Do you have any reason to think she'd be snowing you because it was a gift?
We got my grandmother something like this: http://www.target.com/p/2-pre-lit-snow-tip-pine-berry-tre... but without the berries or snow.
She no longer has the room for a big tree, nor does she easily get up into the attic anyway. The pre-lit tree allows her to just put on her favorite ornaments and feel festive with minimal effort.
If you think the tree is no longer going over well, then think of something else. I've done well using http://winecountrygiftbasket.com/ for out of town gift delivery.
