I don't really have any advise, but I can share what happened to us.

We live in Nova Scotia and my mum is in Ontario. Our friends had a baby shower for us here, and my mum felt a bit left out that she couldn't be here, or have one for us. Her friends got wind of this and surprise her with a Granny Shower! They invited her over for a night of cards and when she walked in it was all decorated for a baby shower. They played shower games, had a cake etc.... They all bough presents for the baby, but she got to open them all. After they oohed and aahed over the clothes and played with the toys, they wrapped everything up again. Each person put 2-5 dollars (depending on the size of their gift) to pay to mail all the gifts to us.

This is a memory that she will always cherish and it even got it's own page in Liams' scrap/baby book!

Don't worry, you'll work something out.
