How fortunate you are that she's thinking of your photographic activities!  
When asked what I want for Christmas my response was "no more 'stuff'".  
'Stuff' takes too much time to maintain, store, and otherwise look after.  
What I want is someone to do the yard work and repair the house and fences: 
a gift of time, so that I can use the lenses I already have.
