Mystery/Puzzle Games like Myst?

Fellas, I need a little help if it's not too much trouble. I've been ordering gifts for my mom for Mother's Day, and I was thinking about getting her a few PC games. She really enjoys point and click mystery games like Myst, 7th Guest, etc. They're easy and she's not a hardcore gamer. 
I realize this isn't exactly the most popular genre on the GB, but I figured at least one you may have some ideas. I'm looking for games that have come out in the last five years or so... I've ordered Drawn: Painted Tower, looking for one or two more. Thanks!
ETA-She doesn't do Steam, so disks will be required.

It's so easy I have my mom 72 and dad 77 signed up.

They're easy
Regardless, I know you said PC and disc-based but if she has an iPad, you should show her The Room. It's all touch driven, has some very fun puzzles, and definitely gave me a Myst / 7th Guest vibe while playing it.
I haven't played this one myself, but I've also heard The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief is good.
And like The Dude said, I've heard good things about "Titanic: Adventure Out of Time."

Thank you to everyone who posted. I'm going to go with...
I'm definitely going to set up an account for her when I'm there next time. Thanks again.
