I could be way off on this but I would accept the gift with gratitude. It may be a symbolic gesture on your mothers part to say that she understands the significance of the globe in your life. Although she told you "no" you cannot inherit the globe, this was said during a divorce where bad feelings existed between your mom & dad. She may have had second thoughts about the globe since then but does not want to make any promises. Divorce is hard on everyone but I suggest you look at the gift as a sign from your mom that she understands your attachment to the globe and is giving you a smaller one to hold on to as a keepsake (perhaps to serve as a reminder of your mom's love for you). Your mother's need to have a bond with you supersedes your need for a gift card this year. Motives are hard to interpret but since this is your mom, I would give her the benefit of any doubt.
