Need gift ideas

The wife of one of dh's old friends is turning 40 and they are having a party for her. We get together every so often, but while I know the wife I am just at a loss as to what to get her.   I don't feel like I know her well enough to know what she would like. I want to get something nice for her as they have always been good friends and I've known them for 12 years. Any suggestions?

Re: Need gift ideas

  • When I turned 30 most people brought a bottle of wine, even though we said no gifts. Some people also brought flowers.

    However, I love wine and flowers. :)

  • How much do you want to spend?

    Im thinking no more than $40. Does that sound about right?  I never know what to do on those things either.  

  • What about a 30-minute massage or a manicure gift card?

    Does she like to cook?  I really like getting nice cookbooks as gifts.

  • SpaFinder gift card.  She can use it for the service of her choice at any spa in their network.
  • I'd say a nice bottle of wine with some accessories (wince charms, decanter, hand painted wine glass, wine opener, decorative bottle toppers).
  • If she likes wine, nice bottle of wine.  If she likes to cook, consider a GC to Penzey's or Savory Spice Shop -- there are some fun blends and high end stuff you can get.  You can put together a nice relaxation basket with a fun old movie, book like Gift From the Sea, manicure GC or the like.
