrange -- but if you're able, surprise her with tickets and pre-paid hotel room to another place. Whether it's Paris or the next town over, she'll enjoy the break.

6.
dinner
Whether you eat out or in, she'll appreciate it. If you're not a very good cook and you want to have dinner in, consider ordering take out or a private caterer.

shopping
Get her a gift card to her favorite store ... preferably one that doesn't also cater to children or men so she won't be tempted to use it on gifts for others.

sleep in pass
If a full day off isn't realistic, at least make it a point to let her sleep in as long as possible.
