Gift Ideas for the Wife? Help!!

Okay, so I am out of gift ideas for the woman who has everything including cancer. I have to find some appropriate gifts for her and I don't want to spend more than $500 to get it/them.
No, she doesn't do any kind of drug, so no QP suggestions or MDMA suggestions, please.
Any ideas?

Well given what you have told us in the past, your wife doesn't really have a lot of time left (sorry )
It has to be something with a lot of sentimental value.
Make a scrapbook with all the pictures of the fun moments you've had together, pictures of your kids, pics of your wedding. Make sure it's something she's gonna cry in happiness over. Something that makes her life feel full of joy. Something that will make her think she did something important and affected the lives of people around her positively.
No material crap. Happiness doesn't come in a cardboard box

carve a giant heart out of wood, paint it pinkish red, then hand paint lots of little pictures on there. Each picture will symbolize a special moment you've had together. This will be very cheap, so then you go to her favorite clothing store and put the leftover $400 something on a gift card that you tape to the back of the heart.
you're welcome

If she's able, and your schedule allows, maybe you two could take a trip together somewhere. Not mushrooms, I mean.

Mrs. MPD is down to 80 pounds. She won't be getting naked for any reason any time soon.

Do Patlal's scrapbook/whatever idea, and also get her a diamond that's valentine-shaped or set in a valentine-centric piece of jewelry.
Then, either in a note or card (or just speaking), tell her something that incorporates basically a) you don't know how long she will be around and b) she will be in your heart forever. You could take a couple different angles with this and obviously, point a) needs to be subtle and gentle but something along the lines of "However many more Christmases we have together, you're the best gift that could have ever happened and you'll be in my heart forever" could work, and perhaps the first part (a) ought simply be omitted outright.
If it would comfort her and/or you, you could also convey to her that when she passes, you'll keep that on your person until your time comes and you're together once more.
Man, I was already on a horrible guilt trip and now you've got me crying thinking about your wife. I'm so sorry for what she's going through.

You didn't; I brought it on myself and I felt bad from earlier already. Let us know what you get her! Good vibes both of you guys' way.

You gotta dance for her, man. Express your love and make her smile, it'll be special romantic moment full of laughter and joy and happiness.
And you should do every single thing everyone else in this thread has said, don't just pick one. Do it all for her.
I have a few more ideas, what about re-creating the moment that you proposed and you guys got engaged, or the most romantic time you ever spent together for her, all right down to the last detail.
Get a plane to drop rose petals and write a note for her in the sky
Name a star after her
Try and get her favourite singer/artist to come and sing her favourite song
Nothing is too much for love.

Give her experiences that matter. Experiences that matter are the most valuable thing in life, the facilitating and receiving on them.
Find new ways to ring her bell and keep on ringing it. This can be little things, the more personal the better.
Give her the one thing she WILL take with her when she crosses over: potent positive experiences.
