Random poll - Niner Gift
If you could buy any Niner a gift, who would receive it? What would you give and why would you give it?
Let's say, budget of $100.

Re: Random poll - Niner Gift
i would buy Ames something. either the new Coach bag she wants, or have her get her hairs colored and nails done, or maybe just an entirely new outfit. something that is JUST for her.
because she is such a wonderful mother and wife, she rarely does things for herself. even when she runs to target she ends up getting stuff for Ellie and Guy and nothing for herself. she deserves a treat.
Let's see, just from some most recent posters
Kelklump - a fab top to wear for her maternity shoot
wamozart - new knitting needles and some really expensive yarn to knit
Mary - the entire set of Glee polish from OPI for countless mani/pedis
Rach - Z Gallerie gift card for home reasons
Mrs. Mo & Neuner - cupcake caddy both for future purposes
memily - new scrapbook or crafting caddy
Ames - photo album for pictures of Ellie at the zoo.
dbucks - gift certificate to her favorite salon to get her new style

I'd buy Stees a coat. ;-)
Oh, or Rach a pair of boots.
I'd buy Jill tickets to NKOTBSB at Fenway.
Except that she already freaking HAS THEM!!!!
I'd buy fabric to make all of the expectant ladies a quilt for their beebees.
I would buy Smo something killer for her styling shoots so she could put a signature on them in the photographs. I have a friend who does this and hers is a tiny little sterling silver button pin- you'd never notice it unless you were looking for it but it gives her portfolio a cohesive feeling.
I'd buy Stees a cute cover for her new phone. Or a blue button down.
I'd donate Amanda's money into her house fund.
I'd get Ames a photoshoot of Ellie and Guy- she was so sweet to do it for him, I know she's love to have some for herself.
I'd send MB flowers and a giant box of Crane paper and envelopes.
Jill would get an upgrade on her BSB/NKOTB tickets.
DD would get oragami paper and pregnancy tests.
I can think of more, just give me a minute
Stand up for something you believe in.
I would buy everyone a bottle of nommy nommy wine!
Stees - tickets to come to our wine tasting class with us (although that would involve plane tickets that are more than $100....)
Ames, MB, Kmo, Devon, and all the other mommies - a massage, because I feel like all moms should have one like once a week!
Mary - a really large, nice bottle of vodka. Because it sounds like she needs a drink. And then she can hit Kirk over the head with the empty bottle.
Rach - I'd pay her the $100 just to shop for me for a few hours, lol! And then give her some cupcakes for her skinny little butt!
DD - a whooping crane, ha! Can you buy cranes?
Jill - a decent chef's knife so she'll start mincing her own garlic, not using the stuff in a jar!
lemme think of more....
smo - something fab accessories to go with her fun personality
Ames - the coach bag she has been wanting
Neuner- I agree with the cupcake caddy
dbucks- I think the salon gc would be a great idea
Mary- the fabric she loves for her quilts and a bottle of very good booze.
rach- I again have to agree with the ZGallerie gc... great place.
wamo- gc to her fav knitting store
dd- lots of paper and patience to teach origami and the rest for pregnancy tests and baby stuff!
megan- cash to put toward all of the unexpected expenses.
sara- cute clothes for that little girl on the way!
d7- some yummy vino for all your parties and gc for the house reno
memily- a massage for all the p90x relief.
I need to think of the others.
I love this. And I love this post. We should do it weekly or monthly, it will make everyone feel so loved.
Woohoo! You're all so thoughtful:) I'd take those gifts any day:D
Mary - I'd make a donation to her Hillier Hobo fund:)
Nooner - I'd buy her a purse since I know she was looking for one.
Amanda (aortiz) - Obviously I would buy her tickets to see Gaga so we could go together:D
Amanda (dbucks) - I'd get those cognac sandals she wants from Piperlime.
Smo - I'd get her a GC to West Elm to put toward the chairs she likes there:)
MB - a spa day...I think she needs it after yesterday:)
Stees - Lia Sophia jewelry
Tonia - a GC to her favorite clothing store for some cute post-baby clothes:)

Mary: I would get her some really fabulous cupcakes because she is always baking for other people, and somebody should bake some special for her. Then I would also get her some sparkly turquiose heels, just cause.
SMo: I would get her all of the Jane Austen books from this collection.
Rach: I would get her one of two things. Either membership to a cheese of the month club, cause she loves fancy cheeses, or I would hire somebody to help her for a day to finish projects around her house. I would also require this person to dress up as Gaga.
MFEO: I would buy this adorable stuffed animal for Sami, and then I would send you off for a massage to help relieve some stress.
Memily: I would have this picture screenprinted onto some huge beach towels for you. Because huge beach towels are effing awesome.
I only have P&P from this series...ahhhh how I want the others! ???You! haha
