I talk my mother into accepting it. She feels guilt about getting anything (beaten into her by her mother that she didn't deserve anything), but I plainly tell her that she's been doing things for me, so I would like to do things for her ... "so please graciously accept it". Reminding her of her manners helps.

She spoiled me as a kid, LOL.
Or, if the season is something that you'd like too you could try saying you bought it so that you could watch it together. Then maybe she'll see it as a gift for the both of you. And the stop smoking stuf...well really that IS a gift for you too. It'll be a gift of a healthier mom who is around for longer...what a great gift for both of you!
